  • 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.

Battle Of Wills

Just as Jesus commanded near the end of the biblical era, God at the beginning of it told Adam and Eve to put His will before their own in telling them to avoid the tree of knowledge. His will before ours, the law given in the beginning and repeated near the end.

Putting His will first was not a power trip on His part, but rather a way to protect them simply because if they put their will first and ate of the tree, there would be consequences that He wished to protect them from. Protecting us from ourselves has always been His motive in telling us to put His will before our own.
