  • 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

Hi, do you believe the verses below counts towards me saying that a metal band singing a song "Fallen angels" with lyrics like these: "We're bored to death in heaven And all alone in hell, We only want to be ourselves".

"Follow the morning star
(<<thats Lucifer), On a land when darkness failed, The passion left unholy, Now you found yourself, We have nowhere to go, no one to wish us well, A cry to find a home, our stories they will tell".

I just want to warn people, the band members use inverted cross tattoos and they don't call themselves satanic etc, which is logic, so people will keep listening to them. I myself don't really see any wrong in telling that this bad is bringing bad influence and message. They have a song called "God bless you" too.

&#8220;Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.&#8221; He also told them a parable: &#8220;Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"
-Luke 6:37-42

"Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?"
-James 4:11-12

Though (it is rumoured) Peter was crucified upside down, it might not be considered in itself anything bad.

But you can judge what another says

1Cr 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

And likewise...you can go...

Prov 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

2Cr 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Or stay :thumbsup:

LOL I couldnt resist

But hey, even though I personally dont listen to much radio examining the music of the latest bands out there. I wouldnt worry about a band too much, most of the time they are backround noise.

Make your own music

Ephes 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord:thumbsup:

God bless you
