  • 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.

Hmmmm...

In the 1980's and early 1990's, Bishop E. Bernard Jordan was a very high-profile minister in the Prophetic Movement, around the same time as the Kansas City Prophets, as well as many others, burst onto the scene. During that time, he was respected in the Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian community, and his upbringing bears out a Christian background. However, respect for him decreased when he started promoting a theology to back financial giving to receive a prophetic word (he may still be promoting giving a $365 seed for a prophetic word to outline your year). Mr. Jordan also flirted with Eastern Orthodoxy, incorporating some of the regalia and ceremony. However, there are some connections Mr. Jordan has with some interesting characters (such as Reverend Ike, Al Sharpton, and Mark Hansen of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series).

My thoughts? Mr. Jordan's drifted from the Pentecostal/Charismatic mainstream with a prosperity emphasis that probably would make even some radical WOFers blush, and I think some of the stuff happening there may border on fortune-telling and possibly divination. There may be some good happening, and I know God honors people's true faith, but I think some things are seriously amiss there.
