• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There is no strawman . either you do not understand what a strawman is or you do not understand what I am saying and what I am directing my post at . I am simply pointing out how silly it is to point the finger at muslims for killing apostates when you christians believe that apostates are going to hell which is either complete spiritual death or eternal damnation . Its a clear cut example of the pot calling the kettle black and I fail to see how this is a strawman .

Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned {of sin; not salvation} of himself.


No one can lose his/her Salvation, but when someone teaches or holds beliefs that go directly contrary to Scripture, then the command in this verse must be followed.

My apologies for the very late reply.

A strawman is to reconstruct someone's beliefs and then demolish that false construction; you've done that here in relation to my views on salvation etc. You've not even asked what I believe in this regard.
