  • 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.

Well, I don't know about ya all but I love this model for Jesus. That's how I see Him, hangin' out with the people. He is not afraid to get dirty and does not have "a holier than thou" attitude, although He has every right to! He looks kinda "banged up," but is lovin' everybody. Jesus still bears the wounds in His hands, feet and side doesn't He? See what I mean?

Also, I really appreciate the ethnicity in this picture.

i love you!! and this is no way a critism of you or this post i just want to point out that JESUS is always with you; you can talk with HIM anytime and HE wants to talk with you!! Also JESUS is especially present in all Catholic churches and most of them are always open so you can go there to visit HIM if you are having trouble feeling HIS presence.

i also understand the specialness of Sunday the oportunity to worship HIM with others. (i am so glad i am catholic cause i can and do worship HIM with others daily

no offense taken to your post. I am glad that He is always with me, and it feels good to know that He is there. I just get so excited when I see that He is also with others as well.

In response to the OP...

I think I would be speechless. I know sometimes THINKING about Him makes me that way. I can't imagine just sitting there on a bench NEXT to him. I would feel secure and probably loved. That alone would make me feel odd because life in general leaves me mostly feeling insecure and unloved. I suppose if I could talk I would apologize alot for being an idiot most of the time and making Him feel unloved.

And He, in turn, would probably cover you with a thosaund kisses and hugs and show you His wounded hands and feet amd most of all His wounded Heart. You are precious, precious, absolutely precious to Him! :kiss: Hey! He is sitting next to you right now. Why not accept that fact, believe in His love and forgiveness and give Him a great big "thank you!" Don't you think it would make Him so happy that you acepted His gift? I'm sure you do accept His gift.:D

Jesus, I just praise You today because You died for my sin and You rose again from the dead You are now praying for us and gave Your Holy Spirit to enpower us to live for you.

Jesus may we be assured that You are with us always and may we always seek after You with our whole hearts.

Please forgive me for sharing the following, but I want to Praise Jesus for helping me.

It has been 10 days now since the power and love of Jesus set me free from a certain sin and I have returned to Jesus, my first love. I am beginning to know Jesus in a way I've not known Him before and I just want to encourage any who need to know the hope that Jesus gives and share with others that they can experience the love and forgiveness of Jesus in the same way. I know for a long time I was not living as Jesus wanted even I was going to church on a regular basis.

Now I can honestly say I love being with Jesus and love to be in His presence. And my desire is to encourage others to come to Jesus again and experience His love and power. If you need any encouragement in your christian walk, please feel free to pm me and i'll certainly pray and encourage you in anyway I can.

Karen
