• 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.

What is the gospel? (Note: I am not asking because I don't know).

You can't know what Jesus propitiates if you don't know what He propitiated for at the cross. That's quite obvious. I simply summarized the most important elements of what makes the gospel "good news."
Did not Jesus make it clear right from the beginning of His ministry that the good news was the Kingdom taking away authourity from man and returning it to it's rightful place, with God.

How does one go about that?

We don't. God will do this regardless of whether we want Him to or not. But those in favour of His move will no doubt first be aware of why it is a good idea, why we are undeserving of continuing on as we have done since the Garden. Any wonder Jesus' first followers were the oppressed?
