  • 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.

So, which definition of "sin" did Christ die for?
Whatever His word says is sin, not what the world calls sin. There is no healing for sin if we embrace the world's definition.

Isaiah 3:9
The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

You have no problems quoting Isaiah. Now start quoting Jesus. What does "his word" call sin?

Is it, though? We only have the claims of the Bible.

There is no other evidence that ‘sin’ is a true thing (in the metaphysical way of speaking).

I don't adhere to the HIV (Hollywood International Version). You can, but I'll stick with the bible that was on my Grandpa's coffee table. The one that says The Lord Jesus Christ is the only answer for sin.

Nah, atheism isn’t very ecumenical.
No, your religion is an antichrist religion.

1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3
and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

2 John 1:7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

What is your protest anyhow?
You talk about "sin" - what is, and what isn't. You lament that people consider "what the world says is sin, but not what Jesus says is sin".

So, what does Jesus say is sin, in contrast to "the world"?

So you don't think homosexuality is a sin?
What did Jesus say about homosexuality?

Let me help you out since you keep dancing around the truth. Homosexuality is a sin. And changing this FACT to fit the world's definition of sin is a sin in itself. Jesus is the Word, so changing any definition of His Word is defying Christ.

Why didn’t you be more clear in your op instead of vague finger pointing? Nothing you said even made sense
What part is so confusing? What sin did you think I was referring to when the scripture says "they parade their sin like Sodom"? I think it's pretty clear. Sodom was known for homosexuality so the sin I'm referring to is homosexuality. This is the sin that many ecumenical Christians are conforming to and are no longer calling sin. I was simply stating this sin is still sin no matter how popular it becomes. Maybe the term "ecumenical" threw you off? Well, I gave the definition to ecumenical in post #4 along with more detail about what it means to turn your back on God's definition of sin. Did you not read post #4? Is that confusing as well, or maybe it offends you?

A sin that seems to be getting a free pass by many in the ecumenical church of today. But no matter how many Christians conform to this sin or ANY sin. Sin is still sin no matter how popular it becomes.

Isaiah 3:9
The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

That churches are succumbing to social pressure is lamentable.
Yes, you are correct. And also, Satan doesn't like it when call sin sin. Especially those he has deceived the world in to accepting as "normal". He uses this conformity to destroy even more lives. He knows if you call sin what it is, than that means there's a cure! "and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will SAVE His people from their sins".

Matthew 1:21
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

Yeah, you can do that but where is the evidence for the Bible’s assertion that sin is real?

When conformity is king, the offense the cross has been vacated for the deceitful, corrupt, and fleeting carnal wisdom of man. Because only through Christ Crucified do we find Christ the power and wisdom of God.
Except Christianity preaches its own conformity and obedience, just on a fringe idea that this deity supposedly cannot be questioned or tested, but knows what is best and any opposition is fruitless, because God is sovereign. In a shorter expression, it's "might makes right" or divine command theory

So you don't think homosexuality is a sin?
That seems like a leading question, given the forums' general rules on promotion. Me saying it isn't can be construed as such, so you're basically just trying to set me up to be punished because you know no one can directly disagree with your statement, as the orthodox rule in the forums on that and other LBGTQ issues

Just reasserting your point doesn't make it true, you're not substantiating anything, it's all your conviction with no basis beyond that for why we should take the claims seriously. Your fundamentalist attitude also isn't helping, it's terribly intransigent
