• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I love my hobby of embroidery. Germany did not start at the “final solution “ thus my concern of America starting down this path. Every action of this administration is opposite the teachings of Jesus.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but he isn't the worst thing either. You should rest more easily, because most likely you are buying into extreme anti-right hate ideology being preached by the mainstream media. Deporting people who should not legally be here certainly does not approach the actions of Nazi Germany, those are efforts to dehumanize people on the right. In any case, it is far preferable to the last administration's throwing open the borders to allow anyone and everyone into the country to overwhelm and destroy Western culture (like Europe is experiencing). A few more terms of that and we won't even have a country anymore, we will have handed it off to intruders. Thankfully, Trump has closed the border at least.

With the anniversary of Auschwitz having just past and the stories of the sins committed by the Germans and seeing America starting down that same path, I cannot help but wonder where the divide between salvation and damnation was and is. The spectrum is between those actively committing the sins , those supporting the actions, those knowing of the actions but remaining silent , those with a clue but working hard to ignore the sins they know in there hearts their government is committing thru those pointing out the wrongs to those actively and dangerously working to stop the sins. At some point in a nation becoming completely sinful there must be a collective guilt? We know Jesus instructed us to be aware of the suffering of others.

In what way is “America starting down that same path” as Nazi Germany?

It's one thing to say that actions are whatever they are but it's sensationalist and inaccurate to compare them in the way you did because a) it's not true b) it's disrespectful for the reasons mentioned.
