  • 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.

If one were to read the Word of God carefully they would find that there is a "final judgement". And that the "final judgement" is the time when God sends evil to "Everlasting Hell". This final judgement comes into play after the one thousand year reign of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and after Satan is then turned loose for a little bit of time.

Those that are passing judgement on others and condemning these others to ever lasting Hell are a bit premature in their judgement. Because we have not yet entered into the one thousand year reign of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and we as true Christians are all still waiting for His return. Oh and this, "only Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior can read the names of those that are written in the Book of Life." No today's Christian can do this.

love,

Any "Christian Fellowship" can ask you to leave their fellowship because they consider/feel that you are disruptive. But no true Christian can claim that you are going to "Ever Lasting Hell." That is not scripture. Only Jesus our "Lord and Savior" knows who is actually written in the Book of Life. Ok? :) And who the some folks are, that are not :) . In the end it is only Father God's reality, it is just that His Son knows about it.

Anybody ?

Absolutely right, tucker. And not only are they premature, they're wrong. As Matthew 25:31-46 teaches us, heaven is for those who do good works, and neither the evil that they have done nor the faith they have held is counted for them or against them. I'm so glad someone brought this up.

I love you Nihilist! Anywho :) I think Scripture says something about, "You work miracles in My Name and I know you not!"

There are folks out there claiming that there are Christians out there that are working witchcraft and using the name of Jesus Christ as a magic word :) !

The funny thing is that I have met them and I am inclined to think that this is real. And also what is funny is that only Christians can supervise Christianity, if we assume that there is a problem. :) .

Love you!

Yeah, you've walked into the wrong forum. This is the philosophy forum, not Christian theology.

But tucker, as we just said, the Last Judgment in Matthew doesn't take one's faith into account! God spares christians and atheists alike, as long as they do good works! If you would criticize others for premature judgment, then you must be careful to avoid the same! For don't you know that the measure by which you judge others will be the measure by which God judges you?

The whole thing is very tricky :) isn't Nihilist!

What is interesting about judging others is that it also has to do with our normal everyday lives and how we interact with other people whether we are actually Christian or not. To bring this back to "philosophy" we as humans are inclined to judge and religion is just one area where this inclination is brought into play. We can talk about judging others in a philosophical way (its affect on the social situation) all we want to, but in the end nobody is going to change. :)

And everything about "I believe" no matter what your reason is, is "philosophy". Otherwise it is "fact" and becomes science. "I believe", because the Bible seems to say it, that everlasting judgement is up to God, with the understanding that the whole concept of God is a "philosophical" argument. :)

That a mod would move your OP is a very good assumption; however, for whatever reasons sometimes they don't. And it isn't a matter of violating any posting protocols, but that you're less apt to get good responses here than in one of the theology forums. In any case, nice to see you around. :thumbsup:
