  • 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.

Ricky Martin, Christian?

I went to a K-LOVE concert last week and I could swear that Ricky Martin was doing backup vocals for Rebecca St. James, though he never made a public introduction and he never stole the spotlight. Any word on this?

P.S. not really sure where to post this...

I don't think Ricky Martin has come ever come out and said he was gay. From a marketing perspective, that would be a disaster.
I was up near the front row at the concert, so I had a pretty good view. The dude was wearing this wide leather wristband... I recognized it later in pictures. I just think it would be really cool if he was doing this and being completely humble about it.

ok all this is speculation...we really don't know if it's RM and we don't know if he's gay either...other men could have a similar wrist band and unless he told you he was gay or seen it with your eyes we can't assume...

well for one... Ricky Martin is not gay because doesn't He have a girlfriend...??? but besides that point we don't own anybody to have us and give us right to judge others... for one... we don't want other to judge us.

Leviticus 19:15Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
or in other words...
'Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the LORD. 'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. 'Do not go about spreading slander among your people.
" 'Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD.

Please, remember that the words that come out from our thoughts and mouth reflect our faith... and to those who may be new christians or non-christians... they see and hear this things... let's refrain from doing so that we on the other hand will be "judged" by others. Take note my friends...It is only God who will judge and settle disputes.
Penumbra's question was answered about Ricky Martin, but besides the question... let us not linger in gossip about the guy. He's a human being to, entitled to have feelings and be treated fairly.

As far as I know Ricky Martin is not a christian. If you are a christian, God begins to work in your life to bear good fruit and repentance. I highly doubt that promotion of seduction, multiple partners, unmarried sexuality, ect.. are evidence of the kingdom of God in his life.

Many of you say don't judge the person, but the person has already judged themselves to this point by his actions. If he would have become a christian in recent times, he would have publically refuted the message portrayed in his album and videos. (At least that would seem appropriate.)
