  • 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.

    Would you renounce Christianity under torture?

    Do all humans come from Africa?

    Sorry if this comes across harsh bit I feel this isn't edifying anymore: I leave xx “Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ 1 Timothy 1:4; Neither give heed to fables and...

    I think I badly screwed up this time.

    Braydeno. It is not about feelings. Tell God exactly what you wrote in your post. Read the words out - but direct them to God.

    Is it a sin to tell someone that they know nothing or that they are stupid?

    I think it depends on the reason you are saying it. I feel calling someone stupid for saying that there is no God may be justified - although I wouldn't call them stupid in front of them. If I was discussing a topic with my hubby and said 'people who say there is no God are being stupid'...
