  • 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.

Dealing with a sinful past ?

I have a past that I am very embarassed of and not proud of at all, but as God forgives you, you have to forgive yourself too. Your sins are wiped clean. You are new and fresh from this day forth. Do your best to be a good Christian and remember that everyone sins and not one of us is perfect and you won't be either. So if you do something wrong don't get down on yourself, just ask for forgiveness and move on.

I come from a past of drugs, homosexuality, and witchcraft. When CHRIST changed my life I was able to find a church I was accepted in. Since then I have visited many churches in the area (I've stayed rooted in my home church, but I like to be a member of the entire body in my area rather than just hide in one place) and have been accepted everywhere I went.

I say this to help quench some of those fears you have of being judged. Just go where God leads you and if by the off chance someone is not understanding of what grace really means, teach them by your example.

Be blessed!
