• 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.

Cursed is the heart of this people

The archtypical Pharisee is everywhere around us. It’s interesting that Christ did spend a good part of his ministry exposing these people, explaining their doom. And just like Abraham said, if they do not believe the words of Moses, neither will they believe if one rises from the dead.

They’re good at trying one’s patience and faith. Is that the only reason why they’re here?
This might be in the wrong sub fora. What does this have to do with Ethics and Morality?

Fortunately, none of these characteristics describe a Christian.
Not sure if that is always trues. Consider the current state of American Christian Nationalism.

Definitely Missouri.
There’s no Galata in Missouri.

All have fallen short of the glory of God.

Well, when you imagine God as being perfect falling short of that is a rather foregone conclusion. Therefore comparing oneself to God is a rather silly thing to do. Hence I make no attempt to do so. I'm simply content with accepting people as they are, myself included. For what it's worth, in my house everyone is welcome.

Yeah America has a lot of problems, such as stealing emblems, buildings from Caesar.
And leaving people who would be better off enslaved as free enfranchised citizens!

No one has been following that piece of paper since at least 1972.
Still no legal chattel slavery, guess the vile thirteenth amendment has held on somehow?
