  • 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.

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    Contrary to what the liberal government would have us believe, the Supreme Court of Canada did not say that same-sex marriage is necessary under the bill of rights, nor did they say that a heterosexual definition of marriage is discriminatory. They simply said that they could redefine marriage...

    Christian persecution in Egypt!

    I have been getting pretty upset with the anti-Christian attitudes that have been immerging here in Canada over the years, but this makes our problems seem so trivial. It really puts things into perspective. I will be praying for you and your country.

    Sorry Talie, I was a little confused about the wording of the spoilers rule. I'll give a bit of a warning next time.

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    I disagree with that. Everyone has religious beliefs (having no religious belief is still a religious belief), and everyones religious beliefs will influence the decisions that they make. So it doesn't matter if a politician is a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Atheist...(list goes on), the decisions...

    Wasn't he the first human to successfuly have a child with a Vulcan? I am a little out of the loop on this last season on Enterprise, but I think I remember something like that. Edit: Sorry, Just re read the question and saw that it was asking for two things... and I can't quite think of the...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    This I am not denying...I am simply saying that if you are going to share the story, then be sure to give more than just the one side of it. Too often we forget to do this.

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    Listen, I just wanted to appologise for the actions of many Christians. It is true that there are many harsh words in the Bible, and in a debate such as this, where both sides are passionate about their stand on the subject, it is easy to recite the harshness of the law (of God), while...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    Haha...Thanks. I truly believe that the reason that no one is able to make any ground, or even a good compromise is because too many people on both sides of the debate (not just limited to the ssm debate) are unwilling to listen to the concerns of the others. Instead, they would rather just...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    Although I am equally as outraged as you are about what is happening to such a sacred, and God sanctioned union, we must remember that not everybody believes in the God who we follow. As such it is impossible to gain any ground using that argument alone. There are, however, plenty of social...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    I really don't believe that this is about equality. This is, in the end, about what is best for the children of our nation. Besides what I mentioned in my previous post, there are many concerns regarding the effects that this will have on marriage as a whole. Studies have shown that in the other...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    Sorry, My Mistake... This is one of those subjects that frusterates me out of my mind. I was venting and neglected to re-read what I wrote. I think that main issue is the fact that marriage is, through out history, a religious (not unique to Christianity) institution. The only reason that the...

    Same sex marriage may very well be legal in Canada

    I am confused as to why the people of my country continue to elect a government that has been prooven, many times over, to be corupt. For those not from Canada, our Liberal government have, over the past few years, been involved in the sponsorship scandle, the gun registry (which was suppose to...

    I agree with Linnis. While the others do pilot on occasion (Not too sure about Naomi... though), They don't do it enough. Besides, it's what Paris does best.

    Alcohol and Christians

    Plus one (that I'm aware of) reference that actually recommend wine as a form of medicine. Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
