  • 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.

God has triumphed over evil and we serve out of rest. But there is still evil in the world, although by declaring Jesus Christ our savior, we have secured ourselves as sinless children of God. We are supposed to fight evil, we are supposed to defend each other. We are supposed to be waging a war on the powers of sin and suffering, but God has already won and in that we find strength.
Many people "declared" Jesus as their Savior, but denied Him with all their thoughts, lives, words, and actions. They remain condemned , in darkness, on the wide road to destruction.
