  • 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.

My name is Joe. I am a life long Texan and I am 71 years old.
I have been a Christian believer for almost 40 years. I began more in-depth
studies of the bible about 12 years ago but to tell the truth my wanting to
fully apply myself to living by what I knew to be right according to
God`s Word and learning to love our Creator with all my heart is
not as old as my entry in to the Christian Faith. Father has been so very
good to me, in any wise, and the wonderful things he has shown me are
not to be kept under the old bushel. I hope to contribute to this gathering
of God`s children and receive the same blessing from all who seek God and
His Wisdom. I firmly believe that we each as individual children of God must
prove what we believe for ourselves from the Word that our Father has preserved
for us. It is a most wonderful thing that our God has given us His Spirit to lead us
in the truth. I can say with all sincerity that I have believed things that I thought
were true only to find out later that I had been off base. I also believe that a large
part of our Christian brothers and sisters let themselves believe every thing they
are taught with out checking it out in Father`s Word which is a dangerous position
to be in. I am thankful though that our great God`s Plan will allow have each one of us
to thoroughly and fully understand the truth before we are judged. That is the fairness
of our Creator on which I rely. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this work.
