• 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.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM ? But we have the mind of Christ.

I don't know that I would use the word "extremist" as an indictment. There is righteousness and there is lawlessness. If you are extremely righteous, does that make you and "extremist"? And is that bad? I wouldn't say so. Either we are following the lead of the Holy Spirit or we are not. If we are following His lead, then can we do it to such an "extreme" that we're in the wrong? I don't think so. Now there are people who some might call "extreme" who are just plain in the flesh - go to any large Charismatic gathering, and you'll see some of that, sorry to say. But would I use the word "extreme" to characterize fleshly behavior? hyper-emotionalism? a lack of self-control? No. I would simply discern that these people are in the flesh, and would do my darndest to ignore them - because they amount to exactly nothing in the spiritual realm as long as they act that way. "Extremist" is a term used by worldly people to cover any behavior they don't understand. Let's not borrow their terminology.
