  • 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.

Big things are made up of little ones, and we are called to learn in small things how to be good stewards over the large.

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. <-----> Job 8:7

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. <-----> Matthew 25:21+23

Neither the wise nor the foolish know anything for sure, but the wise prudently considers consequence, while the foolish impudently carries on...

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow) <-----> Job 8:9

A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, and is confident. <-----> Proverbs 14:16

Since it is The Lord's choosing and not man's which really matters, we are wise to consider how The Lord chooses whom He chooses.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. <-----> John 15:16

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. <-----> Job 22:29

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. <-----> 1st Peter 5:5

To be religious means The Truth is not God but the minds of men is!


Jeremiah 8:8

&#8220;&#8216;How can you say, &#8220;We are wise,
for we have the law of the LORD,&#8221;
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?

The truly religious fear God, while the pseudo-religious fear man.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. <-----> Luke 12:4+5

Wherefore the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: <-----> Isaiah 29:13

Even as long is the opposite of short, what we desire in the short-term is often contrary to what we would have in the long-run.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. <-----> 2nd Peter 1:4-9

If (with The Lord's help), we do put our old sinful ways behind us, they'll come a day when we are no longer associated with any of them.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. <-----> Isaiah 1:16-18

True religion is to love the lost and hurting other in need of love and acceptance!

James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Our acts are only as profitable, as our spirit is pure.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing. <-----> 1st Corinthians 13:3

Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? <-----> Zechariah 7:4-6

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. <-----> 1st Corinthians 10:31

Scorners assume like villainy, but the benevolent draw upon heavenly inspiration.

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. <-----> 1st Corinthians 15:47+48

Two wrongs don't make a right, but two negatives do equal a positive...as in "not bad".

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. <-----> Romans 12:9

or.....

Two wrongs don't make a right, but two negatives do certainly result in a positive charge!

A positive x a positive = a positive

A negative x a negative = a positive

But a negative x a positive and a positive x a negative = a negative

And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; <-----> Leviticus 10:10

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. <-----> Ezekiel 22:26

Positive and a positive - Really good

negative and a negative - Not bad

Positive and a negative - Really bad

Negative and a positive - Not good

... Strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. <-----> Hebrews 5:14
