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

That reminds me of a cult that said after me and my wife die we will join back up in heaven and have plenty of sex. Then we would populate our own planet with these children which in turn will die and have plenty of sex in heaven with thier spouses and populate their own planet after they have become gods like me and my wife. :doh: :doh: :doh:


Does this sound familiar to anybody :doh: .

Well I am off to populate my own planet so I will see you later :doh: .

I have a headace - to much of :doh: I guess.

Forgive me for being critical but how does one mistake Eros for Agape when discussing the Lord?

I don't know.

I hate to say this, certainly don't want to come across as "better than" or "smarter than" other CF participants, but sometimes when I go to discussions not on the Reformed thread I can't help but wonder what kind of teaching do these folks get. Seriously - there are some really distorted views of the Gospel and Scripture out there. I realize that many feel that Reformed/Calvinist doctrine is a distortion (of course, they would be wrong;)) but I can't help but wonder sometimes, do people actually listen to themselves and what they're saying???:scratch:

I'm probably asking for trouble here - but I can't help but wondering. The referenced thread is so "out there," how come the moderators haven't closed it for review?

edie
Well, although it is really "out there", it is in the Christian Forums > Christians Only Section > Theology > Christian Philosophy & Ethics section therefore the "out there" opionion/beliefs don't fall within any denomination so a more liberal view of beliefs would be allowed. Also, I haven't looked close enough to see if the op conforms to the Nicene Creed.

Just my opionion.
