• 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.

I doubt anyone is born being gay or being straight - to be gay or straight they would have to have a sexual identity & attraction - babies are not do not have a sexual identity or are sexually attracted to anything when they are born.

Yep I agree mate. I know there is scientific "evidence" suggesting otherwise but I cannot see where a God who makes all things perfect could get something so wrong as mess with sexual orientation in the womb! I know it's fair to say we all have different character traits and some men may have slightly more feminine mannerisms and so on, but as far as being gay, and I'm no scientist, but I believe it really comes down to a choice based on the condition of the mind and heart. If you've been conditioned to act in a certain way, whether you did it consciously or your environment influenced you, you will most likely act that way. If God so detests homosexuality (and let me stress as he does all forms of sexual contact outside of the confines of marraige) why on earth would he allow a precious little baby boy have gender confusion and an orientation for men when he was inside mummy's tummy? That suggests God is unjust - and my Bible and my experience of God compel me to believe nothing of the sort. Praise the Lord!

And in answer to your sig, MABUTI! SALAMAT PO! (my spelling of that is probably wrong tho!)

Note that this scripture refers to a variety of sin, and does not express any particular sin to be worse than others.
Right. So theft is no worse than homosexuality. Your comment can be applied to the 1 Timothy quote as well. Homosexuality is just as bad a sin as murdering your mother and father.

I'm not sure if this is what you were saying or not, but I thought I'd say it as well anyway.

I should have added that I added the emphasis in those quotes, merely as a means of drawing the attention to the fact that homosexuality is regarded as a sin with those other sins - not to stand homosexuality out from the other sins.

When I began to read the original comments discussing the show I was repulsed by the response. I heard about the show and knew that it was dangerous, but have you noticed that worldly (and I use that word lightly) people don't take things on the media seriously, until it supports their desire to sin and to put down christianity. When it seems to demean true Chrisitanity they grab it with both hands and shout it on the rooftops. Yet they dismiss the media when the sciences help prove the Bible and Jevovah. :bow:So, good on you DanielJameSimon for taking the stand and as a Christian I know he speaks for most of the Christians I know. And that's encouraging.
