  • 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.

Why first century miracles happening right now, where and why

I've been hearing reports from some missionary friends along the miracles that are common place among many that are in distressed, oppressive anti christian countries. They deemed it, that it's because the few christians there are going through persecution, that could be part of it, it's also likely it's because even though most don't have daily access to a full bible, many have never even seen one, what little they know, they hold onto and have great faith, they believe in full without question, like little children.

We in the west can get so caught up in the massive volume of scripture and open study upon it, we forget that's it's better to know less, but fully know it, ,then to know a little of everything, only on the surface. I personally would say, just for exercising ones faith, to take some segment of teaching and focus on it more exclusively, to let it fully soak in to deeper levels, and watch the results.
