• 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.

  • 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.

truth is only relative to the system that houses it and the purpose of truth is the communication of those systems with the "truth" as the trojan horse.

there needs to be some vague understanding of the new system, or similarity with a known system for the "truth" to even make sense, for there to be a starting point. you could conclude that ...

jesus is the truth of god whos reality, of which ours is a feint shadow, he wants us to know.

You are actually saying that we can be absolutely sure about one thing and that one thing is that we can never be absolutely sure about anything.

Kind of like saying you should never say never.
