  • 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.

Confused?

It depends what you want to believe in... Christianity has become so fragmented. The religion, at man's behest, wants you to believe all sorts of things man has self-determined. Jesus, on the other hand, made it clear we were to first seek the Kingdom. That found and you will understand. And He said one thing we were to do besides the two commandments... spread His only gospel, the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus chastised the priests of the day for keeping it from the people and the same has carried on until today. Clear up the clutter you have been taught, and what to believe and how to act, will become clear. Don't let the clutter pushers dissuade you. Its all about the Father and His Kingdom, NOT the world of man. It's not just about us, but about His battle with adversity since the beginning of creation, first in His realm, then here. Seek the big picture.

Matthew 6: 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 24: 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 23: 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
