  • 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.

    Where do you draw your line? When is it ok to discriminate against homosexuals?

    Well sam your line of appeal for us to understand you will never work on a christian man. I would have a lot of trouble to determand which group I would give an adopted child to; a muslem or you. Either would cause me to loose sleep a night. Why? Because neither believes in Gods word...

    How to Study YOUR Bible

    I would add two more to your 'W's Where was the question or speach given and WHY? This fills in the back ground, ie why was a special place pick to give a sermon or why did some one ask a question ie: when the 12 want to know when the end would come and what would be the signs of christ coming...

    Can salvation be lost?

    If God chose you and you excepted, it stand to reason that you can not reject, down the road, something that you did not earn. If you truly believe that God Knows all, see all, then you will believe that this God does not offer to those who will reject. God will not play any games that...

    Would You Vote for a Female President?

    It would be hard for anyone to handle what we had to do to Japan in war II and you could make the case that Old Margaret would do the same as Truman did. BUT Margaret is from my world and I could lean towards what she may do as President. The world today has not produced a women that I would...

    God and the Flood

    I would have a real difficult time questioning God on the many WHYs?, Because u would have to start with why he loves us. The flood was brought on by angels haveing sex with women in the world, but since you do not take the bible at it word, there is really no where to...

    Would You Vote for a Female President?

    The problem here is that men don't play fair, because it is a word use by women to discrib unjust actions of a man. Fair is a concept hardly ever used by a man because MEN know that the word fair is really based on the feeeeeeelings of those useing the word. Fair is a womens...

    Does God answer the prayers of unbelievers?

    I not really there on what you said about an unbeliever praying for a friend, because of not having the Holy Spirit. Yes if it is in Gods plan to draw the unbeliver to Him, but just a pray for a friend does not leave the room. Not sure I am clear enough, so I am going to say this...

    Does God answer the prayers of unbelievers?

    My buddy intricatic; if God does not answer the prayer of a unbeliever, who would be saved? For and until you pray for forgiveness as a unbeliever, you will not receiver forgiveness an become a beliver. Now as far as just unbelivers prayers, I would say no, unless it was Gods plan to...
