  • 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.

    When Life is Hard

    When life is hard I look towards Christ and what he promised. God never promised us a certain lifestyle, or even that on the 1st of March we would know how we are to pay our bills on the 31st. God promised us that he would provide for our day to day needs. As long as I have food, somewhere to...

    Bonked on the head . . .

    I would probably stop questioning my beliefs as I would suddenly have all the knowledge I need from a few sermons ;) :cool: Some conservative Christians have given me the most insightful answers on this walk I am on, and I think being a conservative Christian, if it allows you to focus on...

    Insane...

    That poor poor girl :( As far as the catholic church, that is not for us to decide or judge but for Jesus to decide. People in church cling to there morals as a symbol of power that they in life crave. The ability to "act" this out unto the community in every little way possible is nothing...

    Who decides what a Christian is?

    Awesome, awesome statement! A Christian is someone who puts Christ first plain and simple. If you are more concerned about ritual, rules, sacraments, the process of religion than you are a religious individual, but not neccesarily a Christian. The rules of the bible can be interpreted...

    Cleaning the Spiderwebs out of your beliefs

    I think it is healthy to sometimes question your faith. Even to the point of considering maybe you are not a christian. Life in Jesus is a real thing, it is not some game we get to play 1 or 2 days a week. When someone senses something is wrong usually something is. For people to...

    Religion vs Spirituality

    Of course you are correct. Any activity you do with a "knowledge" of evil intent is of course wrong as we are held to be responsible for our actions from our thoughts. The problem is though, if *you* did Yoga due to your beliefs about the practice you would assume that you are practicing...

    Since I'm sort of new to the forum...

    I want to leave an impact on peoples lives rather than the world as a whole. I would rather help change a few peoples lives for the better than become a name in a history book somewhere. I think illegal aliens should have basic rights as set out by the bible, I do not think they should be...

    [College] How well do you and your roommate(s) get along?

    Sadly me and my roomates co-exist heh. We are both so busy though that we rarely see each other. It has only been a few weeks so far but I doubt that changes. We all do our part cleaning thankfully so that is not an issue, but we are not really good friends yet. Hopefully soon :)
