• 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.

That's about the size of it
So how did the college ORIGINALLY want them to be treated when they called the meeting? You said gays were supposed to get special treatment, yet didn't get it. what was the original plan?

You've got no idea what your talking about. You didn't go deeper you went to what is untrue. I'll leave it at that since this is an advice forum and not a debate forum and this has already probably gone further than it should.
I am giving advice. And there is no debate here because I am not getting any advice, just ridicule, in return.

Quoting me, refuting my statements then pointing to scripture to support your statements is debate, not advice.

My initial response to you was intended to be light hearted and funny, yet true at the same time, however you went and took it to the extreme.

Extreme is yet to come for those who have unconditional faith; for they will face all their fears, and come to know their own truth. Those who don't, fear picking up their cross.

The person who knows their own truth, knows more about a person who does not know their own truth.

I know the bible says "Honor and your father and mother" and basically to submit to higher authority (Boss at work, a teacher at school) But is it wrong to question something they say, stand up for yourself, if you know its wrong?

Tough call and when I was working I used to jump on the mistakes made by the ones in authority.

As I look back I wish that (at least) half of those times I would have kept my mouth shut, for it all really didn't matter.

Was I just out to prove them wrong and make them look stupid? I don't know but, sometimes being quiet is the best.

12 years of marriage and I have learned a lot by watching my wife. A Christian lady that lets most all drama flow by without making any comments.

The Bible has a lot to say regarding the tongue.
I fight with this daily.

Have no idea, I left the meeting and came back when that part was over.
