• 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.

For lent...

I don't decorate myself with religious iconography.

If I want to make an impression on the public, I'll carry a 1611 KJB under my arm just to see their expressions.

ETA: On second thought, I do wear ties that make statements. :/

JERUSALEM

The bible, especially the kjv, has become an idol and icon for many.

Why are you a zionist? Israel has done some pretty disgusting stuff.

Oh, please.

It's our Standard for faith and practice.

I'm not going to dignify this with a response.

For lent, this year I am not going to participate in creation/evolution debates. It's hard for me to remember how much I have in common with creationist Christians when all I do is focus on their creationism.

Lent starts March 5 and continues until April 17.

In that time I hope to focus on what I do have in common with creationist believers. :thumbsup:

Don't worry - I'll b back April 18, still an evolutionist. Still a Christian.

That's commendable of you, quite the test I would say. Good Luck to you :thumbsup:

I will give up Skiing for lent. :D
