• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Maybe Mike Johnson should just say that we live in a fallen world in which things go to extremes ( Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 etc.). As a governing official, he applies Romans 13:1-14 as best he can. We have legal immigration and try to deal with illegal immigration. If we collapse from illegal immigration, then I guess we collapse

Exodus 20:13 ( Douay & KJV) says we should not kill; there are no just wars but at times we fight & kill in this fallen world. I don’t think the Lord gives us some allowance in Matthew 19:18. Is a soldier who does their duty to their nation any better or worse than a conscientious objector? The Lord accepted the centurion ( Matthew 8:5-13) as he was.

I just realized this was the Catholic sub forum. If I am out of line, let me know & I will delete.
