• 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.

So, you base your beliefs on how you feel?

Would you agree that personal belief doesn't definite truth?

No, rather my feelings can change so they do not define beliefs.

Personal beliefs only define truth to me. But then I have to look at the fact that I believe much differently than I did 10 years ago. So which beliefs are correct? The ones I had 10 years ago or now? What if they change again in the next 10 years?

A lot depends on where you want to end up. (and actually, fully depends on God's Grace)
What or Who are you seeking ?
Who are you going to Trust ?
(God says "Choose Today WHO you will serve")
After that, just do what THEY say. Simple.
(That's what everyone does anyway)
It is certainly not simple today.
The Gospel of Jesus is pure and simple TODAY as it always was.
As it is written:
Yhwh created all things simple; man ( mankind/religion) came up with many devices (not good).

All the religions and variations are distractions from God's Word, Christ Jesus, He Who is Truth.
