  • 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

Laws do not judge character. Laws judge acts.

Which is exactly my point. As Jesus pointed out in Matthew 5:28 it's actually lust that's the sin, but the law can't tell what's in a person's heart and so it judges them according to the act alone, and not according to what's in their heart. Homosexuality is thus universally condemned because of the act itself, regardless of whether that act was born out of lust or love. Therein lies the law's flaw... it cannot judge hearts. But God can, and hopefully the members of His church can, and it's this ability to judge people by what's in their heart that allows divorced people and homosexual people to be welcome in God's church.
