  • 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.

    Trump 2016: We need a business man

    If only US governance was as shallow and "direct" as the statements that Trump make. Tell me: Should we support Trump because his success in the real estate market is measurable? Or is it because he is relatively wealthy and should be trusted because he is not persuaded by special interest...

    Rick Santorum vows to defy Supreme Court over SSM

    The context of this decision within the United States of American can not be bound by the church of Christ alone. The United States was founded on the freedom of religion despite how heavy it was leaning during the course of it's history. In short, constitutionally, the body of Christ has no...

    Donald Trump: Where's the outcry for Obama calling Mexicans "Gang-Bangers"?

    What should matter is that each argument or position that a group or person champion should be presented with contextual integrity. If a person professes Christianity then the burden to present any argument should be done with respect and honesty; the moral obligation to prevent the inclination...

    The Children of Hurin

    Hello friend - Just an FYI: Tolken was referencing a book that he started that would introduce another dark lord following the defeat of Sauron in the LOTR series. The Children of Hurin takes places thousands of years before the LOTR events take place. The Children of Hurin is a...

    The Children of Hurin

    I will post this willfully…5+ years after the creation of this post to say: The Children of Hurin is one of the better if not the best stories written by and through Tolkien that I have read. And I have read them all! … I just wish that it wasn’t a heart breaker.

    How Christians can stop the gay marriage?

    Very Good! We can all hate the sin (while communicating that the act is not God's well (with gentleness and respect) ). However, what's increasingly missing in the dialog is the bridge that respectfully offers safe discussions between Christians and homosexuals. The mostly likely and (in...
