• 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.

Is the Biblical Jesus Christ a man-made invention?

As the old testament and Jesus ptescribed I'm no happy clappy christian I believe in carrying a cross life is tough it's not all pleasure it's about hardship sacrifice making. Tough decisions everything I do I do for Jesus Christ not for vanity or plrasure

Pretty sure the Bible does.


I don't live in an Islamic state. I live in the US where most people are Christian. So I'll ask you a third time: How would you treat me and how would you encourage other Christians to treat me? Specifically?

justtifies a father leaving his wife and son behind. ... A character that needs to go to jail.
Would it have been better if he had left a book behind which records his promise that he should return soon to his wives and children, but then disappear for thousands of years? And, perhaps - if and when he might return - demand that they worship him or be slain before him before being relegated to eternal fire and sufferings?

Mhmm.

all I ask is for you respect that it's Christan values that earn you your freedom to be pagan.....

No, my freedoms come from secular law, which often times contradicts Christian tenants.
And what makes you think I'd be so happy to respect your values after your comments about treating others as enemies?

as a christian I despise bullies and would lay my life down in a heart beat to defenf the innocent in the name of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ

Have you considered referring to others as enemies and encouraging others to treat them as enemies without being specific is very bullying behavior?

Personally I think the evidence probably supports an itinerant preacher named Jesus existing but I don't think he was divine.


Luckily I don't live in an Islamic country, that's another Abrahamic religion with quite a violent streak. I live in a country with a strong basis in secularism which has allowed contrary ideas to flourish, sometimes to the ire of Christians.

God is love, God became a man, that man was light and love. How did we treat our visitor from above?

I don't worship Jesus as God. But in the same breath I think everyone of us is an activity of God and thus Divine.
