  • 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.

    10 year old pregnant

    From a Christian perspective you can't really support abortion in any case. I mean once if God allowed it to be conceived who are you to kill that child?

    First Timothy 4:1-3

    Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats...

    Why is abstaining from sex such a bad thing in society nowadays?

    Christian love and charity clearly in action in the above post. You can't insult them or dislike them. You have to reach out to them, of course. You must love them but never their sins. The above poster is really a bad example of a Christian I'd say. Love thy neighbor was one of the most...

    What Makes Something Right or Wrong?

    If you don't believe in right and wrong, you forfeit your right to argue. Right and wrong do not exist. Therefore, you cannot argue, for when you argue for or against something, you argue that that thing is either right or wrong. Also 'there are no absolutes' is void of logic. Either there are...

    Do masons build?

    I've heard that Mennonites refuse to take judicial oaths (from one of their tracts). Supposedly you can choose to refuse to take an oath. Either way persecution is supposedly the natural result of True Christianity. A lot of Christians go behind verses to find different meanings. It's...

    Why is abstaining from sex such a bad thing in society nowadays?

    You're a Christian. A good judge of what's right and wrong is whether or not you'll be ridiculed by the majority of non-Christians by it. Granted, liking, let's say, X Band would get you ridiculed by people who like Y Band but if you don't like any non-Christian musicians whatsoever people would...

    Gender Equality. Who Should Be Submissive?

    @Hetta One in Christ does not equal One in the World. Also, you ignore all those 5 verses which tell women to submit to their husbands, which I have quoted time and time again. In Christ, and spiritually, there are neither men nor women, nor slave nor rich, but that by no means means that men...

    90% of Christians supposedly don't profess their faith

    On the one hand 'friendship evangelism' might work, but on the other what if it doesn't? Isn't it a big risk to put off preaching to someone so that you can get to know them better? I certainly don't think that's what Jesus would do. They might not live to see the morrow, after all.

    90% of Christians supposedly don't profess their faith

    How about people who don't feel they've done anything wrong and feel perfectly content with 'perfecting themselves'? I don't think simply preaching them Jesus' love would help them out at all. 'Sure, Jesus loves me! Sweet. He gave His life for me? Sweeter...' But they wouldn't appreciate it...

    I am starting to see feminism differently

    I've heard it said that wedding rings aren't acceptable, as well. No pearls or gold, after all. Who are we to compromise what the Bible says? Of course the heart matters, but what's in the heart should come out. If you have a modest heart, you should dress modestly. Of course if you can't...

    I am starting to see feminism differently

    I didn't say men were more modest by nature. The problem with dress nevertheless (regardless of the cause of the problem) lies more with women then with men. Yes, modesty is more than just appearance, but you can't say that there's more to an orange than just the flesh as an excuse to say that...

    I am starting to see feminism differently

    Outside of Church as well. The -young- women typically wear short skirts outside of Church (they sometimes wear worse shirts in Church than out) The men, regardless of them being in Church or out, are nearly always wearing pants. The only time I've seen them wearing shorts is 1) at basketball...

    I am starting to see feminism differently

    Regardless of whether or not you're right I don't see how it considerably changes my post. Nor does it have anything to do with the broader subject of Biblical modesty. It's quite revealing that you choose to pick out the word 'obsessed' instead of replying to my previous post.

    90% of Christians supposedly don't profess their faith

    Amen to Jimbo! I agree entirely. There's too much emphasis on 'God's Love' in modern Christianity and not enough emphasis on God's Righteousness and Justice.. If you simply tell a person that God loves them they won't be truly converted because they'll never know why that matters. They need to...

    Gender neutral bibles

    I would have to agree with WindBreath on this one, although I would like to note that while men and women are equal before the eyes of God, here on Earth men have been given more authority then women.
