  • 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.

I have a friend in late 30s now, he is a kind hearted and generous guy,just recently i discovered he had connection with some triad groups secretly, and it seems he refuses to get out of that cuz money etc, and he seems to be a small head of that ,even.
I tried to influence his minds about God.
He said he knew what is correct way of life, but he had gone too far away , and very hard to get back.
He came from a christian family, but his dad died early, his mom married another , and he left home when he was a teen ,he worked in different cities and now he had his own company, but complicated background.
His life is a shock for me, cuz he looks like a real nice guy, and i still have compassion for him.
I still want to help him, but dont know how....

(He is a man who fears nothing,he does not feel he is stuck, he feels very good about his present life.
He also does not feel i m a positive influence, he does not feel he needs God now. Although deep down he knows his father mother's belief is correct.)
