  • 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.

    Overcoming Doubt as we Read God's Promises in the Bible?

    Do we allow some of our modes of reasoning to suppress faith from our lives? Why not ask God to help us find ways of countering doubts about the faithfulness of His promises?

    By Strength or by the Spirit?

    «Then he [the angel, Zechariah 4:1] said to me [the prophet Zechariah], "This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.

    Can Married Couples Be Restored?

    I am raising my heart in prayer on the behalf of all who struggle in their marital relationship, and might be tempted to adopt a despairing attitude. I pray God to use my testimony for providing some measure of hope to suffering couples: Can Married Couples be Restored?

    Traditional Theology Census

    I was born and raised in a Roman Catholic family in Quebec, Canada, in the 50's and 60's. It was while living in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta in the 70's, that my interest in reading the Bible was kindled, through non denominational and pentecostal Christians. Back to my home town in...

    I am looking for ways to develop some interactivity for my Word Press Web Site. Before I begin trying out with the WordPress bbPress Plug-in, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what would be a better way. A while back I was involved in a discussion about this, where I...

    I'm from the Philippines

    Thank you very much for answering my question. I personally think that this is a very sad pracitce, both humanly and spiritually speaking. As I understand Christianity, Christ died once for all to save anyone who believes in Him. We need to trust and obey Him, not to reenact his death in such...

    Making standard Web site available to smart phones

    I really do appreciate what you just said. Also I have began to get reports from other sources I asked to check my site with a smart phone, and what comes out from this is that the older version which I believed not to be behaving properly on smartphones is in fact better than the new version...

    Making standard Web site available to smart phones

    Until yesterday my Web site (www savoiretcroire ca) could not be read from a smart phone device, because the characters shrunk too much to be useful. It is a WordPress site built with the Twenty-Ten theme. I chose this older theme because it supports IE better than some of the most recent...

    I'm from the Philippines

    Do they actually use nails and damage the bodies of the persons crucified or is it as what I have heard from South America where they use ropes and do not as far as I know bodily hurt those taking part in such rituals ?

    Quelle langues parlez-vous?

    Felicitations... Congradulation... Felicidades... Vous dites parler l'une de ces langues comme une enfant. Au début, lorsque j'ai commencé à apprendre l'espagnol, je me permettais de n'utiliser que les verbes à l'infinitif, car je ne savais pas comment les conjuguer. Je combinais les...

    Hi Lev, I just sent you a friendship invitation through ChristianForums (CF). Let's keep in touch through reading each other's postings at CF.
