  • 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

    THE GREAT CONTROVERSY in Baltimore, Maryland

    We have direct testimony and teaching from our Lord Jesus Christ concerning the proper place of tradition in relation to the law and testimony of the word of God, that is to say holy scripture. Mrk 7:1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from...

    A good video about the unreliability of radiometric dating.

    Censorship?

    Soul sleep is not found anywhere in scripture. I don't know who believed it if anyone ever did. Rather again I think it was a name someone made up and sarcastically applied to those who believe in the sleep of the dead. Wikipedia suggests it was John Calvin. Scripture itself refers to the dead...

    Evolution conflict and division

    No, finding bones and fossils of fully developed and functional extremely complex organisms with similarities will never add up to demonstrable or observable evolution. Nor are the dates applied to these fossils demonstrable or observable facts at all, but assumed according to predetermined deep...

    Evolution conflict and division

    Yes, I understand your presumptions according to your faith in the theory of Evolution and deep time scenarios required to support such.

    Gibbons Decline & Fall & Christianity

    From the writings of Gibbons thus far, it seems apparent that the history of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire were more than just concurrent events. They were distinct interactive agents of cause and effect upon each other. A sort of New Covenant era repetition of Old Covenant...

    Censorship?

    Interesting that you should bring this form of censorship up, which is a real problem that has been going on for a while, as the date of your article suggests. This would be a good time I suppose to take a look at a Vatican document on Internet Ethics, and related articles over the years...

    Censorship?

    The bible does not teach soul sleep. It teaches that the body plus the breath or spirit given by God equals a living soul. At death, these separate, and there is no longer a living soul. The condition is referred to as sleep by scripture and our Lord, because there are no thoughts or awareness...

    Censorship?

    I do not mean that I am in disagreement with anything in the Nicene Creed, just that I am not bound to or by it. My faith is not in the many different creeds or professions of faith of differing denominations, it is in the holy scriptures as the final authority upon all subjects which it...

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    Mrk 10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your...

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    Here Ignatius hits the mark concerning proper submission to elected church leaders. They are to be followed only in that they exemplify the life or teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The word, life, and teachings of Christ are what the world will be judged by. Not the authority of...

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    While I am not sure what your above question actually had to do with the fact that EGW did not make the predictions concerning the dates you claimed she did, I do still want to examine the context to perhaps grasp your point. I take it Early Writings, 67.2 means page 67 second paragraph, is that...

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    So, what punishments do you think Bishops and such should be able to inflict upon the disobedient? Of course anyone can say they have handed others over to satan, that does not necessarily mean such is so. No one who defies non scriptural founded principles, practices, teachings, or orders, is...

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    Yes, and the writings of the "Church Fathers" were not among them and are therefore also subject to them, not the other way around. Nor were questionable kings, emperors, or Popes presiding over and for therefore influential to the decisions they had reached. Rather the Apostles and...
