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.

Birth pangs describes this present world as in turmoil, suffering the pains of labor. What are these labor pains? They are the labor pains of this present fallen world as it is perishing, but which shall eventually give rise to that new world in which we hope.
These birth pangs are not signs of the end, they are the present reality of suffering in this world. When was the world without wars, rumors of wars, kingdoms rising against one another, famines, disease, and natural disasters?
The reason why our Lord says these are not the end yet but only birth pangs is because these should not cause us to believe the world is ending, but to understand that these are merely symptoms of a hurting creation. A creation that will, one day, be liberated from its bondage, Romans 8:18-23.
