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.
Gideon has sinned. And the truth still stands regardless.

I reckon my old nature is dead and that I’m alive to Christ because I know that’s how God sees me. But when I belie that I have a mediator to take that to. He’s always been faithful to forgive me and send me away renewed. I’ve never, heard of Him saying ...go and do such and such to receive restitution. That’s just Greek to me. Or rather, very Roman.

Guys, I pray you do not mind if after saying a closing prayer over this mess of a thread I opened, that this thread has run its course.
I do so want to apologize for exposing my failure and making it public. My intent was to encourage others who may have decided they will take their stand of faith that IF they do slip, God is faithful to both forgive us and cleanse us and stand us up again and tell us again to BELIEVE the truth of who we are.
But in reading some of the responses, and given some time to reflect, I see that wisdom would be to confess to a trusted brother and then leave the error in the rear view mirror, with a lesson learned. I frankly did not consider that some honest seekers may throw up their hands and give up their quest to walk as an overcomer, thinking such a walk impossible.
I pray none have come to that conclusion, for as I tried to share in the title of the post, His truth still stands and His promises are still yea and amen, regardless of how well or how poorly I may be walking it out.
But either way, I cannot disagree that I seem to have made a mess of things and brought more division and contention, not less, and for that I truly apologize.
I want to thank all for their sharing here, no matter their point of view. It just cements the truth that we, through much tribulation, must enter the kingdom of God.
blessings to all,
Gideon
Lord, use this mess I have made for your glory. You have promised to make all things work together for good to those that love the Lord, so Father, trusting that to be true, I beseech you, let the results of this post bring good to all who have read it or participated in it. Thank you Lord. Amen.
