  • 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.

The real question is when sciences deceptions are show to be the deceptions they are. Will Christian's finally believe in God;s true creation or just like Israel's rejecting the Messiah when He came to earth.
The real question is, why are you writing such ridiculous, and slanderous, words? Why are you implying that Christians don't believe in God's creation?
Genesis 1 says that God created the heavens and the earth
Psalm 19:1 says that the heavens proclaim the glory of God.
Psalm 24:1 says that the earth is the Lord's and everything in it.
John 1:1-3 says that all things were created through the Word, Jesus. There is nothing that was not created by/through him.
Colossians 1:15-16 says that all things were created through him.
Hebrews 1:1-2 says that God made the universe, and all things, through Jesus.

You seem to be saying/implying that Christians who say that the earth is a globe, don't believe this.
Utter nonsense.
And don't even think of saying that we reject Jesus because we don't believe your flat earth fantasies.

This is not calling you a liar.
Yes it is.
My statement was "I believe the earth is a globe and I believe Genesis 1."
Your reply; "you can't do." IOW, you don't accept my statement.
But I do. I didn't write the wrong thing or make a mistake. I'm telling you, I believe Genesis 1 and that the earth is a globe. It's perfectly possible to believe both..
This is not calling you a liar.
Not in so many words.
But I believe the testimony of someone who walked on the moon. I believe the photos which you say are fake. I believe the books, articles and so on that you have dismissed as hearsay. I believe that all the things which you say are lies, are true.

It's interesting that you're pulling me up on the use of the word "liar" when you do the same thing.
You have said that Charles Duke, and the other astronauts who walked on the moon are liars. You haven't proved they lied, all you've shown is that you don't believe their eyewitness accounts.

Two National Guard soldiers shot in Washington DC

Your mentality is that troops should not be deployed if it puts them in danger of being shot.
No. Their deployment shouldn't be frivolous. The National Guard are not law enforcement and they aren't on a law enforcement assignment. They've needlessly been put at risk for the president's authoritarian theatre.

How Can People Get Confused with Christianity and Nazism?

@David Lamb I did consulted poe.com and used it to come up with the post.

What comes of a person who comes out from a Christian family, but abandon any religious faith? And how is it so easy to get confused on what that is? What make certain type of people get 'drawn' into Nazi ideology?
But coming from a Christian family, but getting drawn into Nazi ideology, doesn't mean that the person is confusing Christianity with Naziism.

Free Energy & Tartaria

Those are definitely not your own words.
No they are not Apple Sky's own words, as I found them on this Australian website: Nikola Tesla dreamed of free electricity; what happened? Unfortunately, Apple Sky has done what she often does - quoted somebody else without indicating that the words are not her own.

How Can People Get Confused with Christianity and Nazism?

I've been thinking about the stark contrast between Christianity and Nazism, yet I've noticed that some people seem to conflate the two. One promotes love, forgiveness, and humility, while the other is rooted in hatred, domination, and prejudice.

Context: One prays, the other preys.

How is it possible for individuals to draw parallels between these two ideologies? Could it be due to historical misinterpretations, propaganda, or a misunderstanding of faith itself? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this confusing juxtaposition.

  • What examples can you share that highlight these misconceptions?
  • How can we better educate others on the true message of Christianity in light of such conflation?
  • What role do you think social media plays in perpetuating these misunderstandings?
Looking forward to a thoughtful discussion!

I must say that I have never heard or read anybody conflating biblical Christianity with Naziism. I imagine you must have come across such a conflation, or you wouldn't have written your post. How did the sources) you saw conflate the two?

Church is boring

I haven’t been going to church in a while. I feel like it’s boring. I find myself daydreaming and the sermons are good, but I really don’t like to sing or stand up. I like just saying prayers and even though the sermons are good, I don’t feel like going. I’m not really getting anything out of the Bible study, either, which is online. When I do go to church, I do tithe.
Am I falling away or is this not the right church for me? The people are nice.
I think it's because with most churches we are receiving men's word over God's word. I just don't see the point in personal sermons written by men. I want my church to strictly stick to teaching God's Word.

Fellowship is fine with like minded believers but I guess it depends on the reason you want to go.

There is.

King James Bible
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1 Timothy 6:20.
But the word translated "science" in the KJV is the Greek word "gnosis," which means "knowledge." Indeed, in 28 of the 29 times it occurs, it is translated "knowledge" in the KJV. Gnosis does not refer to what we call science - Physics, biology, chemistry and so on.

Besides, the verse you quote does not say that all knowledge is wrong, just that some knowledge is false knowledge. Often the Greek word gnosis is used in a good way. For example, in Simeon' song:

“76 “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, 77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,” (Lu 1:76-77 NKJV)

A healing poem

Based on 1 Corin 11

1 Corinthians 11:28-30 KJV
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Yes, but JW's still refuse blood transfusions.
Sorry but I think you must have misunderstood me. I know that Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions. All I was saying was that they do so, not because of a bible command, but because they misinterpret what the bible says about eating blood.
