  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    I am a big fan of the public school system so i will say that first. My experience is that children do get the opportunity to hear about christ in school as long as there are re programs - I would love to see more christian parents take on the challenge of running RE in their childrens classes...

    leyswolf - as I mentioned earlier I think motivation is a big issues in churches at the moment that is great to hear. I know a few anglican missionaries and the are top quality people. I attend the Baptist church and I just wish the motivation was as strong as those in the anglican church.

    Christianity Australia

    In Melbourne in the primary schools I think it depends on which church group volunteers its time to help out and run RE. I know that at our school we have input from the salvation army and other evangelical churches in the area. So there is input - I just hope there can be more trainning for...

    Blessed one - one thing I genuinely believe in is the power of God and I honestly think if people do shop for religion and seek God with an open mind and pray to him they will know him and want to become a follower of christ. I wish everyone on the planet prayed to allah and our God and I know...

    What is morality?

    I think that being moral or immoral is based upon your fram or reference or concept of right or wrong. For me a wiccan is immoral in terms of a christian set of beliefs in that s/he is not acting as a christian should, but according to his/her own values she may well be m,oral because she is...

    I agree Injured soldier with what you say about many people being hurt by the church from preconcieved ideas this is true. In many ways it may be the best as I believe most if not all christians in australia and this will be more of a case in the future will be more "fair-dinkum" christians as...

    "Croc hunter" Steve Irwin - going to court?

    Nah I think Irwin is a complete turkey - ok he may have known what he was doing, but you can't be totally in control of the situation as you would be if the child wasn't there, so in that sense he is increasing the risk... besides to use your kids like this to raise your profile is pretty low...

    Christianity Australia

    I think its struggling to be honest - being a school teacher I can see the first generation of children who know nothing of christ coming through.... I hope things change but christians here need to be more proactive in their passion for christ - I think there is an apathy in some quarters of...
