  • 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.

"Why would you not want to teach truth? Children have more faith than most teens and adults (Matt 18:3-4) . Why not put that faith in God's word (truth)"

I (singular, me, not speaking for others) do and did and will teach truth,
but that question is a good one...
why do most people, including religious (or especially?), not even want to ?
.
Is it because it costs too much ? (like being laughed at, or beaten, or ignored by those the person wants attention from, approval from)
.
For instance,
if you look into the history of the fda and find out who controls that organization and its rules and practices,
then, having found out the truth,
try to let people know in the gentlest or in the boldest way, whichever,
you will be called crazy by your own family, neighbors and co-workers and forums.
or
as you, individually, slaveofchrist, know,
how far do you ever get exposing the truth about b.h. (he is SOOOO popular)... ?

This is not about doctrine, nor tradition, nor religion, but truth.
The Waldensians were apparently the closest in living obedient lives in Yahshua.
Long, long, ago.
Truth was their halmark, their sign, their heritage. They loved Truth and lived and died for it without considering any cost too great - they could not and would not be bribed.
Others who loved not the Truth, but were offended by it, offended by Yahshua's Life,
and
who did not want their own sins exposed to everyone,
they slaughtered the Waldensians (who died without resisting).
So the Waldensians go on in Life, Eternal Life, while the others perish forever.

I know very little about this faith, however i feel it would be interesting to know how you live your lives and how you praise God. I believe quakers don't believe in television or electricity? i could be wrong..

Welcome Jesusmygod! :wave:

You're thinking of the Old Order Amish and Old Order Mennonites. However, I imagine there are some Quakers who've chosen to forgo electricity
and/or television as well.
