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.

The problem with a lot of people in the forums is that they lack the emotional ability to adjust to certain situations in their lives. So rather than confronting the problem, they come here and attack people instead. I've had it done to me when I posted a thread about learning to be blessed while being single. Let me give you this example: even though I pointed out how I used to complain and whine about being single, she still proceded to post extremely sarcastic, snide remarks and whatnot just because she felt I was making fun of everyone (which I wasn't and she KNEW I wasn't). THEN she said that she really didn't mean it and was just mad at the world (basically) and how I should never take anything she posts seriously. I was....worried about her, to say the least. 
Believe me, I wanted to bust her out and it would have been all too easy to do it, but I didn't because it's not what Jesus would have done. So it's just like Lamb said, sometimes you gotta just bite your tongue and keep silent.
So I think this may be one of the many problems with people here. They don't confront their problems out of cowardice and/or laziness, so they come here and attack other people here instead. It's not cool nor is it right.
Also, it really tickles me when some of ya'll up in here have this "I'm right, you're wrong!" attitude (especially when it comes to denomination debates). Let me tell you something and listen good: JESUS is the Truth. He was here well before any of us existed. So to say you're right really is irrelevant for the simple fact that you're only speaking about something that already is and was since the beginning of time. Therefore, it is much better to say "I'm telling the truth" rather than "I'm right!". You're not right, but He is.
Ok?
And perhaps some of us have forgotten that we are CHILDREN of God?

Since there are only 144,000 people on His list of really helpful people, the vast majority of Christians are people that He will not find helpful in his work.

but where do you think satan would rather be? Would he rather be with a bunch of non-christians who are already in his clutches or with a group of people claiming to be christians? I'd have to imagine he'd rather be working his 'magic' among those who believe they have a relationship with Christ. Seems to me, alot of people work against Christ here but that's just an opinion.

Catlover,
For sure there is work to be done on our heart land, by Faith in Christ!!!
By His Grace I can say~~
By Faith in action,....God through Christ is making us Just Like His Dear Son!!!
___________________________________________________________________
PONDER TIME:
~~~Did you know that using "sarcasm" is doing sacrifice to The Amorite Nation,.....it's Pride?
And that's a sacrfice to a demon. Say Yuck Yuck!!
Jesus said in very simple form that what's in our hearts (as certain things He had said about) is what defiles us: Those Nations on the land that God told Israel about as well.
SAME GOD!!!
We are,.....bowing down TO PRIDE--FLESH NATURE--and the ENEMIES ON THE Promised Land.
I'll explain as best as I have it so far by His Love through His Word and His Holy Spirt~
When we want to express a feeling we have, inside, but this feeling isn't very Godly, we tend to give permission for our flesh-nature to take over and we walk right in the enemies camp and go shopping--if you will.
We walk in their camp, that small area and it could even a tenny-tiny area in our heart where we grab the groceries what we need to some how make a point to others with. We walk right up to this area of in our heart and we say:
And then we pay him (PRIDE) for the 'sarcasm' that we take hold of: (WE MAKE A COVENANT).
And we then thank him for getting us out of the jam we felt we were in.
So we give our strength to Pride, to Satan. (BOWING DOWN TO HIM).
In all that, we have just given our lives over to Pride. Brothers/Sisters this ought not to be so, eh?
So what point did we really make due to our feelings?
An Amorite point is all we made, due to the feelings we had inside. We use it as a 'control' factor as well.
If we feel this way to even want to use sarcasm we must:
All by Faith in Christ:
DESTROY SARCASM IN YOUR LIFE.
BREAK THEIR IMAGES IN YOUR HEART.
CUT DOWN THEIR GROVES IN YOUR HEART.
If not , for one thing, those groves keep on producing within after their own kind.
Our Heavenly Father,....wants us to close the curtain on these bad bugs who so want
an expression through us.
Now here's the acid test:
Rom 8:13
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:(((Death will work in us every time))) but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (((Life will work out through us and in us every time))) KJV -----> PLEASE DON'T JUST SAY YOU DO THIS,.......LOOK TO SEE IF YOUR REALLY LIVING THIS!!!
If not........just turn softly back to Our Loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!
Each time we all,.....turn back to Him in areas of our lives....He always sits on a Throne of Grace towards us.......each and every time. HE SURE DOES!!!!
If God confirms this to your heart, then who GAINED YOU WAS GOD THROUGH HIS WORD.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.
ENTERING IN SABBATH DAY:
When we repent of 'sarcasm' and like: (Anger, Rage, Unforgiveness and much more - Who are Enemies on our Heart Land) we are removing (utterly putting to death Rom. 8:13-14) our own works of sin and entering into The Seveneth Day Rest of God in Christ. And we are proving to God that we are His son's and daughters. But yes .......they (the enemies on the land) must come to the surface,....in other words God alone is the only one who sets up the circumstances to bring the enemies on the land (pride-sarcasm, anger, rage and unforgiveness and the like) to being them before us so that we can utterly destroy them from off our heart-Land.
Get it.......somewhat?
Though I know this stuff from God's Word isn't understood over night....I've been studying this for 17 years now and only 2 years ago I feel that God has brought me alone finally to graps a glimps of this in His Word.
NO JOKE!!!
In His Peace
And taking my own land back for Our Daddy's dwelling place as He leads by His Spirit,
Connie

That depends on whether they rejected Christ or simply organized religion. It could easily be the case that the great majority of real and true Christians are repelled by all organized religions and only have a personal relationship with God. It could be that Satan loves dogma and theological abstractions and that in the Apocalypse all sects of Christianity are corrupted. Why else would He have to come back? If that is so then you would have it backwards, it would be the people in organized religions who are in Satans grasp and the people who are repelled by this who are with the Lord.OreGal said:
