  • 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.

    Age of miracles is over scripture refs?

    I appreciate all of the responses! The original question was asking for references in support of the point of view that miracles don't happen anymore. I think I understand that viewpoint better now so thank you! That is the kicker isn't it? People ask for irrefutable proof but even medical...

    Did Jesus ever pray for the sick?

    My dad has seen some healing and the way he "prays" is simply, "This healing belongs to me because of what Jesus has done." About the "exorcism" mentioned earlier... Think I heard him say that statistically 1/3 of Jesus' healing was deliverance.

    Trouble relating to NTs at church

    I told the leader everything yes. Although I should say the leader was a fill in guy. I told the actual singles pastor's husband a little bit but he's no expert and misunderstood. I'm trying to get myself to talk to him and his wife to go more indepth.

    Self-harming feelings: How do you cope?

    I generally just stare at my cell phone for hours thinking about calling someone but I never do. Think you're further along than me.

    Age of miracles is over scripture refs?

    I recently read a thread here in which that idea was presented. Miracles happened in the first century and don't happen now. I've also heard the idea passed around at my church before. Can you elaborate on the thought with scripture references? I'm just trying to understand the point of view. My...

    Trouble relating to NTs at church

    I've been effectively mute for about the last 15 years. After I was saved I started attending a local church and had been going to a small group bible study. Slowly I started to open up and try to contribute to the discussion. Because of depression and a poor self-image I sometimes say funny...

    generational curses

    I think the justification for generational curses is Deut 5:9 but reading it, it looks like its only talking about one sin, idolatry. Also, look at the promise in the next verse Deut 5:10. My personal view is that God isn't in the business of punishing his children like that. That was the...
