  • 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

Many answers and double or third witness in the proverbs :)

I love them too, all His Word

proverbs 12 10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Psa 71:4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.


paul was comparing men as beasts here
the carnal mind is like an animal in nature 1Cr 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Strong's G4559 - sarkikos 1) fleshly, carnal
a) having the nature of flesh, i.e. under the control of the animal appetites
1) governed by mere human nature not by the Spirit of God
2) having its seat in the animal nature or aroused by the animal nature
3) human: with the included idea of depravity
b) pertaining to the flesh
1) to the body: related to birth, linage, etc
