  • 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.

Beware Global Warming!

Well SOME January has to have that distinction.

Earth has had just a little over 6000 January's.

One of them is the coldest, and one of them is the hottest.

And before I cater to science's scareware, I'll give it a few years.

If the LORD doesn't come first.
Sometimes you're hilarious so thanks for making me laugh this morning.

The impact of humankind on the environment is undeniable, both at local level with areas of hideous air pollution and at world level with the oceans full of man made rubbish.

Everyone can see the climate is changing, dramatically in soem areas, is it coincidence that this is happening at the same time we are burning billions of tons of fossil fuels which took billions of years to make? As has been said many times, climate change will result in increased frequency of extreme climate events, and if you open your eyes you'll see them happening.

As for the Lord coming first, I wouldn't hold your breath, he is not going to come so it's only humanity who can save the planet.

No, because, as we all know, the universe was created last Thursday.
I wonder if he is consistent enough to believe there is no such thing as "13 billion years ago," since "years" is ... relatively ... a supermodern concept?

How horrible. Theocracys are dictatorships.

I dont belive in god(s) so quoting religious texts is pretty stupid when trying to make points with me.

Then why did you ask me if I wanted a theocracy?

Asking a dispensationalist if he wants a theocracy is like asking a kid in school if he wants recess.

AV what if the theocracy is of the wrong denomination? Anyone for a Jehovahs Witnesses theocracy? Would you be overjoyed with a Catholic theocracy?

Then it's a false theocracy.

There are stipulations for the theocracy that is coming, which are too numerous to list here.

Things have to happen first that no false theocracy will be able to go through successfully.

Any of you ... ahem ... educatees ever heard this song before?


If you have, are you so lousy dense as to wonder why Christians can't wait for it?

If I was as educated as you guys are, I'd be a mission field.

Any theocracy ruled by people claiming to speak for God is a "false theocracy". What AV speaks of is a theocracy ruled directly by Jesus Christ Himself. That's the only acceptable kind of theocracy.

But until He returns, democracy is probably the best way to go.
