  • 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.

My point, LittleNipper, is that by your own words you admit that you find the command to "Love your neighbor as yourself" as well as all the other commands to charity that Christ gave in the Gospels mean very little to you. Jesus says you do NOT have a choice as to whom you give charity to - you are commanded to be charitable to all, even your enemies, whether you really wish it or not.

Read it again, LittleNipper. You've pretty much missed the point of the central commandment of the Gospels.
I agree.

LittleNipper: you shouldn't go on about "rainy day friends" and such when you have just admitted to only loving your neighbor under certain conditions.

There is an old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you." This has to do with imagination. If a person is not constantly hit in the face with SEX, he/she will develope other more important interests and sex will find its appropriate place. From little up, if you are going to nag on SEX and trying this and trying that, most people will not try it. Perfect example: Tattoos----how many had them until they became "popular." They didn't become popular until friends, relatives, and co-workers began to copy a few movie/TV idols. Prior to that only old marines and sailors had them hidden under their shirts.

Homosexual, homosexual, homosexual. Keep spotlighting it and it becomes the "norm" or the thing to try on a bet. Get hooked and instant homosexual. "Oh, oh, I always thought I was different." Yes, and so did everyone else ...
So you're saying the more homosexuality becomes the "norm" the more people who will become homosexual? whaa?

GOD speaks to individuals and to nations who listen to HIM ---- but not when they listen selectively. And BIBLE is a manual for me and you to live by ----- it isn't to be used for you to tell me how you wish to spend the money GOD gave me. Use your own. Donate it the way you wish, and will have no argument from me

Try it you'll like it. That is exactly how advertisments work----is it not?
Well...I haven't seen any advertisements for turning yourself gay lately but hey!

No, I'm afraid that is not how people turn gay. Why would a straight person who was attracted to the opposite sex decide decide to 'become'' gay? Makes no sense. Even if they did experiment, chances are they wouldn't like it. Ya know...because they're not gay..

I must conclude, then, that God has not spoken to you.

Since when is love an advertisement? If I ever do make the ultimate commitment to anyone, of either gender, we'll do it out of love for each-other. I will never allow myself or anyone I love to be made into an example for the reference of others.

You know, I passed a CSD-parade recently. I wonder if I've caught "the Gay". What are the symptoms?
Horns will grow from your head. Also, depending on what gender you are , you wil have Madonna, Kylie Minogue, or of course, music from the musical "Wicked" stuck in your head.. or the Indigo Girls. Also, every other stereotype that you can think of will become you! ;)

Your wrists will go limp and you will suddenly become really, really, really faaaaaaaaabulous.

Oh wait, you're a woman, so gratuitous amounts of hair will sprout all over your chin, legs, and underarms, and you'll get kinda chubby, and have the overwhelming urge to burn your bra and shave your head.

You are totally missing what I'm saying. Non- christians have no right to tell christians how a christin should live, unless they agree to live by the same rules.
