  • 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.

No, offense but I've seen christians suffer and be in pain, so saying those who have a relationship with God are free from this and those who don't have a relationship with God exclusively are candidates for these emotions is false. I know that you're saying that pain and suffering are emotions that are supposely outside of God, even though he is the creator of all things, every little things and all of emotion according to the bible. I hope you know where I'm getting at,... even if God technically didn't create it himself he created the manisfestation or condition it was created in going by what you believe.

Nobody can say that Christians never feel pain or suffer; that's part of life; we suffer for many reasons: illness, hatred, and just often bad luck.

The only thing is that we, as Christians, have a relationship with God and love Him, which helps us through the pain of life. Have you ever read "Footprints in the Sand"? Google it if you haven't, but this is true. We suffer, but God walks with us the whole way, and when we can't walk any more, then He carries us through the bad times.
