  • 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

Hola. I am living in south america since I married someone from here two years ago. I originally come from Illinois in the USA. I have only my wife to really talk to here. No one else speaks english well enough to say anything more than pleasantries. I long for some meaningful conversations about faith and what that means for people including myself that think like Martin Luther King did who said, "the church should not be the master, nor the slave to the state, but its conscience". So I believe my faith and others faith is vital to good government and the living of all since government cannot be isolated from out lives in that one of its major functions is defense and what greater sacrifice is there than to be giving your life or your childrens lives away for a war that government might deem necessary. Molech demanded the Canaanites give their children as sacrifice and atonement great blasphemy to the Israelites, so those who might say politics and governing are unimportant I would say to them sometimes they demand you give your life to them just as the above example shows the wrong headed canaanites did to Molech. In matters of life and death governments matter, but faith matters even more read Acts 5.29 to see.

I am glad to have discovered this site. Hope I will be allowed to share my mind and heart with others. So far my sharing what I know with others has been with the secular world which does not accept me much but at least hears what I say. But I refuse to just sit back and curse the darkness instead I will light a candle of understanding

Welcome. How many Lutherans in your area?
Where I live in Argentina no Lutherans I can find mostly all catholics. In bloomington Illinois where I came from lots Lutherans. My grandparents came from Norway and that is a country with a lot of Lutherans hence that is my background.
