  • 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.

    Christian Minister: The Devil Went Down To The UN

    I personally support many of Bush's policies, including the War on Terror and Operation Iraqi Freedom, but I can respect and understand those who don't agree. Bush seems to be doing everything possible AGAINST the antichrist's one-world government possible. I don't see how liberating one of...

    need prayer - Going to admit an old sin which might ruin me financially

    Amen brother! But ease off of him, this is a decision that could change their life forever, I would want advice and some time before I decided. I too have found confessing your sins to be very liberating. Remember that anytime you make a sacrifice or do an act for God, His hand will be over...

    Discomfort in church..

    Dont let a few people spoil Christianity for you. The Lord has a purpose in life for YOU personally, keep your chin up, learn from your experiences, and He will make Himself more clear to you and reward you for your faith.

    1 Corinthians 5:1-13

    Remember that we are all sinful and we aren't to put ourselves above others who sin, from Romans (also by Paul). I see the point of the verse to be if the person is continually sinning without remorce. Struggling with times of weakness but having a heart of remorce and truth is different than...

    Rev. teaches that we will be resurrected on the New Jerusalem, the New Earth where there is no sin, just like the newly created earth.

    Goodbye For Now!

    Flat Earth

    Yes, there are some people, including Christians, that believe the earth is flat. They attribute much of science's findings to government lies and coverups. Just curious if anyone here actually believes these things. Ive heard the Bible indicates a flat earth, but I don't see that as being...

    Any other geocentrists here?

    I think geocenticism is a bit broad, obviously there are different kinds and variations. And I am not one but I am not completely opposed to the idea... I don't see how earth's placement in the universe is very signifigant in any way.

    On the Origins and Nature of Man

    God giving us an obligation, a duty, and the means to accomplish it with. It is within our power to accept or deny that responsibility. I don't see it as being unclear, no offense.

    The Deepest Love

    Amen brother! God is willing to be patient and guide us pitiful sinners who deserve eternal seperation from Him, but he loves us enough that He provides a way back to us through the sacrifice of the Messiah.

    Authority of Scripture

    Its best to test tradition and the words of church leaders with the scripture as a judge of their authenticity.

    On the Origins and Nature of Man

    Need I remind you that we were made in the image of God and appointed the masters and stewards of all creation? It is a responsibility.

    Being "Saved"

    I don't believe it is divine wrath as much as simply the natural result of our own sin, our own self-destruction via our free will.
