  • 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.

    Newer 'member' of the Methodist Church - Conflicted about church's conflict over gay marriage

    Hi all, I have been going to a Methodist church off and on for about a year now. I've never actually gotten involved because over the past several years, I've never committed to a church for a very long time. I've been figure out which denomination I think is the right one, and now I've gotten...

    Biblical support for this saying?

    I've seen a quote online, "Sometimes God doesn't change your situation because He is trying to change your heart", but I know there are things people believe which people say that aren't actually Biblical. Is there something in the Bible to support this case?

    Is anyone else frustrated? [moved from Controversial Christian Theology]

    I think besides trying to deal with each other, the division is also a stumbling block for non-believers. Some look at the bickering and dismiss the entire religion.

    Why do Christians have trouble with accepting Evolution?

    Extraneous, I've grown up around Christianity and have lived in a Deep South state for nearly 20 years, and I don't believe I've ever heard "Christians shouldn't debate anything but theology".
