  • 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.

    Gender Identity

    You are correct in that homosexuality is sin and that the Lord abhors sin. Lev 20:13 However you fail to mention the forgiveness that Jesus secured for those who devote themselves to serve and obey Him. Mar 8:34-38 Mar 14:22-24 Joh 15:5-10 Gal 1:3-5 Gal 2:20 Nobody except the Lord knows...

    Gender Identity

    That is fine with me.... I am not seeking to serve other Christians, I seek to serve Christ. When Jesus stated that He did not come to abolish Jewish law but to fulfill it He was shedding light on the purpose of the Jewish law: Bringing people into a relationship with Him. That is why...

    Gender Identity

    Let me also point out that the only portions of the Jewish law a follower of Christ must observe are obtaining from sexual immorality, not eating food sacrificed to idols, and not consuming blood. Act 21:25. All other parts of Old testament law are fulfilled through loving God and those around...

    Gender Identity

    No, the only thing that anyone that accepts Christ must do their best to obey His commandments and yield to Him. There is a code of conduct that followers of Christ must follow. However that code of conduct focuses on loving God with all of your heart, mind, and soul and loving others as...

    Gods View On Homosexuality

    You are correct: The LORD states that homosexuality is sin: act 15:20 1co 6:8-10 However I would say that sexual immorality was not their only sin. Another point I must make: Why do so many Christians point their finger at homosexuals. when any sexuality outside marriage is sin Mat...

    Gender Identity

    I thank you for your opinion, but it does not weaken my resolve to help those who are in need. It is not for me to determine whether TG's are right or attempt to mold them into anything. The regeneration I spoke of is done by the LORD not by me. I accept every person as a human being.

    Gender Identity

    Perhaps the best way to tell individuals about Christ is to live your life for Him. Many trans gendered individuals will not accept Christ as their Savior, but we should not turn away those who do. They are in desperate need of the Lord and the Holy Spirit is ready and able to reshape...

    Gender Identity

    That's the kicker.... It is difficult to reconcile transgender individuals with Christ. In part because of the judgmental philosophy many have and in part because it is a very difficult topic to address Scripturaly.

    Prayer For God's Favor in My Situation

    May the Lord bless you with a closer relationship with Him and take care of your physical needs. Seek Him first and all other things will be provided to you. (Mat 6:25-33)

    Gender Identity

    Romans 1 is about the peril of those who refuse to recognize the LORD as thier God and submit themselves to Him. The root cause of homosexual desires is the world's refusal to accept the LORD as God and be sanctified through His Son Jesus Christ. I would also attribute gender confusion to this...

    Thank you, but I have to give the credit to Jesus.... I would be an awful person without Him!

    Is Mary the mother of Jesus divine?

    Mary is no longer a virgin and none of Mary and Joseph's offspring holds any more significance than the rest of us in His eyes (Mat 12:46-50).

    National Go-Topless Day

    I do not agree with the idea of topless women walking down the street because such actions cause lust (sin) and destroy those who are week in their faith (as cited in my previous post). The irony is that the same society that seeks gender equality also ruins it through gross sensuality and over...

    National Go-Topless Day

    I second this as lusting over someone is sin (Mat 5:28) and disciples of Christ are obligated to concider the spiritual well-being of others (Rom 14:14-25).
