  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Please pray for favor and protection

    The letters are in the mail and I expect that many of them will be delivered today. Please continue to pray for favor and protection. I'm leaving because personal boundaries were not respected - and because there were indications of stalker like behavior. I will not tolerate that. Nor will I...

    Please pray for favor and protection

    This is an update to the prayer requests I posted in this thread: http://www.christianforums.com/t7369313/ I had a confrontation today with the local artist/hobbyist. It got ugly and I chose to turn and walk away rather than engage in personal attacks. Best I can tell my offense was one of...

    Need some prayer please

    Need prayer for several things: (1) I'd say I need a job but what I really need is a whole new career. Don't mind making the change but I figure it means I will need to go back to school. I'm not exactly young and I haven't exactly had good career success as a result of my previous educational...

    Who is the most Christian non-pastor PUPLIC person you know?

    If you want a living mundane business person check out David and Mart Green. Founders of Hobby Lobby and Mardel. They have given 10's of millions of dollars to Oral Roberts University in the last year - although much of the gift was conditional which suggests it was a manipulative effort to...

    Who is the most Christian non-pastor PUPLIC person you know?

    Isn't that true of all of us? Are we humans capable of loving as purely and sacrificing as deeply as the Lord has done for us? Who am I to condemn another? I am after all incapable of knowing their intent and desire and the context of their experience and the challenge it brings...

    Who is the most Christian non-pastor PUPLIC person you know?

    The Christian who has most influenced me is Johnny Cash. Among other things he wrote and financed a movie about the life of Christ which the Billy Graham organization used for many years. Cash also wrote a first person novel about the Apostle Paul. He recorded a New Testament reading. At one...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    Again, permit me to ask a few questions if I may: (1) If you are not authorized to vote please explain why you feel you are authorized to speak regarding governmental and political matters. In many ways the acts of speaking and voting are quite similar – after all, both offer the...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    Are you stating that you believe that you are subject to no human authority? If so, please reconcile that belief with the passage of Scripture in 1 Peter 2:13-14 (AMP) which states, “13 Be submissive to every human institution and authority for the sake of the Lord, whether it be to the emperor...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    How can we define what belongs to God? He is Creator of heaven and earth. And we owe Him a debt that we cannot pay. Believers are foolish to think of anything – their lives, their homes, their fortunes - as being their own. We were created to worship Him. The Apostle Paul talks further...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    While I do not fault you for it, your lack of formal legal training is obvious. What is or is not reasonable to any particular man is irrelevant. What is legally significant is what is reasonable to the reasonable man. And that has been largely and extensively defined through the precedent of...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    Guess what? Even David complained about his government being wicked and unjust. His complaint about the judges of his day sounds very much like those currently in vogue among many fundamentalists. The United States is not a Christian nation and was never intended to be a theocratic...

    Is America Still A Christian Nation?

    And you also. Thank you for your response. While we do have our differences it would appear that we indeed have much in common. While I fellowship regularly with other believers, I too have long since left the organizational church. I live in the armpit of the Bible Belt where many of the...
