  • 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.

    Christian Music Icon Sandi Patty Calls on President Trump To Apologize to ‘America, Especially Black America’

    In my opinion that video was derogatory on all democrats not just the Obamas. E.g. Schumer and AOC are made to look like jackasses. Why apologise to just the Obamas?

    Pastor Sparks Backlash for Saying Interracial Marriages, Including His Own, Are Not ‘Ideal’

    They would do better with other black people from a similar background i.e. middle class. Besides race - and ethnicity - socio-economic status and age also play a significant role. Avoid opposites. Opposites attract... divorce.

    How old was Mary when she gave birth to Christ?

    Exactly, do you believe someone from the FIFTH century or the Gospel writers who were Jesus' contemporaries? Jesus is always referred to as "the only begotten son (monogenes) of God" but the "firstborn son (prototokos)" of Mary.

    Presbyterian Church of Queensland in Financial Difficulty

    The Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) went through something similar around 15 years ago when the Mutual Society, they had heavily invested in, went bust. Millions were lost back then but the Church has survived. I hope the same will be true of our Australian brethren. :praying:
