  • 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.

    Guys, Would you date someone who's much younger than you?

    I don't know who thought of it but a guideline I've heard for a lower age limit for dating is "Age/2 + 7". So, I'm 34. 34/2 + 7 = 24. Unlikely that I'd date someone that young but I'd be open to it. Any younger would start to have the "weird factor"

    As a single person on a Friday night what do you find yourself doing?

    Lying on the couch watching cricket and having a couple of beers.

    Would you make a good girlfriend/boyfriend?

    Great question to ask. It's always good to take a good hard look at yourself. For me, I don't have time at the moment since I'm working full time and studying part-time. But the studying will be done in a few months. After that, I reckon initially I'd be a pretty rubbish boyfriend since I've...

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    Jesus...? I thought we'd see you coming in the clouds from heaven. I was expecting trumpets. I didn't think you'd disguise yourself as an atheist on an internet forum. :)

    Christian Girls vs Atheist Girls

    Acts 11:26 "...The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." So, if you're a disciple of Christ, you're a Christian.

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    But of course men are equally depraved as women, since the fall. And it was Adam that God was looking for after the fall because he was the head ("But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”" - Gen 3:9). Adam fell first by not protecting his wife. Where was he when the serpent was...

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    He's definitely controversial. But I think he really understands culture well and can connect God's word to people - especially youngish men who didn't grow up as Christians (which is me).

    Haha. Yep, he's certainly got a unique style. Love him!

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    Yep. Some guys will complain "my wife won't submit to me". But they should focus on what God has commanded THEM to do, i.e. love their wife like Christ loves the church, be more Christ-like, be a good leader, be a husband worthy of his wife's submission.

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    Moving into the inspiration of scripture is getting off topic a bit (and it looks like we disagree about that), but one's opinion on that topic is at the bottom of so many theological disputes, isn't it?

    men the 'decision makers' or 'leaders'

    As to what does submission look like. I don't know as I'm not married and I think it would look slightly different in each marriage. But I think it comes down to decision-making. On whatever the disputed issue is, after an appropriate amount of discussion where each party (husband and wife)...
