  • 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.

    Please pray God will have mercy on me

    Please pray that He won't let Satan take me. I'm so scared. I had thoughts of irrevocably selling my birthright and my soul. Please pray for mercy. I'm afraid it's too late.

    God Needs Constant Pleadings to Help Someone?

    Why are so many Christians under the impression that we must plead with God to take action in order for him to do the decent thing that any of us would readily without any need for persuasion because it is the decent thing to do? It makes God out to seem rather callous. IMHO We as Christians...

    Compassion for Animal Suffering VS Compassion for Humans

    There seems to be a big discrepancy among some humans between what they consider to be merciful behavior towards animals and compassionate behavior towards humans. They seem to feel that being human disqualifies a person from the same empathetic consideration which they readily express toward a...

    Antithesis...the way of the Christian.

    The Christian is to be antithetical where the Lord God and the truth of His word, the Holy Bible, are concerned. The unredeemed people of this fallen world, following the powers of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2), are haters and enemies of God (Romans 1:30, Romans 8:7). They cannot know Him or be...
