  • 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

    Willow Creek Split Over 'Gay' Issue

    Largeli, good hearing from you! I agree that faith comes first, and obedience follows. And we know that 17 "faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ" (Rom. 10:17; NASB). Everything is circular. You're in the word, your faith grows, and as your faith allows you obey Him more...

    Willow Creek Split Over 'Gay' Issue

    It is true that God did not stop Adam and Eve from believing the serpent, BUT He did tell them not to eat from that tree. The cost of that sin was quite dramatic--we were separated from Him. You are correct that God allows people to choose between life and death, but "love" doesn't mean "let...

    I Was Bonding With Satan Once

    Reminds me of the book "This Present Darkness," by Frank Peretti. If you haven't read it, you might be interested to do so! HalleluYah that He is so merciful.

    Sabbath Day

    Alright! Galatians 3:2 asks, “did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?” You can’t get the promise of the Spirit through the law—it is a promise, and we only receive it by faith. But it appears that now people in Galatia are being...

    Sabbath Day

    So, we have been introduced to Paul in Acts and have seen that Paul follows Torah. Before, when I used to read the “New” Testament, I would get pretty confused because Paul seemed to contradict himself a good deal, and even more unsettling was that he contradicted Yeshua. I was reading through a...

    Sabbath Day

    Continuing with some background so that when we come to Galatians we have a proper understanding... Just to throw it out there, we also see Paul go to the Temple to offer animal sacrifices for him and four of his brothers in the Messiah, when they do the Nazarite vow (look at Acts 21:23-24...

    Galatians is a book which unfortunately gets distorted quite a bit. I will soon get to the passages you (Aibrean) have quoted from Galatians. But first, some background is very necessary to understand Paul. Let’s look at some things that happened in Acts (I know this is long, but please take...

    Hi Jack, It’s so great to hear from you! As for your concerns about wondering if your motives are where they should be for following Him, I hope you find this verse encouraging: 12 My dear friends, you have always obeyed God when I was with you. It is even more important that you obey...

    Dear Jack, I love your sincerity, and how you want to follow God's will. It's awesome when the Spirit pulls on our hearts! Ask God for help with your confusion--He will help you! As for who is going to hell and who isn't--who can make that call? We don't see into people's hearts--only Yahweh...

    Sabbath Day

    HalleluYah Steve! And well said, Erik! The law is all about Yeshua (Jesus), which He says Himself: "46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me." -John 5:46 We should actually expect this, since He IS the Word! Are we the only ones that have received the...

    Concerned won't be able to stay virgin before married

    Even though we're forgiven, don't take sin lightly. You're talking about intentional sin here. PLEASE take a look at Hebrews 10:26-29 with me, and LISTEN... 26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a...

    do you give up ?

    Never! You never give up! The Bible talks A LOT about needing to have perseverance! It sounds like you are no longer delighting yourself in Yahweh and His ways. Desire what HE wants, and you'll receive the desires of your heart (because it's in line with HIS will).
