  • 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

I find this passage peculiar, I won’t explain all of it but if you are familiar with it then you know the details.

The man of god was told not to eat or drink anything on his journey but another man, a prophet supposedly told him that an angel had ordered him to feed him some food but he was lying because an angel did not tell him that. After this man gave him some food then the word of the lord came upon him and he indicated that this man of god would die because he didn’t obey god by eating and thus that man was killed by a lion.

I was told he disobeyed god by Christians plain and simple, but how is eating food a cardinal sin deserving death ? It’s not like he robbed a bank. The other man’s role in all this is most peculiar because he lies to him and gets him to eat the food then he says because he ate the food god is going to strike him down. So god gave him this spiritual insight but he himself lied and was a partaker in getting the man to eat the food
