  • 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.

    Nineveh still stands?

    "As I live," declares the Lord GOD, "Sodom, your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Thus they...

    Do Christian Believers Sin?

    Calling someone Lord is more than a title. It's reverence, honor and obedience. It implies ownership.

    Now’s the Time To End Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions

    Well unfortunately, if one lives in the United States and benefits from it, the blood is on their hands just as much as it is on the politicians.

    Do Christian Believers Sin?

    "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against...

    Do Christian Believers Sin?

    "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:8~10

    Now’s the Time To End Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions

    Mark, this is not an accurate statement. The National Guard is a volunteer force, they swear allegiance to the constitution and the officers appointed over them. They are not conscripts. “I, XXXXXXXX, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United...

    Now’s the Time To End Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions

    Maybe we should consider what the Lord said about taxes, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” Mark 12:17. Didn't Jesus also tell Peter to pay the temple tax so that they would not offend? Tax exemption is a privilege in the US not a God given...

    are there any Christians who dont believe in tatoos here

    This is just my opinion... I have multiple tattoos on my body from before my time as a Christian. The largest one is on my right arm/chest and was never finished. I made the decision not to finish it because it was a prideful thing I was doing by getting the tattoos in the first place. I find...

    Schizoid and faith?

    You should read the story where Jesus casts out Legion. The man begged Jesus to let him follow, but Jesus told him to go and tell his family all that God had done for him and how He had mercy on him! Like you, I have a difficult time going to church, so I try to seek out other people like me...
