  • 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.

Well, it's fart jokes here and we are trying to decide what to call the followers of the eternal torment theory over there: http://www.christianforums.com/t7606980/#post58987028

The last suggestion, made by myself is "Chuckites". So as you can see, we need a lot of help coming up with a proper label to put on the Eternal Torment Denominations.

Where did you get the popcorn?
I popped it all up by myself over the lake of fire.

The proper term is orthodox, just as belief in an afterlife is also orthodox.

The word "orthodox" actually means "adhering to correct doctrine", so that leaves those who believe in eternal torment out. The bible specifically states that the wages of sin is death (not eternal torment), so an orthodox POV must acknowledge this. I believe that the wage of sin is death, therefore I am "orthodox".

I'm really curious though. What should the defenders of eternal torment be called to distinguish them from other believers?

You are wasting your time... even though the forum is "Unorthodox" Theology Tim considers himself in the "majority" such that others not agreeing with him should be labeled and not himself. It is typical to label the non standard stuff in society to separate it from "normal" and not worry about labeling normal things. There are those who would label every chicken egg as a chicken egg and not want to label an ostrich or hummingbird egg as but simply an egg.

You wish to continue your LOSING battle with me, eh? ^_^


Failing to SHOW and DISPLAY that you DO have LOVE for me, ...and are a FAILURE and HYPOCRITE, in "turning the other cheek"... which YOU EXPECT of me !


As you herein you HARP about and upon the least of things... Instead of opening your EARS to teaching of the WORD, as any worthy STUDENT of the WORD, would do -- Acts 17:11 -- 2 Tim 2:15


*******************************************************


The "FEDERAL CASE"... as was previously suggested prophetically -- quote by (humorous) quote:

Jesus would not condone fart talk at all.

FIRST --- Oh really? ^_^ ...well it WAS, IS , and MORE THAN LIKELY ...WILL BE taking place, so He must be "condoning" it in some way.

Have you so little insight as to think that ANYTHING occurs in this EXISTENT scenario that HE has not already NOTED that it SHALL EXIST, gradyll? -- Isaiah 46:10 -- (which includes the "detail" of "farting")


We are LIVING His DECLARATION of us from the "END to BEGINNING" -- "the THINGS YET to be DONE" -- "BEGINNING to END", ...to the DETAIL...

Get used to it brother... for we shall LIVE as HE declares we shall FOREVER! As HIS WILL is that which IS DONE in the ETERNAL...

NOT ONE THING has occured in this LIFE, that does not FOLLOW to the DETAIL, ...His DECLARATION of it before it occured... including "farting"... and the "laughing" that often accompanies it's manifestation... :D


SECOND --- In your ARROGANCE, you propose now to speak for JESUS ("Jesus would not condone fart talk at all") = gradyll?

Please! :sigh:

ALL things that are MADE, are MADE by Him... including the ever humourous, but sometimes humiliating, ..."fart" -- John 1:3 -- If a "thing" exists, it exists because YHVH God has decided it shall exist... The "fart" exists... simply because HE decided that it shall... :D ...so it DOES! ;)



THIRD --- In your continuing EXAGGERATIONS, ...you show that you are quite stiff-necked and unyielding, ...and within that attribute, sorely lacking a sense of humor which is become more than evident each day via your writings on this forum...

AND

Hey! --- thanks for verifying my suggestion to be true about you, ...that you would MAKE A "FEDERAL CASE" about FARTING... for herein is the proof! Congrats, this has earned you, yet another triple! = ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

At least in can be noted that you were succesful in "PROVING" something, as you cannot and WILL NOT, PROVE your "scientific contentions... :sorry:

Still waiting...


gradyll said:
Is it funny when you go to the bathroom willie? When you sit on the toilet and you release your feces do you crack a smile and laugh hysterically?


No, actually, I thank God EACH TIME, ...for my time spent in the bathroom, as I have had surgery TWICE in that area, not to mention, ...I am taking pain meds for pain (CANCER) ...which CONSTIPATE... as well concerning the digestive processes, ...I have had ulcer, and DO HAVE the digestive disorders of acid reflux, and diverticulitis...

So, ...I remain very THANKFUL to GOD for releasing from my body, that which is wasteful and uneeded. :thumbsup:

As far as "farting", and where it is manifest, ...IMO, ...it is probably occurs more prevalently in an ELEVATOR than in the bathroom, ...but Hey -- that is just IMO... ^_^


gradyll said:
Why is it that farting is so funny to you?


FIRST --- Your EXAGGERATIONS of my words continue, ...for I have not disclosed that "farting" is "SO FUNNY" to me, (though at given moments it most certainly ...IS ^_^)...

Will you be able to QUOTE me "saying" (prior to this post), that FARTING is "SO FUNNY"? ...Naw... you have been unable to substanciate ANYTHING you claim... why should this be any different?

Rather amidst your habitually FALSE reporting, ...do your exaggerations of what I say... get the same FALSE "treatment" that you give to the sacred WORD and your (MIS)REPRESENTATION of LOVE, which IS, ...YHVH God...

Failing to KNOW LOVE, or show it to others, yet EXPECTING it from them!


SECOND --- Actually, "farting" is often a humourous event, and it is quite unfortunate that in your prudish observation of it, ...you are missing out on the humor and the chance to smile, instead of living within your religious frowning on a 24/7 basis, ...which frowning is contained each of your posts...

This manifestation of "farting" is a common humility shared by ALL humans. I do not care HOW "good looking" you are, ...or how old or young you are, ...or what sex you are, ...or how much money you have, ...or what social position you occupy...

ALL have the SAME human body, which, on occasion (sometimes inopportune) ...FARTS! ^_^ ^_^


gradyll said:
You should take time to really meditate and pray about this. (note I did not call you childish, as you did to me repeatedly). Self control is a fruit of the spirit too willie.


FIRST --- As far as you being "childish"... can you not see this within your post? Making a BIG DEAL out of "farting"? ^_^ ...Instead of letting it go in one ear and out the other by "turning the other cheek", you instead, FOCUS upon it!


SECOND --- You have hardly LED BY EXAMPLE ("by turning the other cheek") in this discussion... so why should I HEED your ANY of your advice gradyll?

Please name to me the Scripture which SAYS -- "THOU SHALL NOT LAUGH at FARTING"... ^_^ ...And while you are at it...

Please name the verse in Scripture which SAYS -- "Those who possess "SELF CONTROL, will not LAUGH at FARTING" ^_^

Why not RELAX once & awhile? ...and ENJOY life gradyll?

Taking a moment here & there to observe the opportunities that HUMOUR provides in its varying manifestations, to be a blessing from GOD, ...amidst the TURMOIL, HARDSHIP and SUFFERING, of this... the "LAKE of FIRE and BRIMSTONE" ;)

Continuing to wish you His LOVE and PEACE bro... :groupray:


...willieH :hug:

enough talk of farting, yes we fart, no it's not funny, and no it's not God's will to speek of these things. We should really get back on topic (willie).

Hear the word of God

James 1:26
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. - King James Version

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. - King James Version


Matthew 12:36-37
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. - King James Version
- King James Version

Titus 2:5-85
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
- King James Version
