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

GXG,

Shimshon has stated nothing wrong. He is entitled to his opinion and his convictions. If you do not like it than please keep your comments to yourself. So far the thread was going well. And this was my thread that I had started because I had a question.

Now I have two choices. I can accept the answers or reject them.

Also no one will be reported because nothing was going astray. We all shared our thoughts. And we need to respect each others thoughts, just like you would want us to respect your thoughts.

GXG,

Shimshon has stated nothing wrong.

He is entitled to his opinion and his convictions. If you do not like it than please keep your comments to yourself.
Moriah,

Respectfully, I have not said that Shimshon said anything wrong in statement - as what was noted directly was that the comments made against him (i.e. claiming he had a twisted view of God's Word, claiming he wanted to make the forum dispensational, etc.) were needless since they came off as attacks....and were not necessary. This has happened consistently in differing threads - and as suggested by leadership, sometimes it's best to not respond to it when it does occur. That's why it was noted that one can choose to ignore it....or, if it persists in an increasingly negative manner, remember that they have freedom to report it. No one is to be attacked in any manner or given false labels per the rules (as it concerns flamming) - and after it has been asked to cease, if it continues, it is to be brought up.

I already noted where I agreed with Shimshon's opinion/convictions and appreciate him - and if you do not understand something or something comes off the wrong way, that is not an issue to bring up graciously. Nonetheless, it'd be best to please not respond to ideas which were never advocated as that is not necessary.

So far the thread was going well. And this was my thread that I had started because I had a question.

Now I have two choices. I can accept the answers or reject them.
No one said anything counter to that - so again, I do not see the need to bring it up since I enjoyed the thread and have followed it. Again, it seems you may be responding to things which are not really being said.
Also no one will be reported because nothing was going astray. We all shared our thoughts. And we need to respect each others thoughts, just like you would want us to respect your thoughts.

Moriah Ruth
Respect does not - and will NEVER entail flamming - and Shimshon has noted this before, as it concerns comments he was responding to when it comes to insinuating personal discussion of posters/accusations. He can confirm this rather quickly as well.

BTW, i've been a MJ icon holder here since the beginning. I have never held nor do I know why I would ever hold a catholic icon. I am a born Jew who has never embraced mainstream Church ever, outside of a year spending time in a vineyard congregation trying to embrace that form of Christianity. That's the only Christian group i've ever spent time with. A 'Spirit' focused denom. lol

Again, very sorry to have misunderstood your complement to me. My bad, big time.
Spirit filled individuals and groups are rather amazing :)
