  • 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

If you are going because the Lord told you , then continue to listen to only Him and you won't be influenced by anything . If you are going *not* because of the Holy Spirit telling you , then I would say that you have already been influenced and have started down that path .

first time i read this i misunderstood it. i totally disagree with you. God is unlimited. you may be misunderstanding about church tradition system. attending church is just tradition. the way they pursuading the people to go to or insisting to go is so wrong! they dont care about being obedient to His teaching but they rebuke christians if they dont attend church. something is weird about the way they insist to attend the church.

I have no idea how you got that from what I wrote . You misunderstood what I wrote . I in no way wrote anything about people needing to "attend church" or anything similar .

Nothing in there states that I think that people should "go to church" . It is all about knowing the Lord and following *His* lead . If that so happens to be meeting people on a regular basis , so be it . If that so happens to be *not* meeting people on a regular basis , that is fine as well . And , if He says nothing on the topic , it doesn't matter - it is a personal choice . There is no insisting or persuading and no limiting the Lord .
