  • 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.

    Confused about what the Bible says about healing..

    Although my post seems overall negative I'm sure, I would also encourage anyone seeking healing to trust God in faith, read the word and ask for the spirit of God to convict them of things like sin or unforgiveness that may still be in their lives. I do believe that God heals, I just think the...

    Confused about what the Bible says about healing..

    I actually re-read this post recently and felt it was overly negative and doubting towards God. I felt the need to delete it and repent for what I said. My apologies.
