  • 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.

Temptation 101

Consider what the Tempter did with Jesus in the desert. Need it do any more than that with us?

If man has not put God's will first (stones to bread), put God to the test (throw Himself down), desire what the world has to offer (thus worship the adversary), then they have already failed and may continue to do so, unless there is change/repentance.
What man has not put self ahead of another, tested God by bargaining with Him (promise change if God does something for us), or gotten involved in the ways of mankind (especially the governance of man)? We are too easily fooled into thinking this world comes first.
