  • 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 read in James 1:27: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." ​

Has anyone on here studied this subject biblically and with regard historically as to what the situation was with orphans and widows of their day and time and culture? Where did they live? Who cared for them? What were their means of financial support? I have not delved into this historically, which I am most certain was probably a much different situation than we have presently in the USA (where I live) in 2025. And what do you believe this should realistically look like in my culture today? Or in your culture?
