  • 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.

    If the Church did not fall away, the sacrifice of the remnant may be interrupted

    Hi there, So this is not to harp on about the falling away - I am not trying to say you should feel convicted about the times.

    There is 'Great Suffering', and 'Nominal Suffering' - God won't deal with all suffering at once

    Hi there! So I hit upon a truth, that might shed some light on what we mean, by "suffering": The point is that Great Suffering is intense and primary, you can't necessarily do something about it - but when you do, it is a great relief. This is like the quandary of the soul - what to do with it...
