  • 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

No tribe has the right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers... Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Didn't the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy; <-----> 1st Timothy 6:17

What is a man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.

Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. <-----> Psalm 28:5

Only a small fraction physically, but sense a strong spiritual tie on some issues, like being environmentally considerate, and seeking harmony with God's creation, even though it weighs upon us some via the curse of disobedience.

I'm not sure, I just found out last year. I guess it is really far back, I would have to look into it to see if I can find out anything.

Despite knowing how hard people had to suffer, I think everything happens for a reason... would the world be as connected as it was now if they didn't shake us awake?

Yea, like when Joseph was wrongfully sold into Egypt as a slave, his envious brothers meant it for evil, but God worked it for good !

If God allows it, He will also turn it into something good ! Otherwise He wouldn't allow it !

But evil doers beware ! He will not justify wickedness, or those who continue therein !

I always just refer to Isaiah 45:7

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Evil, in this case, is often said to actually translate to 'calamity'... anyway lol yeah, I believe everything, I mean everything, happens for a reason. :)

I figured you might know off hand, but, if you're not sure it's not that big of a deal :)

I have so many different nationalities, it seems like almost every year I find out something new in my background from relatives. :/

I'm a mixture of Cree (which is actually Ojibwe) and Saulteaux. My tribe, the 'First Nation' I actually belong to is said to be where many of tribes travelled to from all around us to meet; they uncovered a fairly large 'medicine wheel' made out of rocks where they all used to gather not too long ago - anyway, this all translates to it being some sort of sacred ground or something.

I don't really know that much about my own ethnicity and heritage (it's not that interesting to me), and being raised a Christian in the city away from even the urban Natives here kept me at a pretty large distance from even them lol when I did go visit family on the First Nation I'm from we'd only visit my Uncle and Grandpa (both pretty well off), and we'd just chill on their ranch and ride horses. They made sure we weren't allowed to hang out with all the other Natives as well.
