  • 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.

Unity between people can only come from the search for righteousness from those involved...

For righteousness alone can be the unifier in the nature of things... Because righteousness is alone that thing that is right in any and all circumstances of life..

For if righteousness is not that thing that is between the parties, own will or self will will be that which is elevated to be the unifier... And own will can never be the unifier because there are always two or more own will’s when people are involved, because people bring their own will with them...

This is a playing out of why deny or dying to self is so necessary in not only our walks with Christ, but in our very lives in this world... For own will is that will that elevates itself above righteousness or that which is right, which will can never be in agreement with another own will because own will demands that it have the preeminence...

Own will can capitulate to another own will, but one or the other own will will always be elevated above the other.. The search for righteousness solves this issue by setting aside own will for what is righteousness and truth in the issue...

Be blessed all in the search for righteousness in all our doings...

A fellow searcher, Not me
