  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Morals? Who needs 'em?

Please read this and pray about it with me. I am thoroughly disgusted. Of course we don't really need this article to know these things, but it is a direct admittance to what the intent behind it is. Money. (Matthew 6:24)
Prayer is our best defense. I don't believe these shows will ever clean up their acts, but if we pray about it, less people will let it in their homes and less people will be corrupted or mislead by it. It is truly only a matter of time until pornography is allowed on these channels as well. (With all the nudity and sexual comments we aren't too far off now.)

This is NOT intended to be a debate.

Mixee.


Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Interesting article on the subject of taking the Lord's name in vain http://www.apuritansmind.com/Tracts%20and%20Writings/NameOfGodInVain.htm

So many verses, so little time...

We have recently gone through our disney movies and threw some out. Annie, the classic...Little orphan Annie sports Carol Burnett in lingerie and drunk staggering around, then towards the end the use of the Lord's name is taken in vain so we shut it off. Then you have the 'TV Guardian' it filters out offensive words...in Independance day it goes down from 83 offensive words to 2 offensive words, isn't that great?! NO! One offensive word is too many!! It's pretty pathetic actually. That article just really hit me. Still hits me.
I think the worst and saddest part is I expected more people to disagree with it than agree with it. That is how much us Christians seem to have blended into the world, at least from what I have been subject to. (See Signature) If I feel this way I can't imagine the anger and sadness that God is experiencing.

Sorry, Lord. :::hangs head in shame:::

I suppose this could force some of us into reading more, eh? Satan's plan backfires once again... ;)

Thanks for all your prayers on this subject.

Mixee. :)

The Television was not labeled the "idiot box" because it expands the intelligence of individuals. T.V. these days is nothing more than trash. There is the ocassional program that enlightens, I'm sure, but for the most part it degenerates the mind.

One must realize that the television is a box that portrays images on a screen that are not necessarily real. It is this distinction that one must constantly make when watching it. Somewhere down the road the difference between reality and fantasy is going to be skewed more than it is today. The television will be responsible for brainwashing entire generations when the few limits that are left are removed and a subsequent free-for-all comes to be.

27 major conglomerates control EVERYTHING you see or hear on American radio and television. That is a lot of control when you think about it.

Would you know any better if everything on T.V. and the radio reported that a nuclear missile was on its way to the U.S. to destroy us all?
War of the Worlds was not a far cry from what one day could become our reality and our demise.
