  • 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

Imagine for a moment a U.S. president continuously engaging biblical references to undergird a political agenda.

Truth be told, former President Barack Obama mastered the art of Judeo-Christian biblical citations for the purpose of creating a moral imperative behind some of his most controversial policy initiatives.

He cited verses like “I am my brother’s keeper” (Genesis 4:9) to promote policies on healthcare and welfare. He often quoted Matthew 25:40, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” to justify his social justice initiatives. Despite this, no one labeled him a Christian nationalist. Why? This irony highlights the selective outrage when Bible-believing Christians engage in the political process today.
