  • 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 society splitting up over covid?

husband, teen, and I were vaccinated yet we still mask/distance

other vaccinated relatives do not mask & two got covid

I believe masks/distance do help
teen starts back to school today/masks are not required
she is choosing to wearing one

Yes it is wise to mask up as well as have the vaccine. According to U.K stats for fully vaccinated people it gives you 88% protection. However if you are fully vaccinated and still get covid the chances are you will get it mildly as the vaccine should still give you some protection.

HANDS - FACE - SPACE - Wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance. The Ominicron virus does not seem as bad as the other variants but it's still a bit early tell. I think your teenage daughter is wise to make that decision if she feels wearing a mask won't effect her ability to learn.

also, we're in a state with high covid rates

our county is in the top ten for cases in the state

I've been looking at obits for county
some say if it was covid...it's not just the elderly dying

Indeed many young people have died, most people would be surprised how many. There was a young homeless man around where I live, he had mental health problems and I would see him almost daily as he would sleep in the alleyways near my house. I tried to help him but he did not want help and did not like people trying to help him, at the beginning of all this covid business I would hear him with a nasty cough and just wished he would see a doctor, after about a week I never saw him again. He was about 23 years old I think and his family had disowned him due I think to his mental health. I can't help thinking this young man was a victim of covid because I'm pretty sure I would have seen him again by now. Hope I'm wrong.

Masking has proven wise even for colds and the flu (and the flu does still kill its quota). We should have been masking all along during flu season, as well as keeping distance and watching what we touch.

??? Are you a troll? Seems like it. These things you write are so preposterous they appear to be trolling.

Despite the fact that vaccinated people get infected, infect others and end up in hospital for care during infection, the unvaccinated are regularly vilified in the pop media as immoral, selfish and dirty. This same sort of vilification was enacted in Nazi Germany upon the Jews, upon the "bourgeoisie" in Russia by the murderous Bolsheviks, and upon the well-educated, artists, and the religious in communist China by the death-dealing Chairman Mao. Each group of people was held up as an Enemy of the State, a threat to the public good, deserving of hatred and extermination. This is where the rhetoric against the unvaccinated is going. And people like yourself are helping it along, regurgitating the evil, fact-defying propaganda of Big Pharma and the captured medical and political Establishment.

If you acted in a resposible manner and didn't get peoples backs up maybe they would be a little more understanding.

Right back at you.

Most countries are not forcing the vaacine on people so I don't know why you are all spouting your venom.

??? Again, only a troll would make such an utterly false statement. In Canada, where I live, the government is extorting people into unwanted vaccination through the vaccine-pass policy, forcing people into vaccination by threatening their livelihoods, restricting their access to various "non-essential" things, and slowly migrating toward incarceration of the unvaccinated in concentration camps, in emulation of China and Australia.


Yeah, this is just trolling.


You don't get to order us around, telling us what to say and how we ought to feel. You are a sheep. And, apparently, a very ignorant one. If you don't like the label, inform yourself. Read the data offered in the links I supplied in earlier posts. Stop spouting talking-head rhetoric you've heard on t.v. and learn what the actual hard facts of the matter are concerning the virus and the vaccines.

OVER AND OUT end of argument, i'm done with this rubbish now. Everything that needs to be said has been said the argument is going nowhere.

Well, you see, you don't have the power to decide for the rest of us when the argument stops. If you wish to remain blind and blindly trusting, go ahead. None of us are obliged to follow suit, however, or to regard your choice as a sensible one.

Why are you allowing yourself to be filled with so much anger and hate, do you not see Satan's scheming. Turn to God's word, use wisdom and understanding. I have no anger towards you only disagreement, the more I read God's word the further I am from hate and anger and it is such a good feeling to have love in your heart as opposed to hate.

I take this opportunity to post from scripture again a very important message to us all.

Ephesians 6:12 - ''For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.''

I have myself struggled with anger in the past and it was the above scripture that made me see the truth. Satan would prefer it if you did not believe in him and his ability to effect lives, but the more you walk with Christ the less a hold he has over you.

2 Timothy !:7 - For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control''.

God Bless you.

I am neither angry nor filled with hate. But I don't happily suffer ignorant foolishness, either. I've been direct and factual in opposition to the trollish stuff you've been declaring but within myself I'm quite at ease. How about you? Assigning evil motives and attitudes to me suggests more about you than me.

Turn to God's word, use wisdom and understanding. I have no anger towards you only disagreement,

Right back 'atcha.

the more I read God's word the further I am from hate and anger and it is such a good feeling to have love in your heart as opposed to hate.

Says the one slinging around ad hominem and a false narrative concerning the virus and vaccines.


Uh huh.

Seriously I think you need to grow up and look in the mirror, it is you that is dispalying trollish behaviour and distorting the facts about covid, and I don't even think you are a Christian, you are just someone who has too much time on their hands obviously looking to be insulting, Classic troll like behaviour. Now that is truly all I have to say to you now because I haven't got the time to play your ego games, and play into the Devils hands. Evil has no power over me.

Division between people isn't something new. Jesus Himself said that He came to divide people, not to unite them.

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ Matthew 10:34-36

The gospel is the means of our salvation but those who receive the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ are separated from the world (in the world, but not of it), delivered from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.

Conspiracy theories surrounding the pandemic and vaccinations are almost all about the fear that the governments of this world are either taking advantage of the circumstances or creating them, in order to serve the ruler of this world, Satan. However, I can't understand how anyone believing the Lord can live in fear of a defeated enemy.


And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

Our fear betrays Christ (as in the garden at Gethsemane) and only reveals an immaturity that we need to grow beyond in order to stand as His witnesses in these last days.

Well said Michael. I just don't understand how people who call themselves Christians could be so caught up in the conspiracy theories about the vaccine. It just shows a level of immaturity and lack of understanding of the message of Christ. People who live in fear, walk in darkness you just have to hope that one day they will find the light.
