  • 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

This is my personal creed, which I have written as an attempt to capture the essence of my faith and to reaffirm it. When I think of my Christian belief, I can only think of its essence, the nucleus of the faith which drives it. In Christianity, I believe the nucleus of faith is the belief in love. Divine love - the complete, total and eternal giving of God, the Supreme Being, to us his children, his creation. We abide in God's love and it abides in us. Thus, inspired by the essence of Christian belief, I have written this creed for myself personally to reaffirm my belief in the Risen Christ who is the supreme revelation of divine love.

Theos ein agape
I believe in God who gives himself to us,
Completely,
Totally,
Eternally,
In every way imaginable and unimaginable,
In all completeness,
In love,
Love that reconciles us to himself,
Love that restores balance,
Love that transforms every atom of the cosmos,
The very love that drives the music of spheres,
And sets the stars ablaze.


It's a simple creed, one of personal significance. I encourage anyone reading this to post their own personal creed that best describes and reaffirms what you feel is special and essential about your belief.
