  • 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

Shocking... but necessary.

Yes, that's at the bottom of all this, "freedom".
What they want freedom from tho, is RESPONSIBILITY and consequence.
This runs as a mainline in that entire party.

We have people claiming Christ who want people to provide legal freedoms for homosexuals to get married! :doh: It's all about being free to live immorally and bypass God's design for humanity.
I view it as direct rebellion to God's creative structure.

We can live in fornication - just kill the mistake & the consequence goes away.

As to what I highlighted, I learned that about this party LONG ago - there's no allegience even to the party's own directives & platform; they'll hypocritically do what they claim they're against in order to get what they want.
(ie. they demand free speech --- until it's speech they hate, then they'll work to get laws in place to force radio stations to manditorily preach the opposite views in a so called "FAIRNESS" act.
pure hypocrisy. - but it accomplishes their goal to force a sort of silence over their opponents on the radio!!! They don't CARE that it violates free speech of those who differ from them and who want to deliver a message they so choose
:doh: :doh:).
The means to the final outcome aren't much cared about as long as they get the outcome they desire at that particilar time.

This is the usual problem - we claim "rights" that aren't ours to have.
We don't have "reproductive" rights, do we?
I'm speaking within Christianity - not secularly. What 'right' do we have to take a life just becuz it's inside us & within our control?:confused: It's US who did what it takes to produce that offspring - at that point, the infant has rights that we automatically gave it as a human when we brought it into this world thru our actions.

(nevermind they're usurping God's rights as Creator who caused the conception in the first place; nothing is happenstance)

& since the abortionists cannot prove when the soul arrives in the body/ cells (or whatever excuse of a term they want to conjure up to dismiss murder), then they cannot prove it's NOT a viable, living being at ANY stage.

I've known Dawn for a few years now and I'm going to take her advice - my printer is done. Thank you Nadiine! I need larger letters also, size 3 is good.

It's good to see you again, JIR! :hug: I hope your garden grew well this year. Why don't you start a thread about it and post some pictures. Per your advice, I had my hubby build a raised-bed garden. :thumbsup:

I dunno, alot of them read this board & will probly see this thread.

Unfortunately as I observe liberalism, it seems people's rights trump what is evil so that it really doesn't matter what right & wrong are, as long as you're "free" to do it.

:o

That is certainly how the secular world is, and i might also say a majority of professing Chrisitans are like that too, including many groups on this forum.

It always makes me sad to read Christians who believe that a sin is only something that harms another person. :cry: They have no idea the harm they are causing themselves as well as anyone who listens and believes them.

EVERY sin hurts Jesus Christ. EVERY sin nails him to that cross.

I believe that a Christian will know sin is sin becuz God wrote it for them in His word and His Holy Spirit convicts all people; lost AND saved of sin.
The saved especially.

Who is man to decide what harm is when he can't even SEE into the spiritual realms God is privy to - to know what evil is and why its forbidden.
Worse, they DO see & know the harm fornication causes & many other obvious sins people participate in freely - but it doesn't stop them any even AFTER seeing harm.

These types of people have become their own moral judges & gods. Deciding right and wrong based on tainted sin nature they posess.

I think they DO know sin is sin - they're outright rebelling. & I question that fruit because it's ungodly

As tough as this video was for everyone to view, I think that there is a consensus... All that actually viewed it were affirmed in why they stand strong for Life. We do not take this stand for political reasons, whatsoever! We take this stand for Biblical reasons! We have got to be staunch in this stand - not wishy-washy. We have got to have the heart of William Wilberforce who did not relent in his pursuit to have the practice of slavery overturned (which at the time seemed totally impossible). Together we as Christians can, by the power and wisdom of God - get this horrific practice overturned. We will be called uninformed, cruel and a host of other things, but we must stand for life!
