  • 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.

    The Destruction of the Amalekites

    Think of God's orders and Amalek's role as the flesh as barring ahead of time any compromise or fudging on our part. Only the Spirit profits. Only His fruits are acceptable. Anything of the flesh, no matter how reasonable, well-intentioned, committee-approved or good-seeming is acceptbable to...

    Mentally ill and not sure what to do

    I struggle with mental illness every day. Life is hard often, and I am frequently stressed and depressive, but it could always be worse. He has gotten me a better job than I ever thought I could manage, but even that includes its struggles. In the end, these are questions beyond any of here...

    Christians and Marijuana

    I believe that recreational use of mind-altering drugs is prohibited. Ie: "Do not be drunk with wine.", etc. Messing with our brain's functioning via chemicals is just another fleshly diversion that can carry all sorts of destructive consequences. However, if I were in need of severe chronic...

    That about covers it. In a perfect world, this thread would be closed now.

    Praise God for a new career!

    Three weeks in, and He's blessing my family and I tremendously. The position is better than I had dared hope and the company shows all the sign of being healthy and well run. I like those I work with, the schedule is better than my old job, and it doesn't hur that the money is much better. I am...

    Belief: God was once a man

    The one eternal God became a man, for 33 years. He did not cease being God during this time. While here in a body, He came not to earn His own salvation through dead works, but to earn ours through His well-documented life and its deeds. Remember, satan said, "I will be like the Most High." and...

    Are you having a good day today?

    No. Am not. Temptation, spiritual warfare. Arguing with my wife about ridiculous things. Really contending. No name-calling, but not fun, nonetheless. God is still good. Days like this I wish He'd hurry back for me, tho.

    Praise God for a new career!

    I start Monday, March 9. He truly does do above and beyone all we could ask or think. Best part is, I have existed in my comfort zone and have operated in my natural strengths for the last quarter-century. But He found this position for me, and to succeed in it is beyond me. I will have to rely...

    did the most stupid thing today :(

    In the stupidiy hall of fame: Abraham, not once, but twice claiming that Sarah was his sister, because he was fearful of something that might happen because of her beauty. IIRC, Isaac learned this somehow and pulled the same stunt himself. What's really shameful for our heroes here, is that they...

    Films that are overrated in your opinion

    Inception. What a piece of junk. And with Leo? He was good in "Catch Me if you Can", but Inception???? Bleh.

    Praise God for a new career!

    The last few years have been tough in my field, and switching has been difficult due to a modest education, and my high-functioning-autistic nature that finds change very difficult. My arc in my career of the past 24 years is basically at an end due to changes in the business that have affected...

    Discussion With A Mormon

    But those accusations agains Christians were lies. The Mormon practices specified in this thread are for the most part true. Swing and a miss.....

    Discussion With A Mormon

    She might not know everything they believe. Remember that the LDS organization involves itself in your entire life. It is very controlling and they deliberately make it diffcult to leave. As much as I hate their lies and all the spritual evil that uses the LDS to control and enslave people, most...
