• 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.

You have nothing to prove....

BFA,

Faith/belief is the Seed, the foundation.

Hope is the plant springing up out of the buried Seed.

Hope is a city set on a hill, that cannot be hid. It is faith with experience.

Joe

You and I are the city set out on a hill that cannot be hid. This does not suggest that individual beliefs cannot be held in private.

Why must I be able to explain everything I believe? Wouldn't that be like having proof to convince others to believe as I do? As you have suggested elsewhere, just because I believe it does not mean that you are obligated to share that belief.... Perhaps it would be good if we could explain everything we believe... or maybe not...
I would hate to think that you would believe something that does not make sense to you, and it it makes sense to you then you are able to explain it.
