  • 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.

    Sad and Lonely

    I've been in and out of depression for awhile. I'm in a pretty bad marriage, I'm in at a dead end job, financially strapped and I don't have many friends. I feel like nobody cares even though I know God does. I made a song that kind of describes where I'm at emotionally. I'm not much of a...

    Pray that I let my walls down and develop real friendships

    I don't trust people and have a hard time letting people in. I know I need people and to develop real Christian community but if I'm honest I'm scared that they won't accept me or it will come back to bite me. Please pray that I meet more people I can let down my walls with. I wrote a song...

    Use our money for the Kingdom

    I definitely agree with a lot of what you are saying. We shouldn't operate in fear when it comes to our money and definitely give room for generosity. God should be first in our heart and if we disobey God in order to keep money that's definitely dangerous. I also think God does bless us when we...

    God's Not Mad?

    I definitely agree with the sentiment. Especially because the "anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God" James 1:20. Good thing God does not have the anger of man.

    God's Not Mad?

    Do you believe the bible is the word of God? If yes, What do you believe about all of the many verses that talks about God's anger and wrath in the old and new testament? (I have quoted a few of them already in this thread)

    God's Not Mad?

    In Romans 1:18 that interpretation works. However there are other verses where God is actively displaying his wrath against mankind. In most of Revelations God is pouring out his wrath and judgement on mankind. John 2:13-22 Jesus clears the temple with a whip Matthew 23 Jesus calls out...

    God's Not Mad?

    Instead of calling him dead wrong could you show him in scriptures why he is wrong. Because I don't see it. If we are really wrong I'm sure both of us would like to see why.

    God's Not Mad?

    Brother, I never said anything about uncontrolled anger. Also, there is a lot in the bible about God's "wrath" which is a stronger road the mad. It also says he is outraged as well . How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of...

    God's Not Mad?

    God is very patient, kind, loving, and merciful. But if God is slow to anger by it's very definition it means God does get angry.

    God's Not Mad?

    Numbers 11:33 "And the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people" Matthew 22:7 "The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city." The king is God in the parable John 3:36 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey...

    God's Not Mad?

    Christians often try to paint a picture of a God that is never angry because we don't want him to look bad or evil. I even hear a lot of preachers saying this. But the opposite is true, all of the evil that is going on in the world makes God mad because he is good. How could a good God not be...
