  • 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.

    Something I really don't understand...

    Well yea you probably could... but my wording was a bit off and I apologize... But that's what I meant.. some make the gifts their idol and not God Himself.

    Something I really don't understand...

    On regards to the Trinity view... God is existent in 3 persons, yet they are all in unity. The best way to think of it is this... God exists in 3 persons... the Father, the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit. All 3 of them work in unity and as One (meaning they all agree upon the same things...

    Cried my eyes out...

    As much as I'd like to say that experience gave me immunity to sin... it didn't... No experience can... we sin daily. All of us... none of us are perfect. I'll admit I have sinned since that night and today. But I know God's grace is sufficient for me and that daily I am being purged from...

    Something I really don't understand...

    Few people get what is being said but that's better than people bashing one another... *phew* But my point... too much emphasis is being placed on the Gifts... I do agree Oscarr that the gifts are a great help to the ministry of Christ but our problem is... that's not all there is... Which...

    Something I really don't understand...

    What bothers me the most is when people constantly talk about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is great... BUT I believe that you can make Him an idol over God. I do believe the Holy Spirit IS God but a separate person. It's like some people worship tongues or prophecy when...

    This Is Boring.

    Trish... I for one will miss you on the P/C forum. The thing is... sometimes people just wanna spread out their negativity and anger and force it onto others and then the rest of us get in a dump. But the thing is... we gotta know that just because we disagree with some things said doesn't...

    Cried my eyes out...

    Last night at church. Some people here know about my struggles and about certain issues that I have had. Well, in the past few day my brother & sister in law who I am living with found out about my struggles. I tried to hide it when my brother confronted me. When I told the truth little...

    questions about tongues

    *Miau* makes some great points and has provided good and biblical information. However... remember this... the baptism of fire (Baptism of the Holy Spirit) can come before water baptism. Just seek it with all of your being and faith if you truly wish to experience it and it is an experience...

    TBN Admits Concern About Offending Muslims. Revises Statement

    I never cared much for those "prophecy" shows anyways... I'm very wary about watching stuff on end-times b/c I don't trust them. However if we do Bible studies and work on it together (even if we have differing view points) then it's different. Also I kinda don't get too much into TBN...
