  • 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

Apparently you don't see the contradictions in what you are saying. You assert on the basis of Romans that we all know the truth about Jesus Christ, then you turn around and say we can't discern who is being patient or loving?

Apparently God's word continues to testify to Its truthfulness as your lack of discernment for the things of the Spirit is evidenced.

Scripture says you know the truth. But your own testimony makes known that you don't acknowledge the truth as the truth.

You continue to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior so NO, you have no discernment for patience and love that comes from the Spirit as, once again, you lack the Spirit's discernment, while preferring to use your OWN understanding.

You are one of many who have fallen for islam which the Lord calls a deception. Return to Christ on bended knees and repent of having bowed to a false god.

And I second that Amen! :preach:

I am not afraid of islam nor muslims. I find muslims cannot discuss the horrors of their religion for any length of time but try turning the topic on christianity. As for me, I pray for all muslims and chrislamics to turn away from a false god. You agreed that theological differences were too great between qur'an and bible.

No, I said that Christianity and Islam worship the same Creator but there are theological differences.

The problem I have seen with this other line of thinking is that it is based in lies and is more concerned with being sensitive and nonoffensive than it is with being truthful.

When a person starts receiving anonymous PMs from folks giving out blessings while calling them evil because they unabashedly preach God's word, then trust that the offense is the word of God.

No. I haven't heard of too many folks who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior praying to Him to protect them from His Bride.

As I said, I don't subscribe to witnessing by giving offense. I think it is dangerously misguided.

And that statement is a lie. In accordance with the word of God, Jesus Christ is the Creator. And Jesus is GOD.

There are no Muslims worshipping Jesus Christ as God. Muslims and Christians don't come anywhere close to worshipping the same creator.

Subscribe to witnessing Jesus Christ by witnessing Jesus Christ. That's what His word does.^_^

Gosh you mention that Jesus Christ is the only way and pretty much every other non-Christ following religion is going to take offense.

We witness through love. As Jesus taught us, the most important commandment is, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul; and love your neighbor as yourself."

Amen.

Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Galatians 6:14 "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

And we must also remember this...

James 4:4 "You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."

Better yet, turn to salvation.

Christ is my salvation, thank you very much. I'm not particularly interested in being anything other than a Christian and a servant of Jesus Christ.

That's only if you take Jesus seriously. It's only if you take the Bible seriously. It's only if you take Christianity seriously.

The problem is that the ignorant and the hateful don't want to take any of that seriously because that would be inconvenient and require actually being obedient to Jesus Christ. And we can't have any of that, it's too dangerous.

I was quoted directly, so it would seem it was addressed specifically to me.

Thank you for answering my question. It would help us all if we would simply remember that whatever we do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:17). Amen? May God bless you, brother.

Actually, the intolerance being shown in these countries is mostly a new thing. Wahhabis didn't get control of Arabia until 1924. Before that Wahhabism was considered a dangerous heresy. Where Islamism (as opposed to Islam) has taken hold elsewhere have mostly been in failed states like Somalia and Afghanistan. In Iran it was a reaction to an oppressive monarchy. Christians and Jews lived peaceably in Egypt until fairly recently, but the position of Jews became untenable with the establishment of the State of Israel and Christians have been increasingly subjected to popular violence as the political situation in Egypt became more unstable. What a lot of outsiders don't understand is that targeting religious minorities is frequently a way of undermining the state.

Thank you for educating me on that.

I hope that you understood my point though. Point being that if the EDL had as much longevity as some of the countries that practice these extreme laws, I am sure there would be a record of extreme acts for the EDL as well.
