• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

As we all are trying to understand the end times prophecies, least we get too upset with each other when we disagree in our discussions, let us remember the first priority in life is to seek first the kingdom of God.

Excellent point to make my Brother Doug! Its amazing how many people see the end coming. The Muslims seem to think the end is near based on the exponential growth from 1200 AD to today in earthquakes. Jews think the red heifers will allow them to build the Third Temple and that will usher in the arrival of the Messiah (despite them rejecting His first arrival, death and resurrection). Secular people think we have destroyed the earth and greenhouse gasses will cause global weather to continue to grow worse and solar output at the same time is unusually high. And we Christians also for the most part believe Jesus is coming soon, and that we are the fig tree (final) generations alive who will see the worldwide return of our Lord in glory and power, though we may differ in whether there is a tribulation and secret rapture at the start, middle, or end of tribulation. Christians have much more in common than the number of differences.
