  • 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.

There are a lot of people that ask me why and how I can believe in Jesus.
For years I have not understood why people would ask me that. I didn't understand how people couldn't belive in God. Stories of the bible has been amazing to me and while my father calls me gullible I still didn't understand.

For the people that ask me these questions on here I have to ask you something. If Jesus was just a prophet then why would he say he's lord? Why would he have let people treat him the way they did. He didn't fight back when they took him to the jews to be killed.... Why would he have died for a lie? And why would his diciples have died for a lie???? every single person that was an apostle died a martyrs death.. I believe if I'm not mistaken that paul was hung upside down on a cross. Steven was stoned to death and for what? Because they preached the word of God... Think about that..... If someone asked you if you were a christian and told you that they would kill you, how would you answer? These people died and that is one reason why I believe that Jesus is the Christ.... NOT THE MAIN REASON but one of them.

God also worked major miricles in my life. What brought me to my faith was because of the sins I commited. Before I was a christian I was into wicca. I was deeep in it.. I saw so much stuff I can't even tell you. I broke down one time and I felt God touching my shoulder. I felt his words on my heart tell me that he loves me and wanted me to give up that life. I said to him Ok lord if that is you then prove to me your here and show me I'm wrong... That's when I found in Duneronomy and other places in the bible what God thought of sorcery. Please if your not saved truly think about it.... and if your in wicca like I was please tell God to prove it to you. I know how hard it is to leave it behind! I know how hard it is to give up yourself... But if you tell God to talk to you and give him a chance then he will listen to you! Ask yourself... WHO would die for a lie.

Very good to hear your story. It is amazing how God can speak into our lives even when we are in the darkest of places. God is forever there and wanting to connect with us, it is us that turn our backs on Him at times. It is amazing how God is always ready to forgive if we have a repentant heart and are ready to live for Him.
