• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

For man, to forgive is not to forget; it is to remember it differently.

To forgive is to know a thing as part of a whole that is just.

There can be no forgiveness without justice, not for God and not for us.

God had mercy on me until He forgave me.

Only after justice had beed served upon Jesus did Jesus say " Father, forgive them ... ".

There can be no forgiveness without justice.

So I ask myself, is what justified me with God going to satisfy my sense of justice when others wrong me?
Is the justice served upon Jesus on the cross enough for me to forgive them?
It was enough for God to forgive me.
