• 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's on your mind?

Oh I see. But Jesus says to bless even our enemies since He came to fulfill the law. So maybe you are being prayed for but not against?

I'm just trying to understand because I know God doesn't change.
Lol. I'm not saying it's literally happening. Just feels like it. Especially recently. I'm just very lost and confused. That's what grief does to you, I guess.

I'll learn to clean my wounds, dust myself off , and march on sooner or later. just discouraged at the moment.

hmmm...I think the timing is critical for a teaching on Romans 13 right now because of the elections. Believers need to see God's perspective on government. I'd preach it if I could.

Problem is, American conservatives have this irrational hatred for the government and their religious leaders will keep preaching to resist every time a Democrat takes office.

For a Christian country, they sure don't practice everything they preach.

Okay, I can't let this one fly.

I'm an American conservative and I don't hate my government nor do my religious leaders teach to "resist". Quite the opposite, they teach to "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" and to obey the governing body as they are placed there by God for His purpose and ultimate plan.

Don't paint everyone with the same broad brush.

hmm...I should probably clarify. I don't hold to any one party because I believe scripture is clear. we don't obey people in power nor a party. we obey the authority they hold because it comes from God. besides, if you believe scripture then you walk in the comfort of knowing that it doesn't matter who is in power because God is always in control. :hrelax:

I apologize if this offended you. After spending a year being intimidated and manipulated on Rapture Ready and watching tons of prophecy-related videos where the preacher spends half the time ranting about Obama has left a really salty taste in my mouth.

The problem with American conservatives is that most are not conservatives but they are moderates and liberals in disguise.

American conservatives do not hate our government and matter of fact it is the exact opposite, we love our country and we love how our government was designed to where government played a very small role in our lives and the government did not controlling us. It is liberals who hate our government as they are constantly trying to change it to where our God given rights of freedoms are taken away and change and replaced with government control.

Liberals hate traditional America and Conservatives are trying to conserve our traditional American standard of having very little government in our society.

I do agree what you are saying here, the Christian leadership should be praying for our leaders no matter who they are instead of trying to tear them down but they are human like all of us and sometimes do not realize what they are doing.

People need to start being their OWN leaders. Seriously, because win lose or draw, politics is still the same old crap. It doesn't matter who you support or what you believe in, the end result is still always going to be the same, regardless.

Next UK election, I'm going to spoil my ballot on purpose just to scrawl a few opinions on it. I planned to do it for the referendum but I didn't get round to it.

I understand. I'm just saying not to let the lunatics color your perception.

Since you have brothers and sisters in Christ who are self-professed "conservatives" it's always wise not to create discord with them for the sake of unity and love.

This country does not belong to conservatives or liberals, it never has or will. There is no "real America" or "traditional America". Nobody owns patriotism, love of our freedoms, or the "right" view of what the American government should look like and do.
