  • 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

I apologize to everyone for my posts. I am new to the sight and I didn't know how to click that arrow at the top right to see peoples reaction. I probably would have stopped after my first post if I knew of the negative remarks I received back. If anyone felt I judged them I am sorry but for those of you who sent me back negative remarks didn't you judge me. I just have a different understanding of what can happen from listening to secular heavy metal. I do have problems with trying to figure out how not to judge others but at the same time bring attention to sin. Not to focus on someones sin because I sin as well. Does anyone have advice on how to approach this topic.
Romans 12:9 says Love must be sincere, Hate the evil, stick to what is good. We are supposed to help each other grow from our mistakes but we have to do it in a non-jugemental way. I have grown from the feedback I have received even though a majority of the responses were negative. Aren't negative responses judgemental. Where do we draw that fine line of where to step over the line to mention sinful actions. When it says hate the evil it means hate the sin but to love the person. I care about everyone and just because anyone isn't experiencing what I went through doesn't mean it can't happen. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Can someone please let me know how we as Christians are allowed to justify sinful lyrics. I just don't get it.
Once again I apologize and please forgive me for my heart has only been into Christianity for 2 months. I didn't realize that I was hurting your feelings. There will always be things that are right for some Christians and wrong for others and vice versa. Now that I know this I will not post any more judgemental threads on secular music. It is your choice what to listen to. I will pray that no one opens a gateway because if you do you will remember these posts. Good luck to everyone.

Don't apologize. Never apologize for your opinon. A forum is a place where you can voice your opinon with others who may or may not share your same thoughts. Just understand that there will be people who do not agree with you, some more vicious in expressing that than others.

I don't know what you're hoping to accomplish, but talking with people is a whole lot more effective than talking at them. You've had ample opportunity to talk with a lot of people over the last week and I think a lot of people wanted the opportunity to talk with you. If the forum software is the problem, take time and learn it or ask for help.
