  • 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.

How common is this sort of thing in charismatic churches?

I'd really rather God didn't tell me "because in 35 years you're going to get liver cancer and though you won't know it, this will help you cope" when I ask "why".......

It is so sad to see such comments written by a believer.
I would suggest that you actually "know" God rather than try and "second guess" Him

I do know him, thanks. That's why I know I can trust him with my life without being so insecure that I think my physical comfort is a good guage of how blessed I am.
