  • 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

Are wolves broken sheep?

Dear Church: Stop trying to convert wolves

Personally, the dilemma for me was that the wolves were the ones that adjudicated all situations. Surely, in situations such as I faced, membership for the likes of ordinary people should be seen as objectively optional?

I don't know of the situation you speak off.

I have a book I read some of years ago, called Sheep in Wolves Clothing by Val Macinyre. Her book about people in transference based around her own story was that there are broken sheep needing emotional and psychological healing who are divisive in churches, your article mentions that about half way through.

The expression in the bible "wolves in sheeps clothing" means something else I think.
