  • 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.

    Arctic, you wrote: "I am currently in training to take a job as an EMT so I have that class, school, the EMT internship, and a regular job. So needless to say, I don't have time to attend a church right at the moment." I mean no disrespect but you need to reconsider your priorities. School...

    Help with praying out loud

    Both verbal and silent prayers are legitimate. Don't let anybody discourage you from praying out loud in the public. That's why the prayers of other people are recorded in the bible - for the edification of other believers. I've found it helpful to study Paul's prayers such as this one in...

    Fear of prayer...?

    To DubWarrior2006 I stumbled upon your post from a Google search I was doing while looking for information on Robert McLaughlin and Grace Bible Church. (See Holderz comments in this thread). Your lucid writing style and sincerity prompted me to register here at Christian Forums so I could share...
