  • 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.

    The Bible is more than you think...

    Where is my deciding point of what is bad and what is good? The Bible reveals my freedom to me. In the Scriptures, that is where i am feed with the gospel of Christ. People are 'human' and sinful, the Bible never changes as we do. My feelings change, but the facts of the Bible remain. The Bible...

    The Bible is more than you think...

    In a song a man was told to just 'follow his nose' but he said the direction changed every time he moved his face. if I do not believe in the whole Bible as fact I'm lost.

    Finding Meaning in Life?

    Hey Julia, Sometimes God doesn't just drop things in front of us that is obvious we are to take that direction. Often it is stepping out in trust, giving something a try, and if that's not right, trying again. I found i have learnt so much along the way that has helped me to be where i am now...

    Growing in Christ

    What a great site! I needed to read that others wanted a closer and more personal relationship with Jesus. I plan to read right through all the posts. But what i have already read has encouraged me. I often feel isolated, unable to go that little bit deeper with other Christians, but this thread...

    Interesting article about a denomination moving away from the "Bible"

    Without the Bible we can make Jesus and God into anything we want them to be, to suit our own needs. We would create our own 'god' and pattern of how he wants us to live.

    Advice to yourself...

    To continually put the question "What will matter in 5, 10, 100 years from now?', before i made any decisions and choices. The reality is that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what really matters above everything else. This comes before my disappointment in not finishing school, going to uni...
