  • 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.

    Grace vs Law? Did Jesus through Paul do away with the mosaic law?

    I'm not sure what you mean by binding. I believe in Jesus and all those things found in the Nicene Creed. (I believe Jesus rose from the dead and I believe in the trinity and etc). I have confessed I am a sinner and furthermore I read the Word daily and take communion. I repent of my sins...

    Why did God ceate such a cruel world?

    We don't have to pay for Adams sins. God saw the horror of what Adam had done and sent His only son Jesus to take our sin from us. This isn't a philosophical explanation but it shows that God loves us all enough to undo the damage that Adam did. Why did those after Adam suffer until Christ? I...

    On what basis do Christians reject other Gods?

    I will answer this according to the Bible but I realize that everyone will not accept this explanation. Just one verse and then more explanation ... ““For many are invited, but few are chosen.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ So a Christian ultimately chooses the Bible and the trinity because the...

    How to respond to offensive anti-God material?

    I don't blame you for getting offended. Others here seem critical of this emotion but I totally understand. I am going to make my comments brief followed by some verses Avoid your uncle and don't debate with him at all. We are supposed to love people and you are not going to be able to win a...
