• 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.

It is in fact done in Islamic countries today. But, you are up in arms over Christianity, barely a word about Islam. hmmmm.
What on earth was that about? This is a Christian forum and we are talking to Christians about what Christians think about gay people. Want a comment about Islam and gay people? Go here: Home - Islamic Forum for Australian Muslims

Anyone on that forum who quoted the Quran saying that gay people deserved death and agreed with it would be treated exactly the same as a Christian who did the same. With contempt.

And yes, the death penalty was for certain sins. But all had punishment. It is why Israel has been in Exile.
This is Christian Forums, not Muslim Forums. Let any Muslim here come to the defense of their homophobic laws if they would.

The question here is whether you believe homosexuality is such a bad thing that it is or ever was worth killing someone for being gay. My answer is simply no. Why isn’t yours?

Don't get it? Yes, it's a Christian forum. And we Christian are being spoken to as if we are as Islam. As If there were no difference. Why are you complaining about that. We obviously are not.

Would you call out any Muslim that quoted the Quran and said they agreed with it that gay people deserve death? I'd like to think that any civilised person would. Don't expect to be treated any differently.

Yes, Christians are not the same as Islam. Why then are you speaking as though we are?

How am I doing that? From my perspective it seems I’m asking very easy questions and I’m not getting straight answers.

Don't be trite. You'd do well to address the problem rather than hiding behind what you claim others think of Christianity. There are huge numbers of Christians on this forum who show compassion and understanding and who argue their positions clearly and coherently without needing to resort to language such as that.

It's not trite, it is all over your post. Smug disregard.

We have parents being called terrorists by our government for exposing their kids to what they consider por no graphic materials in schools. Just the other day parents showed up for a school board meeting, after 40 % quit sending their kids to class because of what they were teaching. They go to the meeting, Antifa shows up. Physical attacks. You could see on video one atifa member being pulled away by a cop. As he escorts him away, from his attack on someone, He passed another parent on the ground, and kicks him as he goes by. Nothing from you guys here. You think they deserve that? Do you think our kids (our kids not the states), deserve this? You're dripping disdain.

I’m aware, it’s just interesting you won’t say in your own words that gay people deserve to be killed. You will agree with a Bible verse to that effect because you have decided you cannot disagree with any part of the Bible, but you cannot bring yourself to express a Biblical declaration as your own opinion. I think you don’t really agree with it, but your own moral and intellectual cowardice will never allow you to confront that incongruence. How tedious.
Your line of reasoning here reminds me of when gangs of BLM rioters would go into public places and harass customers by getting up in their face and screaming, "Hold up your fist and yell 'black lives matter!'"

You think I shouldn't complain that people agree that gays deserve death? Seriously? I should let that simply drift off and shrug my shoulders and give it a pass because, hey - it was a bible quote? Maybe I shouldn't treat it like it's a big deal that someone says that some of my friends and family deserve to die.

You think?
Or you can continue losing sleep over what some random person on the internet posted half a world away.

Your call.

My call is to respond appropriately to posts that specifically propose that gay people deserve death. Whether the quotes are from the bible, the Quran or any other religious text.

Your deflection only demonstrates my point.
