• 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.

  • 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

I've tried to be Levitically and Deutronomically obedient by not mixing fabrics. I managed to find pure cotton socks without any nylon or acrylic. The problem is I never could bring myself to give up elastic. To be Biblically compliant, I would have to walk around with droopy socks.:cry:

:swoon:
Have you no faith...? do you not believe the Lord could satisfy your need to avoid droopy socks?

Seriously.. what was this thread about? Oh forcing morality. I think somewhere early in this thread I said something vaguely sensible about it... just to keep on topic and all...

I vote this the worst post of 2008! :sigh:

"Not to hand out punishments???" Que?

You really haven't paid attention to the Word of God. Seriously.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. --Romans 13[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]<<<PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD; READ THIS>>>[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Please stop trying to destroy what GOD has said!!![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Just listen to HIM and you will do alright.[/FONT]

Governments exist in order to exicute God's punishments?

points SoF has made so far -

No Free Will! we should be FORCED to make the 'right' decisions!

God has the authority of the law, which includes promoting Usury(charging interest on loans), capital punishment, and abortion.

SoF would like to see all homosexuals and sinners dead by the hands of the state.
