• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I usually don't like to scratch an itch that isn't mine, but as a conservative God fearing old man, it appears this itch does now belong to me. I have been observing this forum and it seems to me that there is a confusion going on. Conservative Biblical views are not popular, if they were the whole world would be saved. The proof that conservative Biblical views are not popular can be found at the cross, because Jesus was crucified as a result of them. He wasn't crucified because he carried around a peace sign. He was crucified because He carried His sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. It is a sad day when the lights of God, being shined before men by God, are being snuffed out on a so called "Christian based forum." Just an old man's ramblings, feel free to disregard if my opinion isn't popular. ....is this site owned by the ACLU or Madam O'hare's decendants? If not, it is hard to tell the difference. Peace in Christ, CT

You hit the nail on the head CT - REPPAGE!

Jesus Himself even said that He came to bring a sword - not the peace sign. :amen:
TRUTH divides. And that's exactly why once you get past just "fellowship" topics of rainbows & cotton candy, you automatically start rubbing people the wrong way w/ your Christian worldviews on morality/sin & doctrines.
That is what sets us far apart and brings division.

It's also why said Jesus said if you are not for Me, you are against Me. People who rebel against scripture teachings rebel against God directly; it's His Word.

Matthew 10:34
"33 "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 "For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
