  • 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

On this night...

...of all nights, we are all Christians together. So let us put aside our philosophical and theological differences, wish each other the happiest of celebrations, and consider what we are going to do, come the new year, to make this world more like a world Jesus could be proud of.

Peace and Love, 2RM.

Dear 2ndRateMind. You made a lovely proposition, and Jesus showed us how to follow it. In Matthew 22: 35-40: Jesus told a Lawyer:" The first and great Commandment is: " Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it: Love thy neighbour as thyself." Then Jesus gave us this strong fact: " On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." We just cannot go wrong here, if we follow our Lord `s first class advice. We start treating all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends, we start treating them as we would love to be treated; kindly and always with friendly words. God will see our sincere efforts, and God will Bless us. ( Matthew 7: 7-10:) We ask God for Love and Joy, then thank God,
and share all Love and Joy with our neighbour. We keep asking and thanking God, then share all Love and Joy with our neighbour. People around us will notice, and will treat us the same as we treat people. Love is very catching, and before long, Love will guide and change us into the men and women, which God wants us to become. Jesus our Saviour will help and guide us:
JESUS IS THE WAY.
What a difference this will make to this imperfect world, and with God our Heavenly Father on our side, Who or What can be against us? We might stumble and forget at times, but then we " ask God and thank God, and share all Love and Joy with our neighbour". We are following Jesus`s advice,
and do what God wants from us. " Love and Obey," is what God wants from us,
and can we imagine the difference this Loving Advice from God and Jesus will make? I say this with love, 2ndRateMind. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.
