  • 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

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Should we ever stop asking?

... is 'rude' the same as abrupt, abusive, bad-mannered, barbarian, barbaric, barbarous, blunt, boorish, brusque, brutish, cheeky, churlish, coarse, crabbed, crude, curt, discourteous, graceless, gross, gruff, ignorant, illiterate, impertinent, impolite, impudent, inconsiderate, insolent, insulting, intrusive, loutish, low, obscene, offhand, peremptory, raw, savage, scurrilous, short, surly, uncivil, uncivilized, uncouth, uncultured, uneducated, ungracious, unmannerly, unpolished, unrefined, unkind , not nice, impolite, disrespectful, vulgar, wild all rolled into one ?

... can one apologise for being rude , or is it intrinsic , incurable or a condition of normality today in this world from copying others ?

.... is it rude not to accept an apology even if it is impossible for most to stop being rude yet ?

... can there be any end to questioning except the Truth of God about Love , when folks finally stop being rude?

2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. [righteousness being simply to be loving, keeping God's law of love ?]

... can many even believe in this in our very rude world of modern mockery of 'civilisation' when rudeness [hidden behind a front of mock humility and politeness] is the essence of uncivilised normal man of today ?

Rev 13:3 ... and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

--- Is it not a fundamental rudeness that most men think this way, that whoever is the biggest bully with the strongest army and the best weapons is worthy of worship, is said to be right, is said even to have 'God on their side' , which is a blasphemy because God is no bully , but love incarnate and Spirit of Truth of being ? ---

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Is this not the reality few now accept :-

" 1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. " ?

Is it not so christening oil can be poured on your head and your cup overflow at the sheer joy of discovering that Love is greater to save everyone than the power of sin to corrupt , thus stealing all the thunder of your enemies and turning them into friends ?

[Psalms 23:5]
