  • 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.

Actually, this sort of language sounds pretty juvenile. Why don't you just use the phrase 'right-wing Christian' instead of fundamentalist? Not all adherents of right wing Christian sects are fundamentalist.
becuz "fundamentalist" is used a slur and has a negative purpose.

Unfortunately, she doesn't see her own "inside the box" narrowisms
that are identical on the flipside of ours.

& I don't care that she has them either, my issue is the hypocrisy in using attack against others for the same when they don't
happen to be in agreement with hers.

This is much like the attacks we get for "intolerance". .
while they're intolerant of conservatives or orthodoxy.
Again, I don't care if she's intolerant, I DO care that there's
hypocrisy in the accusations when doing the same.

And so every thread in this entire forum completely stops talking about the original issue and becomes a debate about the nature of scripture? That doesn't sound like a constructive way to do things.

Welcome to forum debate...

I can't think of one that isn't, but as a general rule I do as you say...until the subject of Biblical Literacism is broached. Then it's always appropriate.

How can you say 'fundamentalist' is a slur when the term was coined by fundamentalists?

Exactly, but people preaching LOVE won't see it. They don't see their intolerance and hate while they preach love, so it makes me laugh on the one hand and think they're mental on the other. :D

You can't preach against intolerance when you yourself are intolerant. :D

let's start off by the title you use under your member name:


Recruit to what?

Apparently she's trying to recruit people to the heresy that she spews out. It's best to heed not the blasphemy, but to rebuke it.

"6Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, 7desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions." 1 Timothy 1:6-7

"3If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain." 1 Timothy 6:3-5

"1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." 2 Peter 2:1-3

"15And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures." 2 Peter 3:15-16

What, you don't know?

No, I really don't. But you're the one so hung up on all these labels for people, so why don't you share another one of your prejudices and labels for people.

You must have a large collection of them. But I wonder if these bigoted labels have made you wise? That's what I wonder.

Right wing Christian? Isn't that a bit like saying "Hebraic Jew"? Rather the left-wing Christians are the ones deviating from scripture. And if you don't believe in Scripture, then what exactly makes you a Christian?

"Whosoever believes in him, and is a part of the political right wing in america, shall not die but have eternal life" - the gospel according to too many.

Preach it! Amen!

I do apologize for this in advance. I cannot stand the bickering that goes on here sometimes, but I have had enough. This is false teaching, and it is a blatant attempt to discredit the faith and spread lies within the church. The sad part, to me, is not that it is happening, for I know that it will happen, but that so many are deceived by it. Billy Graham once estimated that less than 10% of "believers" are truly saved.

Dude, apologising in advance doesn't make it any better. If you know you'll need to apologise you shouldn't say it. Apologising should come with a change of heart. But then I'm probably not saved either...

demons believe . . . and tremble.

They still fight & reject the truth.

Today, people use the word "believe" as if you just believe a god
or Jesus that you're in.
That's NOT what believe means, FAITH brings the salvation -
and that FAITH also prompts the obedience to God's teachings &
principles.

TL here earlier said that if the OT were true, that god is a "monster".
Funny, that's the very one Jesus came to obey (fulfill law) & preach
& point to (His Father).

Just claiming you believe in God isn't salvation - & IF it is, the fruit
will display that inward regeneration.
I hate to dissappoint some of you folks, but God isn't going to be
on His throne at judgment day looking to see if you carry a little
CF Christian icon to decide your fate.

These symbols mean nothing except for what is preached & backed up
by good fruit that coincides with His teachings. (contrary to humanistic
myth)

He's not going to be looking at your voting history either.

I brought up nothing about politics.

But if you want to challenge my statement scripturally for what it says,
you're welcome to it
