  • 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.

Merry Christmas, C&E!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Don't forget: JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

If you do, you may just spend the rest of your life going around looking for evidence of God's existence.

Happy and merry late Christmas AV! I just saw this, that is why it is belated. Sorry...

Happy and merry early New Year too! I hope you (and everyone) had and will have a wonderful time filled and always full of love, peace, safety, fulfillment, health and enjoyment.:happyblush:

By the way, are you a veteran? Just wondering because of your username. I have a lot of military family. My parents had me when they were quite a bit older. So my dad was even in Vietnam. When he made it back that's when he "got Jesus."

Yes.

Vietnam Era veteran.

Served on Guam January 1973 - May 1976.

Ya ... I picked AV1611, since I'm a KJVO; and I picked VET because I was a Navy man.

Good for you!

And I salute each and every one of them!
Motherofkittens said:

My dad was 49 when I was born, and mom was 38!

She claims she carried me 11 months before I was born!

Praise the LORD for your dad!

I got back in 1976, and was saved in December of 1981.

I pray you all have a safe, prosperous, and enlightening New Year! :)

Get outta here AV! My dad was 49 and my mom 38 when they conceived me too! Haha, what a coincidence. I don't know when my dad got back from Vietnam. My parents are very religious so mostly just talk about their faith. For reference I was supposed to memorize the whole Bible but I don't even know the names of my grandparents or most of my aunts and uncles or basic information like that. They believe in the "we are of the world, but are not part of it" and try to minimize all contact with people who aren't part of their Church community. It is strange to know so little about my extended family and my parents before their conversion. The little I do know wasn't even directed towards me. I overheard it when they were witnessing to other people.

Yikes! The only one I know of who has that distinction is Jack Van Impe.

Yes! Most people I know don't have parents having kids at that age and the ones that do are both around the same age. Do you have lots of siblings too? I'm about the middle-ish child of 17 kids.

I didn't actually memorize the whole thing. I was just suppose to. I did know quite a bit though, mostly from the New Testament, but I have forgotten a lot of it now. I have memory problems.
