• 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.

No, the point of the film is that humanity is destroying the environment. Ho-hum.



This was not a scary movie.



No, it's almost like Hollywood was trying to sell popcorn to those foolish enough to think this might be a worthwhile remake of a classic film.



Light is a many-hued metaphor.

God is light.
God is love.
Light is electromagnetic radiation.
QED: God is electromagnetic radiation?

What's up with that?!

:confused:


Alas, if that were only true.

:sigh:
Perhaps you are unaware, but the Brightness of the Lord upon his final coming will be quite literal. Also, the brightness is actually the Glory of the Lord. There is a story in the Old Testament where Jesus shone down from Heaven upon Saul and asked him why are you persecuting me. As a result, Saul lost his vision for a while.

Bible said:
1 John 1:5 (NKJV)
Fellowship with Him and One Another

5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 (NKJV)
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Ezekiel 10:4 (NKJV)
4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.

Isaiah 60:19 (NKJV)
God the Glory of His People
19 “ The sun shall no longer be your light by day,
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the LORD will be to you an everlasting light,
And your God your glory.

Acts 9:1-9 (NKJV)
The Damascus Road: Saul Converted

1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.[a] It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Maybe so. We'll see. Or not.
Also, the brightness is actually the Glory of the Lord.
And the shortness is actually the glory of the pixy.
There is a story in the Old Testament where Jesus shone down from Heaven upon Saul and asked him why are you persecuting me. As a result, Saul lost his vision for a while.
I read that. I also read a story about a quarrel between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, which resulted in the fall of Troy.

And I have seen two movies called "The Day the Earth Stood Still". The theme of one was the stupidity of war. The theme of the other was the stupidity of environmental destruction. Neither had anything to do with Jesus.

This forum is about movies. If you want to preach, take it to another forum. Please! Maybe they will be impressed with how holy you are.

:wave:

I thought this was a Christian site, oh wait... yup, still is ;)

Still, this forum is open to non-Christians, so if you want to preach to the choir only, you ought to post in the "Christians Only" forums.

I love you bro :D

1. Perhaps you love the person you think I am.
2. Your love and $1.50 will buy a cup of coffee on Amtrak.
3. Thank you.

;)

Actually as there is a non-Christian section and also the option where you can change your religion it is also a site for Christians and non-Christians to converse.
