  • 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

you can quote me from these posts if you like, illl be watching this thread, at least until school starts up again.

Oh, and i am openly pro secular music. often one of my examples (though not my main philosophy on the subject, just found this amusing) of this is that nearlly all the original Protestant and Catholic hymns were made to the tunes of German and english drinking songs, so everyone would know the tunes.

So what are your opinions? I believe that listening to the secular charts can be deadly for your spirit..........What do you think?
You are very right about that - hopefully as Christians we are selective in what we listen to. Garbage in = Garbage out.;)

I think a good guideline Scripture wise is -

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I've learned Christians can make good art and they can also make bad art AND so can non-Christians. There is plenty of good secular stuff out there - hopefully we are able to enjoy what is good and disregard the rest ! ;)
