  • 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

How to punish sinners?

King David stole Uriah's wife after he mudered him. There were 4 curses that came true.

1. Murder was a constant threat in his family.
2. His household rebelled against him
3. His wives were given to others in public view.
4. His first child with Bathsheba died.

David got caught up in his own pride and felt as if he was high and mighty for all that he had accomplished in his previous days. If he knew what the ultimate punishment for his sins would have been he probably would not have done it. That is why we have to be careful not to become self-righteous or develop to much pride and greed do to the successes that we have in life thanks to the grace that Jesus has given us.

Peace, Love, and Joy to all.
