  • 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

i dont know if any of you guys have seen this before, i found it througha web site called the sceptics bible (its about trying to prove the bible wrong). but is a rendition of bible stories with lego men by a self styled reverend. its actully pretty shocking stuff, BEWARED.

ive never read the old testament all the way through, i find the language quite hard to digest, so i was wondering how accurate is it.
ive found what i think, is a subtle attempt to twist the truth/or its just a mistake in the acts. http://http://www.thebricktestament.com/acts/pauls_speech/ac20_07.html
correct me if im wrong but doesnt paul throw his arms around him and say hes not dead

We all need the ability to laugh at ourselves, and sometimes taking ourselves less seriously is one healthy solution to the problem of ego and an expression of humility.

We have to be careful however, of mockery of others and their beliefs, as well as mockery of the teachings of the Holy Spirit of the Most High and Living God.

Just some more thoughts on the Brick TEstament:

A lot of kids have tried it out and found it to be really fun and entertaining, while they were learning the basic bibilical stories. While there may be some 'suspect' content such as crude depictions of circumcision, the use of Lego in the first place removes most of the 'graphic' realism or possible shock value of any visual presentations. In fact this seems to be a rather good way to present some rather difficult biblical stories and make them accessable to children without undue problems or issues of 'rating'.
