  • 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

    Prayers and Thoughts Please

    My family just found out today that my grandfather has Parkinson's Disease. Please pray for him and my family during this time. It turns out that he has known about it for several years but has kept it a secret. At a routine checkup today, a nurse just happened to mention it to my mom, having...

    Does anyone believe men could have added things in the bible?

    Is it possible that men could have added things to Ivanhoe?

    Liberal predestination

    I have. While the Heidelberg Catechism itself does not explicitly state Calvinism, it is seen as a strong part of that tradition. I have always assumed their affirmation of it to mean that they are Calvinists. Maybe it is something else though. Both of my pastors are ordained UCC ministers...

    Insane...

    As a Christian, I believe it is our responsibility to point the finger at ourselves.

    Insane...

    And with this news story, I can now say that Christianity is dead.

    Liberal predestination

    The answer to the OP's question is yes. The United Church of Christ affirms the Heidelberg Catechism.

    Liberal predestination

    The first that come to mind are the Presbyterian Church USA and the United Church of Christ.

    Miracles

    I think that the natural order of the universe is miraculous enough. H2O is absolutely fascinating without a ridiculous infomercial. Who decided that it needs to be blessed to be any more holy?

    What was your first fall out with mainstream Christianity?

    I really like this thread. So, now I'm having to think about this myself. I grew up in a Pentecostal Church, which is usually seen as being very conservative. And while Pentecostals certainly have many, many crazy aspects (can you say TBN?), they are relatively moderate. I grew up hearing...

    Is Jesus the only way to God?

    In my very humble opinion, Jesus is the only way to God, but Christianity is not the only way to Jesus.

    I have chosen to embrace Hinduism

    Changing religions is not going to make you happy. I really recommend that you get a new hobby. I don't mean that in a harsh or sarcastic way. I'm serious. Your interest in religion left the domain of the spiritual and entered that of academic inquiry. Academically, every religion makes...

    I have chosen to embrace Hinduism

    I respect Hinduism. I have nothing but respect and admiration for it. I have many friends who are Hindu, and I have read many of their sacred texts myself. I disagree with many points of Hinduism, but I think that it is a great paradigm from which to view the world. My lack of surprise is...

    Why doesn't this surprise me?
