• 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.

Why is my faith not enough?

I disagree. Paul said to have no divisions at all. I'll follow him. You guys can argue over church theology and politics. I seek peace with everyone and holiness. I try getting people to put away divisions and because I dont agree to disagree I'm called a divider. That's flipping truth on its head. The church is supposed to be a pure virgin. Unfortunately people choose divisions instead.
I don't follow Paul. Even Paul said it is foolishness to do so. I follow Jesus and He said He came to bring a sword, all out of love of course. But I'm done. I'm checking out as think we could use the break. Love you, and I mean that.

You dont know scripture. Paul urged us to follow him.

Paul urged us to follow him.

1 Corinthians 4:14 I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children. 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.

Philippians 3:17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

You don't follow Paul but you follow a church?

Only back to correct an error on my part.

1 cor 1:
11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Thank you and God bless all. Not feeling the love in this anymore so truly time to eject. Just came back as I can admit when I missed it.

Thank you. I love your honesty. Dont feel bad. I get anxiety all the time. Just wait and rest in the Lord. Things will be fine. You will see.
