• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I have met the guys in blindside before and and they just radiate Christ’s love.. It really hurts me to see threads like this condemning our brothers..


I honestly really respect them for having the courage to put the word damned in one of there songs

Why? Christ himself drank.

I would like to see proof of this. You know what is funny that my uncle is a missionary oversea's and he has seen many people saved. His last time he was there me and him were talking and he had stated that. Once people over there get saved they don't even speak english or know our culture. However one of the first things they do is take an oath not to touch anything with achool in it. Now we go back to the US where we try to find ways out of not drinking.

Matthew 11:19 "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions"

Courage?
What about just knowledge of what the word means?
People shouldn't need courage to use a word in it's correct sense.
*shouldn't,* perhaps... but we know how the CCM market is... as illustrated by this thread...

Ok say you dont like what blindside sayed. thats your deal, BUT thats no reason to start a thread saying BOYCOT BLINDSIDE. Thats retarded. If you feel "un-easy" about this whole thing then dont listen to them. They didnt say "damned" in their song thinking that you and others would be upset and all that... they LMEW. In our world today, we cant say what we want because were to affraid of someone hearing us and condemning us. We dont want NEBODY to think bad against us. Like that one dude said, Jesus got as controversial as it gets and it was Jesus. These guys were using a word, that is used in the bible not as a wordy dirty, and your offended. Dude, get over it. When ever you grow up and face the real world this wont even compare. We are going to get stopmed on spat on and cursed at all because of what we believe. Jesus went through it for us and im willing to go through it for him. Dont cry over spilled mild and dont start a thread saying we should boycott them just because you dont agree!
