  • 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.

Yeah But...

Jesus was concerned about our overcoming self in this world in order to better understand the ways of the Kingdom. In following His commandments, we are unable to misuse the knowledge of good and evil, for in servitude there is no gain. That is the way of the Kingdom.

This is then why few follow the Gospel of the Kingdom, preferring another. Seriously! What of the things most people hold dear of this world/nation or within personal lives, revolves around no gain for self at the expense of others? No recourse but to self justify their means (be they good or evil) to achieve an end.
