  • 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.

Is it possible not to sin anymore?

Matthew 5:


1 Corinthians 10:


Theoretically, it is possible to live a sinless life. In practice, Romans 7:


By the grace of God, when we fail, we confess and repent. God will forgive. We can only take it one day at a time. Hopefully, our spiritual condition next year will be better this year.

1 John 3:


We are encouraged in Genesis 5:


We have been given the Paraclete. Walk in the Spirit with God.

In case we fail, we have 1 John 1:

The movie Rudy had one excellent line that I cling to… a priest tells Rudy… there are very few theological points that he is certain of, but he is certain that there is a God and he knows that he’s not Him. :)
