  • 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.

Thanks Guys,

I don't feel quite so invisible now.

Zem, I borrowed your signature line because it is such a profound verse, and I was trying to share a word with my Charismatic brothers on this very subject. However that word was not very well received and once again my threads locked up, (which is sort of like sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling LALALALALAL, so that you do not have to listen.)

I was surprised, I thought we we're maintaining our comments pretty well, and when I went back to the thread, it was locked. What I think gets them riled is when you try to lump all those church goers as going to the harlot church. It's like a poke in their eye, I go to a wonderful church. It's into Jesus only, and pretty strict teaching. I dont think every church is Apostate, but there again it might be just a difference of opinion, that flies in their face. I can understand that.

OH my goodness, Charles... for a long time I have had a picture in my head of exactly!!! that. Gentilized christianity (and its adherants) sticking fingers in their ears and refusing to hear and learn about the Real Yeshua, His Real faith, the Truth of the WHOLE of the Word and its applicability as a whole to life as a believer. Wowsa. "Lalalalalalalalalalalalaaaaaa, I can't hear you!!!!!" Right on, brother. It's prolific. Now this is not to say that all folks are this way by any means. Many simply need better educating on those presumptions and misunderstandings that so many don't even realize are incorrect, due to the heritage of our gentile belief system and understandings (DH and I were this way). It's the folks who cannot let go of their comfortable, incorrect notions/understandings/beliefs, and instead scream over the voice of reason "LALALALALALALAAAAA"
