  • 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.

Gossip

Rom 1:29 "They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips"

Pr 11:13 "A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret."

Pr 20:19 "A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much."

Pr 25:9 "If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man’s confidence"

Pr 17:9 "He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends."

Woman are particularly prone to gossiping. Thus they are to be kept busy being useful and productive else "they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not." 1Tim 5:13

Among other things, Gossips violate one's God-given right to privacy
