  • 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.

    Christliche Jugend hat es schwer

    Das ist so schoen und darum bist du auch gut herausgekommen :) Vaeter sind oft nicht genug "involved" (can't remember a german word for that.) Ich muss euch etwas wissen lassen, es ist schoen dass ihr fuer meine Tochter gebetet habt, vielleicht durch das sind in den letzten zwei Tagen noch...

    Back to the Future

    In the last couple of days, I have spent time thinking about the things you are saying here and in your other posts, and I've been looking at my own relationship with the Lord. I know that He talks to me (or to my spirit) and could quote specific things that He has told and/or revealed to me in...

    Christliche Jugend hat es schwer

    Danke fuer's Beten!:hug: Sk8joyful, das ist eine so wunderbare Geschichte, wie du Gott erkannt hast, obwohl man dir alle andere erzaehlt hat. Praise the Lord! Ich habe das alles vielleicht etwas unklar beschrieben. Also sie studiert eigentlich Polizeiwissenschaften (Police Science), aber im...

    Ordination of Women

    Michael, seeing that I myself are a woman, I would be pleased of you could convince me from the scriptures that Pastor Tim is wrong, but the first argument didn't do it. A prophetess is certainly not the same as a teacher or preacher, yes?

    Christliche Jugend hat es schwer

    Ich habe das erst im "Was machst du gerade" Thread getippt, aber vielleicht koennte man eine eigene Diskussion damit anfangen; Habe gerade mit meiner Tochter diskutiert. Sie nimmt and der Uni Religous Studies, und muss gerade all diese Hindu Goetter Namen lernen. Ihre Lehrerin ist Buddhistin...

    I love the Anabaptists

    Thank you for this post, Alfie. I'm happy to see some life on this forum :) , and it warms my heart that Anabaptists have been able to keep up a good reputation, as it seems. Now the term Anabaptist encompasses several groups, which I personally find unfortunate, but then I am not for...

    "discovering" one's spiritual gifts

    Something tells me that your pastor should be the very one to help you discover what your spiritual gift is. Put him on the spot, say,"Pastor, what do you think?" :) Have you tried asking in prayer? Just keep asking until you find an answer, even if it takes time. It would certainly be in God's...

    A Hard Call to Make

    Tman, I have only now found your posts and read with great interest. Did the Lord tell you to quit posting? If so, please tell us why. I ran into this quote out of your Bible study with Jesus thread: You have something that many are missing. Please do not quit speaking out, unless this is the...

    Okay somebody explain this to me...

    No that is not what I meant at all. Fasting is not a means of getting things, like a job. It is not a "method", but a physical expression of something that is going on inside. I'm talking about being so desperate for God, that even eating becomes secondary. Please don't take offense at this, but...

    Was machst du gerade?

    Ha ha, ja, davon hab ich auch oefter getraeumt. Meine Maedels haben sich immer so angestellt, dass ich's ihnen aus der Hand genommen habe. Die waren ja so viel smarter als ich... (eine ist nun ausgeflogen, die andere gerade wieder hier eingezogen) Bin nicht in der Kirche sondern zuhause...

    Okay somebody explain this to me...

    Hi, your post made me smile. I mean that in a good way, because you have so adequately described what fasting looks like for someone who is not familiar with it, and I know I too look crazy sometimes to the people around me. :) I doubt that I can convince you of the value of fasting in a few...
