• 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.

That it would! And thanks for the support on some of those other threads, this is a nice safe place to hide out. For some reason, I enjoy the challenge of them, but at times it can be a bit much, as I saw you got some first hand knowledge from a few of them. I pray for them though, they are deceived by the enemy and I would not want to be them when I meet my maker.

But, for the grace of God, go I (?)
I see, 'individual-choice' ... vary so-much, from, my own choice
and feel confused (and amazed) that others, can choose, what is for-me... the 'wrong choice'
But hey ho ... Reinhold Niebuhr got it right with his prayer

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

(Reinhold Niebuhr)

I venture out into other CF forums only very rarely
like: after reading an interesting headline ~in New Posts
It would seem that MANY, are only interested in pushing their own agenda / opinion
and some many (if not all) registered 'Atheists'
are around, ONLY to verbally bash and malign, Theists (or, so it looks, to-me)
Their conviction, is built (it seems) around; the discouragement of christians
[like a weedkiller, sprayed around flowers]

Maybe I should just 'listen' in-future (too)
:)

Hardly,
I understand that they, (MIGHT) have felt, discriminated against
and, in order that it should not be broken (by Legal-action)
CF needed to be open, to all-comers (from all walks of life)

Is undoubtedly the prime reason, they [the Atheists] do not face a closed door
The 'wolf' walks among the sheep, so let us walk near our Shepherd (?)

Yes, there is an agenda for sure. On Google it is very difficult to find any Christian evidence sites anymore, because it has been edited out. I'm sure it is an agenda to take out the very few informative sites out there. If they can discredit, I believe they think they are doing their "duty". I have made it mine to be sure and give my little bits out there, because there is a whole LOT of evidence for Creationists, if one chooses to see it. But.... yes. Prayerfully done, and hopefully keeping my own attitude in the right place.

The biggest 'stick' they have in their arsenal, is, I think, their requirement
for us to "PROVE GOD EXISTS"
Likewise.... THEY, cannot prove that He doesn't exist ^_^^_^^_^

Most importantly, they do not allow 'individual choices' (freedom to choose)
ie: why should it worry (disconcert) them
that so many choose, to hold belief in our Father

Yes, there is an agenda :prayer:
