• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Okay, I'm going to respond to you as though you were an honest correspondent who just got mixed up in the thread.

In my post #309 I said:


In your post #320, you quoted my post #309 and said:


My response to your post #320 was post #322, which said:


And then you respond with post #339:


Now, maybe you just got confused in the thread and thought you were responding to someone else. I'll leave it at that.
not wanting to get off topic here but the way quotes are cut off after the ist generation has caused more than one instance of confussion.

Why don't you take your own advice and read posts properly? It takes no great leap of the imagination to view someone who expresses contempt for a woman witnessing to an immemorial and very basic Christian belief that Adam and Steve don't make a married couple, and indeed for contempt for that witness, as endorsing sodomy. You are in effect saying that the second largest Christian denomination in the world is not mainstream. Because same-sex 'marriage' certainly is not. If anyone is an interloper here, it is you.
Paul, Greg never would promote sodomy; he has criticized the way some Orthodox Christians have (on Facebook, etc.) put Kim Davis on a pedestal, so to speak. That doesn't mean he promotes sodomy, and yes I have read every post. All of us on TAW believe strongly in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, and we all deny the validity of a marriage between two people of the same sex.

"It takes no great leap of the imagination to view someone who expresses contempt for a woman witnessing to an immemorial and very basic Christian belief that Adam and Steve don't make a married couple, and indeed for contempt for that witness, as endorsing sodomy."

That will only happen if one is an extremely judgmental person and yes, who did not read. Had they read, they would have seen that no one gave any indication of holding anyone in contempt, nor support sodomy.

So you words are null and void.

I don't know if you are actually in the UK, but if you are. I would think your reading skills would be so much better. Since you guys across the pond like to think your education system is so much better than what we got in America. Based on your responses, your reading comprehension skills seem to leave much to be desired.

You're right, we don't need to talk about Kim, for this tread was never actually about Kim the person, but Orthodox people making her out to be a hero/martyr.
Is it making her a hero or personifying themselve in her.

I understand.... over-tiredness can eventually 'get to' the best of us, I'm sure.

I also appreciate your not wishing to burden me with explaining it to you, point by point.

But I admire your chuzpah, even when you're feeling 'under the weather'.

A happy outcome for both of us. Thank you.

Just peeking in - the thread still goes on! I see at least one mention of the initial point, and a bit of apparent misunderstanding as well.

I have to agree with Obi-Wan though ...
