  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Is Satan Tempting Us or Is It Ourselves?

    I think that verse is very good in this case. I agree with you that people too easily blame others of their own evil actions. People should take responsibility of what they have done and not blame others.

    Hey what if the Pharisees repent?

    If pharisees would have repented, it would have been good and then they could have had eternal life that is promised for righteous, unless they had blasphemed, in which case i think they would not repent. These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. Mat...

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    That is true. And as you can read from the Bible Jesus and also disciples of Jesus had the right to forgive sins and nothing was required for that. The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus...

    God loves me. On a practical level, what does that look like?

    One example is this: But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends...

    My burden is light.

    I have understood that it means, we don’t have massive requirements what we must do to follow him. And even if we have difficult job, he will make it so that we can bear it and so it is easier.

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    I think that is not accurate enough, because Jesus told about the baptism: Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always...

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    The purpose of atonement sacrifice is to make amends or reparation. In away it fixes the relationship between God and man. Jesus came on earth to do that. He declared the forgiveness and also showed the correct way to life. "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more." John...

    Is Grandma in Heaven?

    No, in Bible Hades is sometimes translated hell, but there is also word Gehenna that is translated to mean hell. Hades is not the same thing, because in the end Hades is thrown into the fire lake, that is the Gehenna. …Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each...

    Defining "Works"

    I have understood righteousness means wisdom of the just, correct understanding of what is good and right. When person has that correct understanding, it leads to righteous works, because person understands what is good and right and wants that. I think one nice example of this is: "Two men...

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    But, I don’t think Bible tells it was necessary for that. Biblical reason why Jesus came on earth is this: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of...

    Is Grandma in Heaven?

    I think she can be in paradise. And I believe it may be the other place where people wait for the judgment day. The other place is Hades. Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    In this matter, I think it would be good to keep in mind also that Jesus could forgive sins before his death. The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them...

    Defining "Works"

    I think works means actions. If person is righteous, he does righteous works. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works...

    Null/Voided Out

    I think those say just what is written. I don’t think they revokes what I said before.

    Null/Voided Out

    By what the Bible tells, righteous are predestined to eternal life and unrighteous will have death.
