  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

So...where did this come from?

I agree with the bot theory. I say let's ignore the bot until it proves that it isn't a bot.
Your love is dirty love. For indeed you have freely admitted to not being able to love those who are in need, namely babies.

God's Love is Eternal Love, and He alone Loves those who we deem as unworthy.

Doesn't God say not to judge others? And are you not judging JadeTigress by saying that her love is dirty?

You'd better start focusing on actually comprehending the words of the Bible instead of just spouting them out randomly.

I'm not judging the person, but the sin.

See post #53
What does n/t mean? I read your posts, but they still don't sound like your own words, and apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't understand what it is exactly that you're trying to say in respect to the OP, which is about not liking babies.

And since when is disliking babies a sin?

Also, since you yourself don't love everyone on earth (it's impossible to love literally everyone on earth), wouldn't that make your love dirty as well?

There are a lot of people out there in need, not just babies. And I certainly love those people, in a neighborly way. Enough that I occasionally donate my time and resources to them.

But honestly, though, I don't know why I'm wasting my time on you.

As I said in post #57, no I do not understand that post. And I don't exactly appreciate having to repeat myself, either.
You take offense at me, I take offense at no one, for Jesus is my Life, and He is not offended with you, nor I.

Post # 57 says this;

There's only One God, and He will not give His Glory to another, and that includes you.

Scriptural referrence;Isaiah 42:8

You either receive the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, or you go about to create your own.

Scriptural referrence;Romans 10:3

Ephesians 4:5-6
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Which word didn't you understand?

Please don't talk down to me as if I'm a child. It's quite rude, and it's most certainly not something that Christ would do.

And I understand all of the words in that post. I just don't understand how they make sense as a reply to my post. They just seem like a complete non sequitur to me.

I don't like babies or children, but I ADORE my own. I never wanted children because I was like you. I just couldn't stand them. If I had not gotten pregnant when a condom broke...then I am certain that I would still be childless. Since I have had my own children my intense dislike of children has softened quite a bit. Although, I still don't really like other peoples children. I guess it's not that I don't like them...I just don't want anything to do with them. Anyway, I love my children more than life itself and I think they are awesome! Other peoples children....not so much. I am actually a really great mother believe it or not. People tell me that all the time. Funny huh?

I thought about that. My patience with babies is pretty much nonexistent.

But I'm extremely patient with most everything else, so I don't know.

I think babies just trigger something in my subconscious. My behavior around them is completely atypical of my behavior at any other time, and it just kicks in. It's not something I can help or really control. The only control I have is if I realize that I'm about to hit one, I can catch my hand and hold back. But even that is extremely difficult for me to do.

I wonder if at some point in your life, when you were very young, you somehow felt threatened by or jealous of a baby? Do you have any younger siblings or are you the youngest?

I'm the youngest. No younger cousins or anything either. I've never even really been around a baby until my niece was born a few months ago. The only time before that that I was around them was if I'd see them when I'd go to the store or out to eat or something.

Are you seriously comparing yourself to Jesus?
No, that's reserved for Roman Catholics.
St Augustine expresses this with his usual concision: "Let us rejoice, therefore, and give thanks to God: not only have we become Christians, but we have become Christ Himself.
Source: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/c...0021210_martins-rosto-de-cristo_en.htmlMyself,

I yield to Jesus to be all HE is in and through me. I have a spirit, and God is a Spirit. I actively seek Him with my spirit.

I posted that Scripture because the Holy Spirit was bearing witness with my spirit of the Life of Christ in me.

Yet again you judge others without the proper knowledge of why they believe the things they do. You're not a Roman Catholic, so why assume you know everything about Roman Catholicism and can, thus, judge them for believing what they do?

So are you saying that you have Christ's spirit in you?

It's not the words themselves that no one understands, but the point that you're trying to make with those words.
The point is;

Why do people name themselves 'Christians' when they don't even know what it entails?

Being forgiven is one thing, but the WHOLE WORLD lies forgiven according to the Word of God in Scripture! :amen:

In order to become a Christian, we must invite Jesus into our hearts! :hug:
