• 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.

Would you support a 'Christian Zone'?

The first problem you'll encounter will be who's interpretation of the Bible will you follow, there are hundreds of Christian denominations who cannot agree on Biblical interpretations - Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox etc etc etc. Then IF you get agreement (which to be fair is unlikely) the next problem will be education - old earth, young earth, creationism, intelligent design, evolution - you'd struggle to get a crowd of Christians to agree on that subject.

Thirdly, unless you are going top completely brainwash your children, when they get to 18 there will be a proportion who chose not to follow the Christian faith, what do you do with them? Some may be agnostic of atheist, soem might follow another religion and soem may just have a different view of Christianity, it would just not work unless like Scientologists you ban freedom of thought and do not allow dissent.
