  • 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.

    Does God ever deceive us?

    If you ask for a sign from God, I really doubt he'd let the devil produce that sign, especially if it's something important. I'm too tired right now to look up some scripture to go along with this kind of thing, but I have had experiences with signs a few times (well, maybe more than a few, I...

    What would you do?

    Just be honest and tell them you cannot afford to pay for it out of your own pocket. Ask for the money in advance, or get a budget set up through the church so that you are able to get the food, coordinate, ect, using only the churches money and not dealing with using your own money. Prayer...

    Hurting people

    By now, there's probably too much in the way of you having any more personal spiritual effect on him... that is, without God. Remember to first go to God through prayer and reading what his word says. I would think the best way is to e-mail him or whatever, maybe even call if you feel...

    Hey everyone.

    Hi. :)

    A newbie here!

    Any of the four gospels is the best place to start. Reading all of them would be great. John, in my opinion, is the easiest to read, as well as it's the one written towards the gentile unbelievers, so that may be the best place to start. After that, pick any of the shorter letters. Stay away...

    Hey everyone.

    I normally don't post these kinds of intro things, and I've already started posting on the forums already... But I do have a few questions. How do blessings and rep work here, and what are they good for? I'm assuming blessings/rep come from other people, while blessings also increase per post...

    Question...

    Ah, yes, left that out. Questions are one of the best ways to learn, please don't feel guilty about asking. Jude 1:22-23 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by...

    Question...

    I've always held the opinion that the division, if you will, of races/nationalities happened at the tower of babel (Genesis 11). I'm no expert, but I've always assumed that after being "scattered them over the face of the whole earth" in whatever way, they adapted over time. They would have had...
