• 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.

Jabez haters better understand this.

We must test all things

And becareful not to fall into the trap of "Fads"....

I have no problem with teaching on the prayer of Jabez and learning what we can. But we should not put additional spiritual strength on scripture where really IMO none was intended.

If I have offended anyone with the tone of my post I apologise. I post my position as my view on the book and its theology. The merchandise spin offs are tangential and do not concern me. I pray that if I have offended anyone by my tone (not content) that one forgives me so that I do not do so again.

??Huh??

Even though some may not agree with your post, I don't think anyone could say it was offensive and mean-spirited.  If that's as mean 'n nasty as you get, you're just fine.

Your thread was your honest opinion, very well thought out, and very succinct.

Your okay SP!
