• 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.

I have read the statement, I strongly disagree with particulars in the statement but I agree to abide by it. I am simply left wondering what is even spiritual about these gifts you have defined. In one particular case highly debated theology among mainstream Christians is being defined for all Christians here in order to participate in these forums. (Edit: I talked to Sojourner privately about my concerns over the definition of prophecy formerly used in the statement and he/she was very gracious in hearing me out)

Additionally, dividing the forums between overt gifts and gifts that are defined in such a way as to be indistinguishable from natural talent gives the impression that the forums are being divided between cessation and continuance. I hope that is not the case because the church needs less division not more. I have personally been blessed by the internal discussion and interaction of Christians who believe differently than me.

I do not object to your authority or right, but I pray you reconsider these changes and take what I have said into consideration.
