  • 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

Should we tolerate such disrespect of our holy book, or is it a valid form of expression? Also, is this a sign of things to come? Are we nearer the rapture? I for one know god' plan will see us believers through to heaven. I'm not sure what flushing bibles accomplishes, but there it is.

God Bless.

I think we should choose the third way which Jesus chose. We shouldn't retreat. We shouldn't fight back. we should turn the other cheek. Thats what Jesus did! That is the essence of following Jesus.

I'll be much more worried about the second coming when they start flushing Christians down the gutters.

Peace,

I agree if we don't give these people the satisfaction of getting angry then they will eventually fall away. That is satan's greatest line of attack, to make Christians get angry defending their Lord and in the process sinning in their anger. So if we just turn the other cheek then we may seem ignorant, but it will save me money on buying hair dye stopping my hair going grey with stress.

THis is as old as the Church itself. The Scripteres were outlawed by Rome. Post-Christian and anti-Christian cultures will do what they have always done.

We still have the Scriptures. God will keep them for His CHurch.

In Christ,
Kenith

The fact that Christianity has become one of the only groups that it is still politically correct to demean and attack is sometimes a bit difficult to take. But we need to remember the words of Jesus who said, "24"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
25"It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household."

Do you think that it would increase your ability to spread the Gospel if we reacted in a similar manner to the militant Muslims who kill anyone who demeans their faith? We already have those in this country that believe that the Muslims are more loving and tolerant than Christians despite their actions.

Scripture is the Word of G-d. No matter how much people try destroy the testimony of the Lord by burning the Bible, G-d's Word will go forth and triumph. The French philosopher Voltaire is reported to have said, "One hundred years from my day there will not be a Bible in the earth except one that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity seeker." Shortly after his death, his home was taken over by the Geneva Bible Society. Today, the room in which he did much of his writing is filled with stacks of Bibles.

Our holy book?

'The Bible' is nothing more than ink on paper, a convenient way to collect and access scripture, which is nothing more than a partial revelation of God that points to the full revelation of God.

The full revelation of God is through Jesus Christ and only through Jesus Christ.

What that website is doing has no bearing on the Christian pov. There is nothing the people running that site could do to bring disrepute to Christ.
