  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

AR,

I was never much of a pork eater. But I ordered a half of Berkshire pork this spring and it's good! The ribs were amazing. :D

If you're going biblical you've gotta go all the way. I don't keep kosher and keshering (purifying) a kitchen is a lot of work unless you don't have much in there! Not to mention the dishes and I have multiple sets.

Yours in His Service,

~Bella

Mmmm...I feel hungry

Again, we're speaking of the old covenant here so it's perfectly alright to eat pork in my humble opinion. :)



@April_Rose

Some Christians do think Tourette syndrome is a sin of the flesh and and an excuse to curse. I do not believe this but I have seen this opinion expressed by "christians"





They can't help it though. :/



Football is a load of old codswallop!






Would that be American football that you're speaking of or European?

AR,

My choice to abstain would be based on the Lord's direction, medical requirement, or ethnicity. I didn't eat pork while in the synagogue and rarely prepared it. We were taught the principles of a kosher diet and understand the religious and practical reasons behind it. But I never felt the Holy Spirit leading me down that path. Even now. He's made amendments to my diet that I've shared in another forum. But that wasn't one of them. :)

Yours in His Service,

~Bella

Black licorice is delicious.

I just read that only .35% of the world population likes it.

I find that figure highly suspect; as I often see a bowl of candied anise seeds on the way out of Indian restaurants. India composes a huge part of the world population; and anise tastes much like black licorice.

What say ye?

I enjoy liquorice, especially black but I also like the salted kind, especially the Dutch

Hate it :D But I have some Finnish friends who think I'm insane and threaten to feed me salted black licorice candy and ice cream :D
