  • 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.

    Have you seen a "burning bush"?

    I have lots of small ones, but I can't name them off the top of my head. It's those things that make me go "Huh, is that a coincidence or a sign?" I can think of limitless times of when I feel frustrated about something and think God is trying to divert me from doing it. Especially when I'm...

    Why doesn't The Church sell 'some' of its vast assets to solve world poverty??

    Yeah, I wish that would happen. But who owns all the assets? Who ultimately has the power to say that the money should go towards this?

    If The World Had A Front Porch

    I believe you can never, ever truely understand anyone. Even if you studied them for your whole life. You can never see from their perspective. Neither can you ever understand yourself fully. I don't know, it just seems that understanding yourself is turning inside out. A mind comprehending the...

    Can Christians be swingers?

    As long as they arn't hurting anyone while having fun, I see no reason why they can't "swing" around.

    I'm confused. Are you asking me the questions I asked?

    What makes me me? What are the Christians views on this? My memories contribute to what I am today. The toddler is still in me because it's part of my memory. Will I take these memories to heaven? What if my memories are hurtful, will I suffer with them for eternity? I suppose you could take...

    Americans referred to this photo as disgusting

    ...The only reason it could be disgusting is if you were insecure about it. Like you didn't do this when you were younger.

    Inmates demand porn

    Prison is more of setting an example for everyone else. It doesn't really do much for the people who are actually in prison, it just scares the people outside of it. Just like when people used to be hung drawn and quartered. The victims are exposed as much as they can be to the public. From the...

    MOVED FROM OUTREACH: Homosexuality

    I don't get it. If the bible gave constructive reasons why it would contribute to a stable society, I would consider it. It just lays down rules. It seems more of a preference. Don't you, in some circumstances, want to question the bible? Here's a deal, I will give you 100 dollars/pounds (I'm...

    What's the fall? Why does there need to be hierarchy? Can't we all be equal?

    MOVED FROM OUTREACH: Homosexuality

    So if I became a strong Christian and a homosexual, I'm still going to hell? I think it still shows the same relationship between Christ and the Church. That he loves the Church. What's the difference? If God created us, then why did he put homosexuality in?

    Emotional Blackmail

    Heaven must be pretty empty then. You say that sins send you to hell and that a sinless life is impossible. The thing that I'm more interested in, and that you didn't answer, is why God is interested in "testing" us. What's the purpose in testing us? You say that we have a chance to "run the...

    MOVED FROM OUTREACH: Homosexuality

    Don't you question why it is a sin? Can you think why? Why can heterosexual acts be performed while homosexual acts not? Is there a valid and constructive reason? Or do you just do what God tells you to?
