  • 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.

Canabis ect.

Christians are to submit according to common sense and also as long as it does not go against the Bible.

uuummm does God have a list on what's good common sence and what's not? common sence tells me that Cannabis does not hurt anyone (well unless it is a drug deal gone bad...but that's only cuz it is ILLEGAL!!) SO obey the authohity's unless you don't like what they are doing...cool i don't like that Cannabis is illegal....SMOKE UP!

Why doesn't God give us a second chance?

Response: Again this comes back to free will. If God manipulates the choice it isn't really free will is it? Choosing to follow Christ after experiencing the reality of hell is like choosing to bet on a horse race moments before the winner crosses the finish line. God made the evidence of His presence overwhelming. He gave us His Word in the Bible, He sent his Son to die for us, and he created the amazing universe we live in. He also gave us guidelines to live by because He wants peace and happiness for us. He didn't want us to live in chaos without Him, only to accept Him when the race is finished. God is a personal God who loves us and wants us to have hope, a hope that he freely gives. But, it is up to us to choose eternity with Him or apart from Him. God is honoring the right of those he created to make their own choices. We are not just a means to an end. He loves us and created us as unique individuals. He will reward us and receive us with open arms if we choose Him.

Your problem is you keep using different words with vastly different meanings, thinking it's all the same thing. Pagan, Wiccan, witch, witchcraft all have different meanings.


Pentacostal, Baptist, Church of Scotland all are different and all lead to Jesus.


Pagan, Wiccan, witch, witchcraft all are different and all lead to Satan.

Ok, where is it, what is it.

THIS IS THE PRESSENCE OF GOD AND CAN BE FOUND WHEN YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS JUST ASK HIM,

"JESUS SHOW ME YOUR OVERWELMING PRESENCE".

BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MEAN IT FROM YOUR HEART AND THEN HE WILL SHOW YOU.

Revelation 21:8
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”


According to W.E. Vine’s expository dictionary of New Testament Words (page 1074), the word SORCERY comes from a Greek word, PHARMAKIA - used as a noun, it “signifies a sorcerer,” one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, as in Rev. 21:8.

I sopose this would relate to man made drugs not natural.

It seems you have a much more significant problem with prescription medication (man-made drugs) than you do with cannibus.

First of all - stop shouting.

And you'll find that a lot of the non-Christians on these boards started out as Christians (myself included). So we've already done what you suggested.

Well, that's a Christian POV. But you're use of the words is still wrong, and by continually labeling Wiccans as something they are not, you are slandering them. You have also demonstated that you know nothing about real Wicca. You get you info from malicious ppl who hate Wicca, and have an agenda to promote. You believe their lies, but when someone tried to actually clue you in on what Wicca really is, you aren't even open to the possibilty that you're wrong. Which, oddly enough, is a good sign that you're wrong to begin with.

Yea, I tried that a while back, He didn't say much.

God made the evidence of His presence overwhelming.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO ANSWER ABOUT THIS?

You say the He made the evidence overwhelming, which means that there's evidence abound. I want you to explain this. Where is this evidence? What is this evidence?

No they are not bad because they are prescribed for you by trained professionals were as illigal drugs are not.

Also you don't know were illigal drugs are from or what is in them there could be anything in them and people that sell them do not moniter how much you take thats why they are illigal.

The bible tells us to submit to the goverment as drugs are illigal we are not obeying this verse in the Bible.

Rom 13:1-2 says, “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”

1Pet 2:13a says, “Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men.”



Well then, the Bible seems to be condradicting itself, as it says not to take drugs (man-made), then it does say to submit to authority which prescribes drugs.

You seem to be interpreting the Bible to support your pre-conceived notion that smoking pot is wrong.

Instead of thinking "smoking pot is wrong", now, let's try to find scripture to support it (as many Christians do), read the scripture with an open mind.

I SAID God made the evidence of His presence overwhelming.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OUT THERE AMONG CHRISTIANS ABOUT GODS PRESENCE.

The information I know about Wicca comes from a christian woman I know who used to be a wiccan.
