  • 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

    globalist cultural marxist conspiracy ??? huh???

    Thank you for the clarification. I wondered whose terms you were using and that helps in the conversation. I think we all tend to group similar ideas and people together especially when it helps our point of view. There are those who don't like the push by some for global legislation over...

    globalist cultural marxist conspiracy ??? huh???

    Thank you for starting an interesting thread. If you wouldn't mind could you elaborate on the following for me? What is a globalist? Why would people object to those who outright say they are marxist? Do you know what the top reasons are for marxism not being implemented properly? Thanks in advance!

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    I apologize if I have missed your point. I can be dense at times as my wife might testify...I am interested how you might teach others about your belief here...So if you will indulge me I will try to clarify my question. What is the pathway to this self-forgiveness that folks don't how to pursue...

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    In relation to forgiving ourselves, do you believe it is more a matter of forgiving ourselves or of concluding we didn't need forgiveness in the first place?

    Are you proposing this as what you ascribe to?

    Why did Jesus have to suffer and die?

    To the original post on this thread...I completely agree and many others added much to the Biblical prophesy of Christ's death. Unless I missed it on someone's post, most have missed the first cause. Man was given the law and one punishment. The curse of death from disobedience lay upon every...

    Calvinist Confusion

    I do not desire to detract from my answer to this thread, which is young people and theologians are the primary ones concerned with the complete synthesis of the theology of free will and God's sovereignty. It is most biblical to believe that both are true in as much as both are stated in God's...

    Calvinist Confusion

    Thank you for the response...I get your overall point, which is not in disagreement with me, however, the context is somewhat missing. You begin with "maybe that's because" and then you proceed to quote my entire post. It would be helpful with a little more precision to elaborate on what "thats"...

    What do you think our prayers should contain?

    Sincerity. On a side note: Prayer is often seen as one way whether we think of it that way or we just simply behave that way. Prayer is a time for listening and many of us need to learn the art of being naked before God with just silence (without words to cloak everything). Truly, it is the...

    Calvinist Confusion

    In my 40+ years I have yet to hear "calvinists" attempt to truly synthesize this in the way that is categorized on this thread. True that quite a few virulent young people get carried away in such matters and love the argument, as do the theologians, but reformed folks generally just simply...

    Theistic evolution and the nature of God

    Just FYI. I think you are making a case against something that isn't in disagreement with you. My statements in context of my post don't disagree with you. Your questions to me then are a bit weird and presumptive of a belief I do not hold. I think if you re-read the post it will become clearer...

    Theistic evolution and the nature of God

    The previous post by Aussie Pete may not be the most convincing discussion but it has its points that are worthy of parsing out. As an aside and because of his post, it sparked a thought in me, that another issue with evolution or theistic evolution for the Christian, who wishes to remain...

    The planet saw its hottest day ever this week.

    Agreed. They don't help that was the point of my post (#271). That was exactly my point in bringing a relevant example of another such area that they do no social good in. The point being, that while most people get their science knowledge from media - they should not.
