  • 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.

Choices

Acting in servitude to God and to each other is a choice for both elohim and mankind, but a commandment of God. Both creations have the power to decide as both were created to perform duties under the authourity of God. For example, naming the animals in Genesis was part of the creative process (not to be confused with creation) we were made for. Call it artistic skill. Of course selfishness could result if we choose to serve self instead of all, accumulating whatever pleases the selfish eye. It is rampant in the world today and clearly seen in the various leaders who see themselves as alpha humans.

Although mankind now calls it (through self-justification) a lifestyle to strive for, it is the opposite of the ways of the Kingdom and how we were originally to have lived. We each have the personal choice to right our errant ways or carry on putting self over others for what we can get in this short life, but soon find it leads to a dead end, literally. If greed is your thing then go for it but don't complain when those you have oppressed in the process come out on top in the end while you are no more. Theft, adulterous relationships and taking of life, to name a few, are considered wrong for good reason. You've had your reward and are the creators of your own demise. There is no place for these in the Kingdom that will be established once the beta period is over.
