  • 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.

    Dilemma

    Life's hardships have such an effectual way of disconnecting us from either what we have learned through scripture about God, or keeping us from learning about God from scripture. I know this personally. I am so glad that Jesus didn't leave us in the dark concerning what living in this life...

    Family: Love Them, But Don't Like Them

    Is Anyone Here Dealing With Persecution From Family In Their Own Households?

    Thank you for responding. I know in my situation, like your own apparently with your brother who is a minister, the troubles seems to come from a spouse and other family members who claim to be Christian (I am not saying one way or the other whether they truly are of course), yet don't...

    Is Anyone Here Dealing With Persecution From Family In Their Own Households?

    Thanks for responding. I think the thing that stung me most was when my son said he didn't want to be like me (always reading a bible, talking about Jesus...) He likes the way the other family members live (all claim to be Christians) and doesn't understand why I am like I am. He says that I am...

    Is Anyone Here Dealing With Persecution From Family In Their Own Households?

    Are you getting any kind of flack from kids or spouses in the vain of what Jesus said concerning a person's enemies being those of his own household? If so, what does your situation look like? What form is it, or has it taken? I ask this because it's hard to admit that it may be happening...

    Need help for serious spiritual problems

    We should never lose sight of the truth that in Christ we have a great MERCIFUL High Priest who experienced all that we did in the flesh that He could sympathize with our weaknesses. Everytime you and I get into these kinds of spiritual ruts, it's always because we are looking at ourselves...

    Any Other Christians In A Lonely and Sexless Marriage?

    Thank you for responding again.... Well....I don't want to say she is or isn't a Christian because only God knows her heart. I know we are to know His by the fruit of course, but I will reserve whether or not she is to God. We were both "non-practicing Catholics" when we got married. I became...

    Any Other Christians In A Lonely and Sexless Marriage?

    Well, to answer your first question, I would have to explain what I mean when I say she isn't really married to me.... My wife, and I don't mean at all to speak evil of her here), has pursuits in life that are all personal, beginning with her career. It goes into her recreation, private life...
