• 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.

There is no God but One

Do you look to science as your hope, your security, and your safety net? Do you go to God only after science has failed you, only after the medicine doesn't work, or only after your comforts are threatened?

Is television an idol to which you sacrifice your time and energy? Are the pleasures offered by technology, which is the child of science, the fruit you seek more than God? How much of your dependence upon God has been replaced by your dependence upon things?

Science is the creation of God and God is the Sovereign of all. Look inside your own heart and see which is truly on the throne.

Just somehting to think about, I thought.

Why do you post this in a Christians only forum? We all believe in one God, maker of heaven and earth and in one Lord Jesus Christ.

It would be foolish to conclude that. To say that there are not "wolves" prowling around as "sheep" is quite contrary to the Bible and the warnings it gives of such people.

Ya know what, you're kinda right. Thing is, rkonfire, that since there are so few people who post in this forum regularly, we'd easily be able to detect them and have them kicked out.

But there are so many more non-believers in the General Apologetics (not Christian Apologetics, that's a planning forum) that need to hear the Christian message!

You should copy / paste your first post into a new thread there and show them the One True God!

Allelujah and Amen!

There may be more non-Believers there, but that still doesn't make your statement right. I'd hate the people who are reading this to think that all "Christians" are "Christians", so to speak.

Also, it is not as easy as you think to detect these people. I have seen them destroy churches in my home town (this includes two of my previous churches) and turn true Bible-believing Christians against each other. It is a REALLY sad sight and so I made my statement as a warning.

I don't see the problem with posting this in a Christian only thread. It is pretty arrogant of anyone to think that they have it all together. Do we not need reminding that God should take 1st place on the throne of our hearts? I know I need it at times, In no way have I ever, nor do I expect to ever "arrive" Reminders are good, we have to struggle constantly with keeping God Almighty first in our lives, we are HUMAN, and we err. Thank you, may we all examine ourselves daily to guard our own hearts. :bow:
