• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

I was over in some mod staff forum where they are discussing these problems in public, it's a crappy way to handle things.

I agree with NG in dealing with the militant homos and abortionists~if they come as seekers it's one thing, when the come as militants then they get what they get, and having us grovel at them is pure crap, don't give a rat's who you are.

Ephesians 4
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.


Colossians 4:6
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

1 Peter 3
15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander


What others do should not make a difference to how we speak to and respond to people. We are speaking of our brothers and sisters in Christ here - we may have disagreements on many issues, but they love Jesus as much as we do. And if their behaviour is less than perfect, I for one am not qualified to throw the stone...

EDIT - sorry - this is off topic - forgot what the thread was supposed to be about!

Julio,

You are my brother in Christ and I love you. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. You zealousness for Christ is an asset to you, but you are not going to get people to listen to you by chastising them. People are funny that way. People, for the most part, are sure that what they think is the right thing. Julio, we have been in some down in the dirt discussions in debate sections of this website. You know that what I am saying is right. Some people come here to show what they know instead of trying to learn.

Look, all of us here at CC have supported you. We agree with your message and we elected you as mod because we agreed with your message. You would not have stood a chance otherwise. The problem is not the message but the way the message is delivered. There is a difference between putting the message out there and pushing the message. People don't respond to push but some of them night actually read and ponder. Those are the ones that we need to reach. The others will either figure it out eventually or they won't. But is you do your part, no one can say that the message was not delivered. Jesus told the apostles to do exactly that. Those that listened became part of His church and those that didn't the apostles shook the dirt off their sandals.

Julio, blaming the staff and this site is not the answer. We need people with the right message to fight for what is right. We need you to understand that what you are experiencing is not personal but something that you have to work on. We are here to offer you ALL of our support.

Ok, I've said enough, now is up to you.

Your brother in Christ
Henry
