  • 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.

John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.

James 2:

1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, with partiality.

4 Are you not then partial in yourselves, and become judges of evil thoughts?

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,

You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;

9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in this one point, he is guilty of all.

********************************************************

2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those

who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and

comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

********************************************************

Matthew 18:

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying,

Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,

3 and said, Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted

and become as little children, you will by no means enter

the kingdom of heaven.


4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little

child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

1 Corinthians 1:

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe?

Where is the disputer of this age?

Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom

did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness

of the message preached to save those who believe.

*************************************************

1 Corinthians 2:

6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature,

yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age,

who are coming to nothing.

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,

the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages

for our glory,

8 which none of the rulers of this age knew;

for had they known,

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

**************************************************

1 Corinthians 3:

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise

in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,

that they are futile.”
