  • 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.

    Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." 16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God...

    Scriptures on Salvation

    There are some people that say baptism is necessary for salvation. I know this is a controversial issue and I'm not sure if I believe it myself: John 3:5 "Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit." 1 Peter 3:20-22...

    I fear it's getting too physical.. Please help!

    "Live together as roomates/lovers,with the option of seeing other people," I recommend against both. A married friend of mine lived with people before marriage and she is of the opinion that moving in together can cheapen the whole relationship. She put it: "Why buy the cow when you get the...

    Courting...what does it mean?!?

    Hi, I'm Scott and I would like to share some of the things that have been going on in my life in the past few months. I used to be of the "friends first" philosophy, but now I'm of the "God first" philosophy. Here is why: A few months ago I wrote down a five areas of my life that I wanted...

    HOW do i pray for the right guy?

    I hope by "right guy" you mean someone who you will eventually marry. Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." If you are ready to begin a relationship with the person you will eventually marry, delight yourself in the Lord and you...
