  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    1/3 of democrats believe it's racist to criticize a politician of color

    Amen. Every racist of every shade has an excuse for their racism. None of them are valid. I think so too. Only a third are willing to admit that's what they believe. The irony is, we really do have a racism problem in America. It's just not white racism.

    Then I would listen. Not because i'm of a certain race but because God wants me to. Hmm. Doesn't it depend on whether or not it really was silly, though? I mean aren't some conclusions just plain silly? Isn't it silly for some to feel non-whites can never correct them, regardless of what...

    Sentencing is not as exact a science as conviction. Sentencing is complicated. A lot of things are taken into account and it's those variables that we're now aware of. Therefore, in sentencing it's impossible to compare apples to apples. Yes, this will be used to mfr. racist charges, but it...

    Whether you're talking to racists, antisemites, etc., there are always excuses, excuses, excuses. But this but that, but this but that, etc. I say let's stop making excuses and follow Christ. All racism is evil. The idea that one person of a particular race can never question another person...

    On its own, in a vacuum yes. But context changes everything. There was just a migrant calling into Levine today, saying how he's told his fellow migrants who spew hatred against America that they should leave. He was a proud migrant who loved the country. He told them flat out, you hate this...

    LOL. Let's just say both Trump and MLK stumbled in many of the same areas, and leave it at that. Both were unfairly targeted by their government. Both falsely accused of sexual assault. Trump is definitely the worst treated politician in history. King was not a politician, but definitely...

    And just think about this response. It's okay because of how they're feeling. Really? That's the standard? It's okay to have a racist view against whites so long as it's based in feeling? And it's someone else responsibility to change how they feel? Sorry, that dog won't hunt. There is...

    No way. His niece loves Trump. And MLK was anti-illegal immigration. He and Trump would have loved each other. I know Trump loves MLK and honors him. How I wish MLK was alive today.

    I'm not seeing a whole lot of disagreement from democrats regarding this poll. It does appear a large percentage believe this. Wonder what MLK would say regarding this. His speech (I have a dream) was so inspirational, and just the opposite of what we're hearing today.

    I've never seen a Trump racist remark in the many decades I've followed him. I've seen a push to make him a racist by misquoting him, and editing comments. I have seen awful horrible antisemitic remarks by democrat lawmakers that just made me cringe.

    Church discipline against me. is this a Right? Letter from church attached.

    Mixed feelings. Should you be airing this out in public? Have you invited your Church leaders to comment on this in this forum and give their side? Have you invited your wife to give her side? Are you leaving anything important out? Yes, from your perspective, it looks bad. But, again, I...

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    Scripture wants us, not to listen to one another? This is definitely getting interesting. You admitted you didn't read my posts (even though you quoted them) and responded to different posts making irrelevant points. Now you say, Scripture is telling you to do this. Wow. You guys really are...

    The Evils of Cessationalism

    That makes sense. You were quoting me. Just not reading the actual quotes and making coherent responses to the arguments. But again, I don't think you're responding to cessationists, you're responding to things you've heard about cessationists. None of us will learning anything that way...
