• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Tannks for the great example of where you need to changes the bible..and showing how you really don't understand what it is saying.
A very common tendency I have encountered is to deprive the Bible of the usage of poetic language, metaphors, similes, hyperbole and to claim that it uses all terms literally. All other literature is, of course, granted that right.

John 10:9 tells us: I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

Some would have us believe Jesus is a literal gate hanging on a post by its hinges.
