  • 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.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3

Sounds exactly like "Christianity" today.


Sounds like what the secular world wants. Many of them want to hear how they can do whatever they want to do.
Actually, I think it is both. However, the greater danger is that this is happening in the Church, in local churches among people who profess to be Christians. It is easy to ignore or discredit false teachings outside of the Church, but when they come from inside--in churches that profess to represent the Body of Christ--it is deceptive and dangerous to many people who consider themselves to be Christians.

I think Christianity is unchanged, individuals might be change, but its unchanged. Abortion was always wrong and it will always be, same with the homosexual thing. Even if were the minority.
I agree. Remember that real Christianity is always radical, and that truth is always the minority.

[openup4christ]Heres a question from u Guys since u have been around for a while has Christianity Gotten better or corrupted ?
God never changes, he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The message of salvation is what Christ accomplished on the cross for the world. I think it's man that has become more corrupt or better (how ever you want to define better) not Christianity. What is Christianity to you? There are so many denominations and differences within the body of Christ that it would it be almost impossible to answer your original question.

What makes Christianity corrupt? The answer to that question has to be man.

Peace :)

This thread has been very informative from my viewpoint. It is reassuring, in an unpleasant way, to know exactly how much you hate us on the liberal side.

We are apostate, we are whoremongerers. Ours is only "Christianity", not the true faith. We are the tools of Satan. We are idolatrous. We are unloving. We are corruption. We are going to suffer the judgement of God.

It's been an education.

The church is doing great. As Eusebios said, it cannot be overcome. However, people who are not part of the church that claim to be are doing worse than ever. You can always recognize a true Christian by their fruit.
And what would you say that is, Bizzlebin?

the Christian church? hrm....

I feel that so long as the Spirit of Truth is leading a church, it will not be corrupted and cannot be wiped out. Case in point? A church serving the Lord; building burnt to the ground yet the Body gathered and church service started 8:00am that Sunday morning. True, a chain is as strong as its weakest link but it is our duty to build each other up, pray with and for each other, not cause dissension but seek God and His word for all things. amen?
