  • 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

I believe this will fit nicely for "Philosophy" and "Morality". In the bible we are told to admonish one another. Where do you draw the line? Does your admonishment include interfering with someones personal life? If you saw a brother/sister struggling, is it your christian duty to bring them before the church? Before their parents? Before a body of elders?

I ask this for two reasons.
1. I see this happening to someone in another thread.
2. This happened to me by a "christian" woman in my old church. As a result, it turned me off of church for 3yrs.
