  • 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.

In 1990s when the USSR collapsed and the cold war ended there was a feeling of optimism and hope that wars might diminish and maybe even end. They did not.

The scriptures speak of a time when wars will end. Do you believe that time will come soon?

Micah 4:1 And this shall be: In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the top of the mountains and high above the hills. And the people will flow to it. 2 And many nations will hurry, and will say: "Come, let us ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3 And he will judge among the many peoples, and he will correct strong nations, even from afar. And they will cut up their swords into ploughs, and their spears into hoes. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will no longer learn to wage war. 4 And a man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one to fear, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. 5 For all people will walk, each one in the name of his god. But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God, forever and ever.
We are experiencing an era of peace unlike any other time, and termed it by influence of the Romans - Pax Americana. War may come again, but since more countries are enjoying this era of peace, most countries avoid direct militarized war, and instead sanction things like trade.
