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.

How do you know that you know the living god?TexasGirl06 said:I do know the Living God.
Now, what is your question.
And how did you find him?
And if you know the living God... Are you really at peace with your live?
Without doubt, fear or confusion?

I found Him, (not that he was lost)
D )..... when I seeked Him. When life was just a crazy mess.
Daily life was hard.
New marriage.
New babies
...just to go to bed and start all over again.
What was "life" all about?
Work, work, work....and then die?
So, I began to seek Him.
I began to really listen when people talked about Him.
I soon discovered...that the "religion" I grew up with wasn't really about a relationship with God.
Solid, reputable adults called Jesus their best friend.
What was that all about?
I wanted to know more.
I listened.
I desired to know more.
I talked to God and asked Him a lot of questions.
He began to show me things.
He began to show me my sin.
I started to say "I'm sorry".
Yeah... I meant it.
But, it wasn't a grieving "sorry".
The grieving would come later...as I understood that my sin was against a Holy God.
And, as I realized just how much He did indeed love me.
Slowly...the whole "God" and "christianity" thing began to make sense.
It seemed...that the more I desired to understand, the more He allowed me to understand.
I do doubt (things) on occasion.
Never do I doubt God.
He has shown me how real He is...and how real His Word is.
Sometimes I fear. Just momentarily, though..
I fall back on His Word...and my fears are gone.
Confusion? Never.
I know why I was created and I know what I am supposed to be doing during my time on earth.
Peace? Yes, my friend.
There is pain. And, often.
But the Living God is always with me.
He brings the Peace in the middle of the darkest storms.
ie: Holding my Mom's hand as she died in the ICU.
Walking out of the room and into the waiting room and feeling the most incredible loving peace I have ever known.
Only from God.
And I will add: I do not know if my Mom went to Heaven upon her death.
My friend...it is real.
It is the only thing that I rely on.
It is why I give my time to write to people like you on this site. My precious time.
Knowing Jesus is more precious than anything.
