• 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.

Heh... I saw that on the last page and was just coming to delete my post. Ah well.

I'd like a good debate on where authority stems from. My position is that it all comes from threat of violence, but that's probably fodder for another forum.

Is this the chat line or a serious discussion thread?

O.K. Statement of Purpose, or Statement of Faith.

I think the sooner the better- even Lee's church has one.

Just as long as it is not Statement of Beliefs. People shorten EVERYTHING around here...;)

Oh, lots of places have statements of faith. I'll never acknowledge one, and I will attempt to subvert any that I run across.

O.K. but then what DO you believe? What DO you stand for??

If this is truly a Christian forum, then I would hope that Lee will spell out exactly what that means.

That won't exclude anyone, or allow us to mock, judge or be disrespectful of others; quite the contrary, as Christians, we are told to show love- but it will spell out what the underlying foundations of this WEB site are all about.

Then I guess we'll soon find out if that foundation is sitting on liquifiable sand or solid rock. If rock, then my guess is that even the sky won't be the limit as to how high this place could go.

There is a massive thirst for spiritual knowledge out there, and no Christian forum site yet has even come close to quenching that thirst.

What I believe and what I stand for could never be captured on a piece of paper, Friend.
