  • 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.

    Don't stop the war in Syria - We are making lots of money

    Have you ever wondered how it is, that a country like Syria, with a totally destroyed infrastructure, virtually no reliable exports, a destroyed economy, can afford a seemingly endless stream of sophisticated military might. Same too for the Rebels and IS. Where are they getting their arms and...

    Firm in Faith

    Sunday, March 19, 2017, 3:36 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Full Release.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Isaiah 7:1-9 (ESV). Waging War (vv. 1-2) In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of...

    Psalms 83 War

    Psalms 83: 1-8 1 A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden...

    Is Clergy Prayer for War Outcomes Appropriate

    I recently attended a Catholic Church and the priest made sure to include a prayer for soldiers in a war-torn area. I found the inclusion distracting since I had been taught that Christians are supposed to be neutral in world political affairs. It brought to mind how priests and clergy of all...

    Did Jesus change Personality After Ressurection?

    Some are claiming that Jesus was a strictly pacifist who condemned violence even in self defense. However, in the book of Revelation he is depicted riding a white horse and leading the armies of heaven to battle with a sword protruding from his mouth and waging war against God's enemies. In...

    Think of it the other way around

    When it is too difficult to understand something it might be helpful to reverse the situation Suppose the US was too violent, it has 5 times the murder rate of England for example, so some huge peacekeeping force moved in, did 'shock and awe' to New York and Washington, and later when four of...

    Which is it?

    Donald Trump has no training in debate, sticking to the point, and just jumped into politics. He will rely on his VP and advisors and I suspect may make a lot of good choices, and some bad ones, but not suicidally bad like upsetting Russia. Jill Stein has about 18 times as much experience at...

    Where has my party gone?

    I would have voted for Nixon, LBJ was terrible, Nixon tried to restrain government spending but the Reader's Digest took out a full page ad and shamed him into a huge expenditure to do an end run to cure cancer by testing every known substance. The Kennedy / LBJ Vietnam War cost so much the...

    the US will defend it's interests overseas anywhere any time

    Right now Russia is warning the US not to bomb in Syria because there are Russian aid personnel in Syria and Russia is willing to declare a no-fly zone over Syria. So the US proposal to bomb in that no-fly zone is therefore a direct challenge to Russia. To help clarify matters the US Army...

    Hillary Trump Summary

    Economy: Hillary appears to have a left-wing agenda making the tax structure more progressive, but she only cares about the very very rich like herself so what goes on down the below is of only passing interest to her. She is out to rob the nation via the banks, Goldman Sachs for example, and...

    Is Bernie all that different?

    Yes, he's in this millennium, the other two are from the sixties, when the Vietnam War seemed like a great idea. H. C. voted to attack Iraq and as Secretary of State over ruled the Pentagon's advice and ordered the bombing of Tripoli. Result, well we destroyed the beginnings of an African...
