  • 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.

I believe evolution is an absolute lie of the devil.
I believe that Creationism is an absolute lie of the devil.

However, people believe this because they are under the power of the devil. They WANT evolution to be true so that they can satisfy in their own hearts that their is now God and so that they don't have to obey Him. This is what alot of science is based on - an agenda to discredit Christianity so that people can be comfortable with their sins.
Thank you for telling me what I believe and what I want.

Creationists believe this because they are under the power of the devil. They WANT Creationism to be true so they can feel good about themselves that they don't come from no monkey. This is what Fundamentalism is based on - an agenda to discredit Christianity so that people will think being a Christian means you must give up on rational thought.

However, as a servant of God, I will do my best to love. Hate, pride, and condemnation are things that we have to be eternally vigilant about as
Christians. Yes, we have the truth, but we must have love for the lost. Sometimes, I find myself hating and judging these people because they are teaching a lie, when really I should be loving them because they will be going to hell without Jesus. My hope is that those who do not believe in Jesus will come to believe in the truth and be saved. May God
This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.. (sniff) .. Thank you! :wave:
