• 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.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

Romans 8:7 states that the "carnal mind" is hostile to God and cannot submit to His law.

You say that the "us" is "we humans", but that's dead wrong as the verse above clearly shows.
That is why they are commanded to repent. We all have that choice while alive.

No, no no. That's not true at all, since it's impossible for anyone to repent unless God first gives them the gift of repentance. You try asking a corpse to repent and see if they exercise their "free choice" and chose to repent. This is exactly what you're suggesting, is possible.

Haven't you heard that you were born dead in sin, how can a dead man exercise his human rights and choose the path to eternal paradise, instead of eternal torment in the lake of fire. Are you suggesting that the vast majority of mankind choses to spend eternity in hell???

If you insist on equating a love and reverence for God and His Holy Word as hatred for ones neighbor, by all means, carry on.
Just looking at what is actually being done to the neighbors by the positions Del. Nothing personal. It's just how you happen to see it, but that doesn't mean it adds up
You seem to freely pick and choose whatever words suit your narrative at any given time, so I see no point in discussing this topic any further.
My observations are pretty simple in this regards:

Love neighbors does not equate to promoting them to be burned alive forever for not believing like you.

I'd be embarrassed to try to pin my so called faith in that when faith supposedly works through love and love neighbors

Burning people alive forever is NOT done by faith
As I previously stated, God will do as He pleases.
Fortunately God is quite a bit better than the sum of us
