  • 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.

Where is the unity among Christians

i find it is wonderful to have discourse with folks who have differing present perceptions of the doctrines of scripture based upon thier present relationship with the lord JESUS ..i also find it exciting when i come across others who have exactly the same present perception as my own and am amazed how we all got to where we are .

i don't view it as any kind of disunity unless folks speak certain words opposed to the truth of the lord JESUS.
if what others say offend us we explain our feelings and forgive them the offense ..if they do like wise .. unity remains

unity is not based -methinks- on continued doctrinal agreement ..but rather upon agreement that Jesus loves us and we love one another in him .. regardless of our differing doctrinal perceptions .

:)

It will take a great awakening.

80% of people in America surveyed stated they were Christians.

We know that when Americans are surveyed on right to life or other moral issiues,that
The numbers are split.

So we have a form of Godlynesss,but deny the power thereof.

Double minded flesh seeking the world,but still claiming to be Christian.

Its time the true body gathers,and preaches the truth everywhere.

We can get by the things that separate US,things that are not revelvent enough to endanger salvation,we need to leave at home.

The anti Christ may just be sitting next to you on Sunday.

I agree, and what a great thing to see the true body lifted up and be a light to the world.

I am sure there is anit christ in every church, ant chirst is any one who denies Jesus is Lord.

I am not disagreeing or condemning, I am full agreement with the fact the Word of God can divide people, but Jude 1:19, those people who facilitate and proliferate these divisions are NOT of the Spirit. I agree with you that Churches have taken the Bible and used it for their own bidding, but the Spirit they claim to worship, is not present in them. I was agreement with you about the fact that the Church is divided.
I was agreeing with you brother! I was putting it in another perspective, not directly asking you :). Sorry for the misunderstanding my friend
