  • 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

Rule No. 1

Rule No. 1 - No "Flaming"

1) You will not post any messages that harass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest. This will include misquoting another member out of context. You may discuss another member's beliefs but there will be no personal attacks on the member himself or herself. This includes implied accusations that another member is not a Christian. - christianforum.com /

Would Jesus be accepted here if he were to post a message that people would be "insulted" by? He told people they were hypocrites [Mt15:7], snakes [Mt23:33], a brood of vipers [Mt23:34], evil [Mt7:11], and that they belong to their father, the devil [John 8:42-47]. So would the Lord Jesus Christ be allowed to post messages in this way? Would he be warned not to? Would he eventually not be allowed to post messages? And if christianforum.com would allow him to say these things and rebuke people the way he did, would we be allowed to, also? Thanks.

Luke 11:45
One of the experts in the law answered him, "Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also." /NIV
Matthew 15:12
Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"
John 6:61
Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?
