• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

The daily thread.

...by the way, if i gets caught up in any contention today, throw sumthin' at me.

Did you guys get caught up in something and I didn't get to join in?

I know how you guys feel, some debates are worthless and I wonder why I participate.
I am in 2 right now.
One about God controlling everything and the other one about eternal security.

Debate is a road with many potholes.

Today is a

And it just made me want to sing

But, then I thought, didn't God make every day.
But, some days are fit for neither man nor beast. (That's me and my dog)
I know I should be able to sing that song regardless. But, someday's all I can sing

Which makes me think of this song.
The 2 best prayers I know, 1 is always apropos (bet you thought you would never hear that word in a song).

Yes, yesterday i was in mostly 2....one from an atheist who put a hypothetical out there about what if i found out God wasn't real or Who He said He was....

The other was heart-wrenching...it was about 23 month old Alfie Evans who died like 11 days before his 2nd birthday. His parents were prevented from taking him to Italy for alternative treatment.

This was ALL DAY, and i was tuckered.

:swoon:
