  • 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.

    Having God’s Compassion And Mercy For Others - Greg Gordon

    I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. – Jonah 4:2 We all know the story of the prophet who was swallowed by the fish.

    His Benefits Bestowed

    Can you imagine with me what it would be like to physically be in Jesus’ presence, and to be able to sit down with him on a mountain, and to listen to him teach us his truths? Think with me for a moment what it would be like to gaze up at his face and to be able to look into his eyes and to see...

    Extreme fear whether Jesus will forgive me or not.

    Hi, I have severe OCD (OCD is an obsession of irrational thoughts), anyway, I am very afraid God won't forgive me because I get so terribly afraid if I really committed a sin or not. For instance, my brother used to have a Gameboy and I worry if I broke it along time ago. He doesn't talk about...

    Sweet Fellowship

    Ephesians 2:1-3 ESV And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh...

    Amos 4

    What great timing God can have . Amos became one of my favorites when putting the book together. Amos did not go to Seminary and so he was rejected and ignored by the system of man, nothing has changed. Amos picked fruit and was a herder God chose him to bring a message no one wanted to hear...

    Weed and Worship

    I guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. There's a belief that grace covers sin, no matter what choice you make...and we are free to choose whatever we want because God gave us free will. "Smoking pot enlightens and opens your mind to really hear from God." Huh? and Huh? again...

    What is the best way to learn, preach or teach Nahum?

    I see it is brief, very poetic prose like and seems easy to miss points made It also seems like background from history and archeology might help but shouldn't be taken too much And it appears to balance mercy and judgement to an extent even carrying the verse 'how beautiful on the mountains...

    I need help forgiving my RCIA class

    Today's mass was actually quite above average. The parish I'm stuck in right now has a large Indian population and so occasionally, they will Syro-Malabar hymns at mass. At first the Syro-Malabar music was, I hope this doesn't sound too xenophobic but, kind of Bollywood sounding, but as things...

    Salvation, Mercy & James 2:13

    in reading through James, a scripture says "for judgement is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy." In your opinion how does this line is with us all being sinners (rom. 3:23) and receiving grace and mercy and forgiveness from god, leading to our salvation?

    The God Series - Mercy.

    Mercy. As our Father, compassion reveals His deep love for us. But as our God, mercy reveals His everlasting sovereignty for His creation that has failed Him time and time again. Without God’s undying mercy we would be subjected to His wrath and suffer the pain of disobedience from one...

    Is time too short?

    Today I spent the time thinking that if I were to die today heaven would not be the place where I am going. Although Christ is who I profess as lord and I believe God raised him from the dead. I'm living in darkness (in my sin.) I'm so stubborn I don't want to give up my pleasurable youthful...
