  • 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.

Hello! There is a scripture which says 'They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him' (Titus 1:16). God Bless :)

Thanks!

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

It says there you cannot love both God and the things of this World.

The two goes against each other. God says we must love each other. But love isn't just feelings, emotions, and prayers. We also must DO something for our brothers and sisters. Loving the things of the words comes at a great cost and if you do love the things of this world, you won't have left for our brothers and sisters. If you can't love our brothers and sisters in Christ, then you do not love the Lord. (Whatever you do unto the least of your brothers and sisters, you do unto Me - Matthew 25:40)

If you have nothing to give, then you don't love God. Giving only a small % of what you earn doesn't count. Even tithes are not enough. Tithes are only for the church. Even Pharisees give tithes. Would you really limit / cap what you give to someone you truly love?
