  • 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

A Black Lives Matter rioter said: 'Rich People Got all this Money and They Ain't Tryin' to Give Us None'

The sense of entitlement is breathtaking. To think that he, or anyone else, is entitled to someone else's money is at the heart of whats wrong with the BLM movement.


The problem is people like you thinking just Because they are black, they must be with BLM. This is one reason BLM get such a bad rap. You believe if they are black they are with the movement.

You are all over the place trying to justify your objections, like a slippery bar of soap.

Most people stop worrying about money when they have accumulated enough to satisfy their needs, whether those needs are real or imagined. Not everyone wants more more more.

I never worried about money (the biggest reason for my divorce) as I knew that I would eventually have 'enough'. When one has enough they don't worry about it, they manage it for the benefit of themselves, and their family, and perhaps a legacy so descendants will have better opportunities.

They are also generally quite generous in supporting charities and are often 'sustaining' contributors, which help ensure the ability of those agencies to continue their work.

I'm not the one preaching politics, you are. My reasoning is not subjective at all. No matter who wins the election i'll still be preaching these same words.

I follow Pauls example. He gloried in hardships and necessities. I need the power of Christ in my sou. I have been through the darkest battles of the mind and spirit that a person can imagine. I want to bear fruit, my soul needs it.

Let others bear that fruit by allowing them to help you. God often afflicts someone for this purpose.

I am doing it now. Your slander of me is a blessing. I know you don't know any better though, so I don't blame you. Not long ago I was just like you, heck I'm still fighting against the old man even now. I'm not arguing about politics, I'm arguing against politics. Paul argued against division too, are you saying he was a hypocrite as well?

No,you are arguing for that portion of politics you agree with,you paint Paul as a unity at all cost kind of guy and he was not...I have not slandered you anymore than you have judged me with your self righteous attitude and I have enough experience with liberals to know what that is leading up to

That was then. Today we are awash in inexpensive imported clothing. Goodwill and other such outlets have tons of clothing that the poor access. A bit of humorous irony though. My late boss, a man of considerable wealth, got all his work clothes from Goodwill.
Reminds me of a Midas(?) commercial: A man pulls up in a Bentley, gets a new muffler then asks for his muffler warranty. The mechanic asks why does a man like him need the warranty. He replies "How do you think a man like me got to be a man like me?"

Jesus preached the kingdom yet he submitted to Rome. Think about it, maybe you will understand.

And your point is ? I submit to Washington....Jesus was/is the Kingdom.....big difference
And on and on it goes,we have the problems we have in this nation because we are a godless nation and have turned our backs on God and the blessings he gave us...so its all down hill from here and rearranging deck chairs

Like building mansions?
Acts 5

Ananias and Sapphira are Punished

1 But then a man named Ananias, with the consent of his wife Sapphira, sold some property.

2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the money for himself and brought the remainder and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money you got for the land?

4 As long as it remained unsold, wasn’t it your own? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn’t lie only to men, but also to God!”

Your assertion is false. I have often criticized both socialism and capitalism. My only purpose in these recent posts was to expose the hypocrisy that was being preached by conservative posters, and I was preaching love for our enemies and doing good for them as well.

Rome was pretty Godless too, yet it never hindered the Church. You don't understand sound doctrine. You don't understand that the Church is separate from the world. God will judge this nation like he does the whole world, but his wrath wont stop because you try to force unbelievers to submit to God. You will only turn the gospel into an offensive, contentious group of factions.

It means more division in the Church over politics. So whats your answer? Are we supposed to unite under the conservative agenda or the liberal? How about Christ alone?
I have never seen His name of the ballot. If I did I would vote for him; as is I vote for the one that I think comes closest to His word even if that is very far off.....refusing to vote solves nothing.

The gospel is already and always has been offensive....why do you think so many have died for it

Jesus said woe unto the man who causes offences. You cant force the gospel onto people. Instead you do good for them, and love them.
