  • 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.

Some Are So Ignorant

Below is what I just copied from an Internet news article:

Miami Congressional Candidate Says She's Been on Alien Spacecraft
Miami Congressional Candidate Says She's Been on Alien Spacecraft she says
"I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe."

I, Greg Merrill, now continue.
This woman, "educated" enough to run for political office, claiming to be a Christian that believes in intelligent life because of billions of planets. Romans 1:22.
Problem with that position is that even if there are billions of billions of billions of planets, one usually assumes that life must have evolved on some of them just as it did here. Newsflash: Life DIDN'T evolve here. God created man! But then there are some Christians that will ask "Couldn't God have created life on other planets?" Yes, He could have; but most likely did not. We are too live in what we know, and what we know of God, not in the "would ifs" and "could haves". We are too live by what the Word of God tells us, not by what the unbelievers and the Christians that don't know the Word very well imagine or present to us with very little to substantiate it. Be on guard against what even the preacher might say from the pulpit. Be like the Bereans and search the scriptures to see if these things are so (Acts 17:11) and prove (test) all things, hold fast that which is good (accurate, correct, agreeing with the general body of Scripture) 1 Thessalonians 5:21. The devil is very active in these last days, continuing his work of deception.
