  • 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.

Exo 12:49 There shall be one law to the native, and to the visitor that stays among you. One law for both. Illegally entering our country you are not following the law.


Ex 12:48 And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 12:49 One law shall be for him that is native and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
It seems that in Israel there was a condition of integration. I think that is interesting. Because it is mostly the unfamiliarity (that what makes a stranger strange) that is the real obstacle to acceptance.

America is a nation of immigrants. From the beginning, people have come here for freedom and prosperity. Christians should show love and concern for illegal immigrants but we should also oppose amnesty legislation and enforce the immigration laws. Immigration is the legal means by which one becomes a citizen.Those individuals that have entered without following US laws are not immigrants as calling them that is an insult to those who come here legally, they are illegal aliens. Exo 12:49 There shall be one law to the native, and to the visitor that stays among you. One law for both. Illegally entering our country you are not following the law.

Yes, and they have shown utter contempt for the law which is against scripture. (1 Peter 2:13) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; (1 Peter 2:14) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. (1 Peter 2:15) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
