  • 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.

An Evangelical Christian from Ireland, who was suspended from his teaching job, is to have over $43,200 (€40,000) forcibly removed from his bank account following a court order.

Enoch Burke was first suspended from his job as a teacher at Wilson’s Hospital School, a Church of Ireland school in Westmeath, following a disagreement with the school’s principal about the school's policy toward a student who wanted to socially transition and identify as the opposite sex.

Burke publicly voiced his opposition to using the student’s new name, “they/them” pronouns, and the school's position on affirming transgenderism generally.

Be inclusive! Be tolerant!

....except for those who are traditional Christians that have a traditional and conservative understanding of marriage, gender, and sexuality.

This is what is happening now. It is the beginning of the end. Now that God has been rejected a new ideology is taking its place which conforms with the worlds beliefs.

Ten or twenty years ago this would not have been a thing. People knoew what reality was. Go back 60 or 80 years and 90% of society believed in God and this reflected the social norms. Now God is rejected out of the public square Christians are now seen as trouble makers and bigots for their beliefs. The same beliefs we all had even 10 minutes ago in history.

So this insanity will grow and secular ideology will become more and more in conflict with Christianity that it won't be just job loses and financial penalties but actual physical harm and even death.

So Christians need to be strong. Peter says that when we suffer for doing good it shines Christ and this can expose the evil in the world without saying a word. That we are saved by being obedient until the end even if the going gets tuff. God will always provide a way for those who suffer.

I am sure this teacher believes Gods truth is worth more than money. He will find a better place with God. In the end this world passes away and the teasures stored in heaven will last.
