  • 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'm sorry but the reasons you stated sound legalistic and self-righteous to dwell on such a petty matter.

There are a lot of good things we can learn from the Jews. Such as faithful tithing . . . . . and making sabbath a special day.
Your second sentence seems out of place with your first, imo. As I read the Bible, I am persuaded that all such issues fall within the same bucket.

You are what you want others perceive you to be and perception is reality.
We spend way too much time worrying about how people perceive us and far too little time worrying about how God perceives us.

Since we don't just worship at home
Why not? Worship can occur in many different places. I can do it in my PJs.

we go to places where people are.
Sometimes, yes. That is only one of many forms of worship. Hopefully, we are experiencing all of them.

There is an accepted norm in the society. We need to be respectful and presentable.
Why? Worship is for God, not people.

When we act differently, it draws attention.
Not sure why fancy clothes draw less attention than casual ones.
