  • 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.

Have you ever wondered why CHRISTIANS ignore God? Take for instance the bible sayes don't lie. Yet even christians may consider "white lies" to be ok. We need to stop chosing what we will follow and what we won't. God is not pleased with this kind of half heart. Sin is sin, no levels of degree to it!

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." 1 John 1:10

Yes, we all sin. No, we should not try to justify it. We should all pray about everything we do and say - "Unceasingly pray" 1 Thes 5:17
We each should take the logs out of our own eyes before worrying about the splinters in the eyes of others.

Where has the honesty gone ?

Christians don't ignore God !

Anyone ignoring God isn't being a Christian .

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. <-----> Psalm 138:2

It's time to put the Truth of God's Word above the fondness for calling ourself by His Name .

We are all human beings for whom Christ died and rose from the dead .

Any one who follows Jesus' Spirit and Instruction is Christian .

Any one who ignores Him , is unchristian .

And for those of us who waffle , the best we can honestly say is that we're becoming Christ-like , as The Lord molds and refines us by His Spirit .

Can't we respect Christ's Name enough that we cease associating Him with carnality and ungodliness ?

If not , then all our profession is an abomination in His Sight .

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. <-----> Ezekiel 22:26

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! <-----> Isaiah 5:20

These are things sown in the seat of conviction , judge for yourself if they are from The Father of Lights .

Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
<-----> James 1:16+17

And all sin is not alike ...

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
<-----> 1st John 5:16+17

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? ..........
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
<-----> Jeremiah 7:9,10+16

And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words...........
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
<-----> Jeremiah 11:9,10+14

May The Name of The Lord be Revered , through hearkening unto His Word .
