  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Affront

If humans continually thrive on their own wisdom and self-reliance and pride, why do they claim to follow God? Self-reliance is idolatry. We want for ourselves, not only salvation, but recognition and a sense of worthiness. We proclaim God, but fail to follow Him. We falsely claim our schemes and personal self-serving accomplishments within the system of man as gifts from God. Users of God as a means to an end, rather than letting God direct us, not only for His own uses, but the welfare of others. People wonder who the Antichrist will be, yet all they have to do is turn on their media and see it in action in their daily lives and the system that we have built. They even partake in it themselves without considering that there is separation between the ways of man and of God, all while seeking the best of both worlds. There can be only one path. This isn't a trade-off.
