  • 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

We should also pray for the leaders of NATO countries who deliberately lied to Putin about their intentions not to expand NATO to Russia's borders.
The USA was willing to invade Cuba back when Russia was going to place missiles on the island of their ally. War was averted when a diplomatic solution was found. NATO put Putin in the same situation. He tried for a diplomatic solution but NATO and Biden promised to support Ukraine and forced Putin's hand. If people want to label Putin as evil then they need to do the same for Biden and Merkel and the other NATO members. More so for them because they were willing to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in their goal of weakening Russia while they themselves suffered nothing.

Putin sees himself as a 'saviour' of Ukraine, protecting them from the encroachment of our perverse decadent corrupt western nations, so perhaps he's got a valid point?..;)

Putin is a politician. Amongst Russians, he portrays himself as Orthodox. Amongst his very many Muslim citizens, he portrays himself as a warrior against homosexuality etc. Amongst his many animist citizens, he portrays himself as a warrior against 'black magic' etc. He covers all the bases, to bend people to his will; which is the restoration of the Russian Empire. This is why Finland and Poland are arming up, as they were both part of the Russian Empire in the 1800s.
Under Putin, Islam is growing in Russia at a great rate, as most migrants to Russia are now Muslim, and the Orthodox population is in a long term and accelerating decline. I believe that the "Live Births" statistics were classified in Russia from about 9 months after the start of the 2022 invasion, and calls for mass mobilisation...

The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died for all because He loves us all.

We should pray that all world leaders - indeed all people - resist Satan and turn to Christ.
Praying for others is nice. But Jesus probably doesn’t do polling. Prayer is for the one who prays.

Would I pray for Putin? The answer is a resounding yes! Everyone needs a chance or two to come to Christ, so I will pray he gets saved. :)

I actually have compassion on Putin despite everything he has done. I feel sorry for him in that he doesn't have a relationship with Jesus. :(

Are we in what is called the Age of Grace? Also called the Church Age, its a span of time that God is using to save people and call out a people for His name.

And if God is exercising His Grace towards us, then why shouldn't I do the same? With grace I give to Putin the gospel and show mercy. :)
