  • 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

How ridiculous is this?

Church Robocall Promises You`ll Go to Hell If You Don`t Join

(no title)

hi Everyone,

I was looking online for advice for Christian singles,and I came across a website that supposedly claimed “you will go to hell. You don’t join our church” *eye roll* now I only looked at a few things,and of course I don’t believe a thing they said.If like your guys opinions on this,because In their website they go far enough to say that you need to pay $100 for tithing.My opinion is that this is a cult.

So many people peddling their own religion and making a fortune doing that, especially in America. Be careful what you believe brother, for only True Jesus can bring us to the Father.

Best get to know Jesus brother, He lives in your heart in Spirit. He always speaks the truths of scripture in love for God, you and your neighbour just like He does you. Learn to heed Him brother. The truth of God's love will take you out of this crappy world and bring you into Christ's Life instead.

Peace.

Do you believe that you have to attend a church and follow the preaching to not die and go to hell? If so you are the same as the one you post about..... just not as demonstrative.

Attend, listen, do, support to avoid hellfire.......has long been the value proposition of the church.

This is nothing new...... and I find no fault in it.

No church I know would allow anyone to attend continually without support.....and they shouldn't.

Bills have to be paid to keep the doors open, preachers preaching, cleaner cleaning, and musicians playing.

We need to get James Veitch on these guys. I'll pay him $100 to do it if he'll go for it.
They'll pay him $100 to leave by the time he's done with them lol.

I grew up in a cult. And this one comes from the underbelly of hell itself. This leader, whoever it is, is facing damnation for being a servant of satan.

Those are just scam tactics with a religious bent. Take the people who claim that you're in trouble with the IRS or the FBI unless you spring for the protection they're cold-calling you with, add blasphemy, and you get this.

I guess they decided on a different approach than if you give them money God will make you rich.
I guess they were too poor or too greedy to invest in prayer cloths to mail people.

First of all, this is an online "church". Second of all they're saying if you don't join it, you'll go to hell. So, considering you find no fault with this "church" are you going to join it to stay out of hell?

I wonder if this preacher used the same tactic to get a date for his high school prom.

I recently got this voicemail from a robot with an American accent: "...there are legal enforcement actions filed on your social security number for fraudulent activities. So when you get this message, kindly call back at the earliest possible on our number, before we begin with the legal proceedings that is. 240-3..."

It reminds me of "A True Church" pastored by Darwin Fish. That's the actual name he was given at birth. Same deal. Only by joining his church and through his unique ministry could you be saved. This was back in 2008. It fizzled out since then. Or it's continuing in some other form without Darwin being in charge any longer. You'll come across the odd self proclaimed prophet here on CF too. The first and only person to get it right in 2000 years - take a number and get in line with the others.
