  • 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.

    Thanks for the replies once again, just a few more things to note. I haven't came to a discussion with her about the religion part yet, but I did let her know today that I am christian and that our religious differences might not fit and cause a problem too. She was quite confused and didn't...

    I wish a speedy recovery for the injured and my frustration and anger are with the families of those who have lost their loved ones in this pointless, stupid mass murder. God bless you. God is with you anywhere you go. Amen.

    Messiah fullfilments

    Well, I really don't understand why the Jewish people are still waiting for a Messiah up to this day, not realizing he had already arrived. In fact, I went through much of it and Jesus does seem to have had what it takes to be the messiah when he was alive. All the requirements, etc. appear to...

    Well, I'll tell you guys what the reality is about this. Well, you see... when a non-US citizen who wants to visit the US to work there, obviously to do that legally he must have a valid work visa. However, if that person wants to visit and receive accomodation in the private home of a US...

    Protestants and Catholics

    Thanks @Paidiske and everyone else! I understand the main difference between the two, and based on what I understand from your information, I guess my beliefs tend to be more towards the Protestant side than the Catholic side. That's what I conclude based on what Paidiske and a few others have...

    Protestants and Catholics

    Well, up to this point I didn't really look into the matter much and I just considered myself to be on both sides equally. I didn't regard myself as protestant or catholic; just a supporter of both. But that's because I really never figured out which one to follow, because I don't really see the...

    Difference between Church and Synagogue

    Does the average church has all of these things? Are there like certain activites that all Churches have regardless of the type of church it is, etc.? I've no idea how these things are done, how long, in what order, etc. I hope you enjoyed your organized trip to Israel back in the day; what...

    Difference between Church and Synagogue

    Hahahah, @Paidiske, its okay - I don't need you to tell others for me what to focus on, just because of where I'm from. They can focus on whatever they see fit; I appreciate any advice or useful information anyways. And I have understood the differences between the two more or less. There are...

    Help from fellow christians or organizations regarding extended US stay

    I have found a different site already which hosts people in exchange for work around the house, etc. I am not exactly a backpacker though, I am pretty much like any other tourist who looks for a different accomodation payment method. Yeah, it's possible to travel for free if I book a lot of...
