  • 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.

    Christians should condemn both Israel and Hamas.

    I appreciate your point of view that we are not obligated to support, "kings of other nations," I happen to agree. Obviously, Israel is not my country, I take it it's not yours either, but what I disagree with is the idea that we should treat Israel like some other random state of government...

    Christians should condemn both Israel and Hamas.

    I think there's a lot of truth to that. I think you're right that faith shouldn't become a ritual or this legalistic charade. I can relate to trying to obey to the letter of the law. An obsessive kind of anxiety. When we surrender to Jesus, we should let Him change us, but that change has to...

    Christians should condemn both Israel and Hamas.

    I mean, 2 Timothy 3:16 pretty clearly states that all scripture is God-breathed and useful. Romans 6 speaks to the being apart from the law, and yet not going on in sin because to serve (be a slave of) God is to obey Him. Romans 3 speaks to being apart from the law through God's grace, and yet...

    Christians should condemn both Israel and Hamas.

    Yes, and that's a good argument. My point is that Jesus has not replaced Mosaic law, He has fulfilled it (Matt 5:17), God has not somehow changed His worldview or His stance on any given topic. The point of Jesus refining, "an eye for an eye," to, "turn the other cheek," was not because He got...

    Christians should condemn both Israel and Hamas.

    That's an interesting statement. We follow an unchanging God, and though there are ritualistic and strictly Jewish traditions in the OT, God and His character have not changed. This was a very cheap way of writing off the reality that God is not anti-war, but I believe when war is appropriate...

    UFO's - Biblical?

    I think in a day and age every inch almost of world soil is covered with people ready to film at any given prompt, we'd KNOW if there were aliens. The demon thing I'm not sure. Demons are real, the Bible does present them as able to manifest physically (in people), so I think probably it's...

    I am addicted to porn. Its time I face it.

    Hello Harley. My name is Aiden. I know what it's like to struggle with porn, and I don't know if you've already resolved this in your life, but I'd like to encourage you if I can. You're not alone, and it was a good first step reaching out. I don't have the antidote for porn addiction, I wish I...
