  • 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.

John 21:5 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

I talk about this quite a bit, how every book in the world would not be enough to explain the Bible. So I did a study on just how many books that would be. Harvard University has 18 million books. The US Library of Congress has 32 million books. It is not unheard of for a library to have one million square feet. This is the size of 17 football fields. I remember I was at the trade center in Hong Kong and saws a room filled with buses about the size of a football field. I was amazed that so many buses took up a small part of that building. Even we are told in Heaven the library is MUCH bigger there than here. At least three times bigger. The angels have to get the book for us that we are looking for. We would not be able to find it ourselves.
