  • 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.

    I hate what I am.

    I can ASSURE you, the opposite sex/socializing problems extend to ALL of us, brother. Your condition may make those more profound, but understand you're not alone. You were made in God's image, to His liking and for His exact purposes. That alone is a blessing - that you are as God wants you to...

    Fear vs. Love

    All wonderful posts, and I thank all of you for the time. Praise God for y'all....... However, it's phrases like these that trouble me: I have trouble taking that any other way....... are the sinner's future sins forgiven? Does any pre-meditated sin make me hellbound? Am I commanded to stop...

    Fear vs. Love

    Thanks, gang. Especially Lpe - much appreciated. Ya see, in terms of salvation, there are passages that make me extremely nervous. Like this one: 47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be...

    what's wrong with me?

    Dawn - I am in total shock reading your heart-pouring. You are describing my situation and mindset TO A T. It's almost eerie, LOL. When I first got saved, very little of the Bible made sense. But a little of it sunk in, especially this one: Lately, I've realized that I HAVE given a mustard...

    Bible study

    I've read Matthew in the past, but decided to start anew. I'm reading John right now, but very sporadically. Thanks for the reply :)

    Bible study

    I'm having a hard time plowing through the Book as I feel God is calling me to do. Many have told me "God just places a chapter on my heart, and I read it," but I've never felt that conviction. I truly don't feel it's an altruism; God speaks to some in that way under certan circumstances, but...

    Fear vs. Love

    I'm extraordinarily tired, so this will be shorter than I'd like......... but do you often find yourself far more tied up in fear of God than love for Him? I accept Christ as best I can. And I defend and love my God. But I've noticed that when I confess my sins (often deliberate, pre-meditated...

    Abortion scenario

    Odd........ I don't see the words "healthy," "competent," or "trimester" anywhere in that verse............

    Beck

    Beck is just outta this world. He's this generation's Bob Dylan. I agree, I think Guero is his best album. Mutations and Mellow Gold are phenomenal, though.

    Abortion scenario

    Then I certainly hope to see the entire pro-abortion movement marching the "legalize everything" picket line.

    Abortion scenario

    But wait! Isn't it my choice, and only my choice, whether or not I want to get addicted to heroin?

    Abortion scenario

    Since "her body, her choice" is the standard, then shouldn't heroin be legalized?
