  • 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

    I am a creationist, but...

    No, no one can tell you how much time passed between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, but it would appear to have been a long time. It's reasonable to assume the universe has been here a long time. This can be concluded by the sheer size of the universe, and how light travels. The Cambrian explosion...

    Old Earth Geology

    I should say, I'm not a young earth creationist. When the universe and the earth were created are insignificant compared to when life was created. How could such a complex geology ever be explained as something to have formed within 6000 years? The recession of water from a flooded earth...

    Racism - What's in a name ?

    I should add, has anyone ever looked up the word "race" in a dictionary? It makes no reference to people at all. Technically, there can't be any racism because there is only one race of people, humans. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/race https://www.dictionary.com/browse/race...

    Racism - What's in a name ?

    There is very little racism in the world, most people don't even know what the word means. What most people define as racism is bigotry. Racism is defined as belief in the genetic superiority of one race over another, but there is only one race, humans. Just as there is variation with other...

    ONE VERSE TOTALLY DESTROYS FREE WILL !

    If we have no freewill, then the bible, Jesus' sacrifice and everything else is pointless. There wouldn't be any reason at all for God to make us aware of his existence. Everything God did, everything jesus did, everything spiritual basically everything is pointless, and god would just be a...

    Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen?

    If I'm understanding you, your existence is just for God's amusement and entertainment? He created you just to show you he's the boss? Makes no sense.

    Jonah and the Whale

    I think people are getting sidetracked which happens far to often when discussing the bible accounts. Accounts like Jonah and the Whale or the Great Flood lose sight of the meaning. The stories are allegorical, that isn't to say they can't be true, a story can be both true and allegorical...

    Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen?

    These are not difficult question. God wanted to give us choice. If we weren't given the option to choose, then we wouldn't have free will. So do you want freedom to choose or not? People say they don't want god forced on them, if god didn't give us a choice, then it would the same as forcing...

    Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen?

    As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Since humans cause the majority of the suffering in the world, to end all suffering would require ending all of us.

    I like the way you think. That might be a scary idea, if you know how I think. Here's an example...

    Should people living in sin be rejected from the church

    Wake up and be honest, truer words are rarely spoken. We have to be honest with ourselves, we all deserve eternal damnation, it's only through God's plan of grace that we have any chance. So to the topic of living in sin, we are all living in sin.

    Should people living in sin be rejected from the church

    I only sin once a day, it starts when I wake up, and ends when I go to sleep.

    Should people living in sin be rejected from the church

    Sin is not what we do, it's what we are. What we do is a reflection of what we are. Stopping bad behavior is great, but it doesn't address our sin nature, that is where the problem originates.

    Should people living in sin be rejected from the church

    Anything less than perfection is immorality. God establishes moral absolutes, he doesn't grade on a curve. What is right and wrong is written in our hearts, we know what is wrong because we know when someone does something wrong to us. Anyone that does anything to someone else they wouldn't...
