  • 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

    Soooo I'm back and asking questions again

    Every year or so I tend to find myself asking those big questions everyone deals with at one point in their life, and each time I'll decide to see what each religion has to say, wrestle with epistemology a bit (the study of knowledge, an interesting branch of philosophy), and then get closer to...

    Ever been tested by God ?

    No, no I did, was just getting additional options. Like any religious group, Christians tend to be a diverse lot. :hug:

    Ever been tested by God ?

    Soooo, under Christian belief God doesn't "intentionally" test you, to see if your worthy, or whatever. It's just normal life challenges that pop up for everyone, regardless of their faith, and God hopefully helps you along ?

    Ever been tested by God ?

    Okay, quick bit of background. About 2 years ago I came to this forum to get back into Christianity, but eventually found my answer's weren't within Christian dogma, so I went walkies. Anyway, in an occult forum I was lurking through tonight, they were talking about being tested as part of...

    Death & Salvation

    The whole idea of Jesus dieing somehow granting me an easy ticket to heaven never made much sense to me. It just seems all too easy for something so important. There must be some other, non jesus way into heaven. What about those who didn't accept Jesus but lead good lives ? Is Jesus -the- only...

    Death & Salvation

    I hope I'm not being too annoying, but, why the need for a sacrifice at all ? I've always interpreted the animal sacrifices pre-christian religions as being a payment / tribute to the Gods. If animals were good enough before Jesus, why aren't they good enough now ? Also Out of intrest, the...

    Death & Salvation

    Why did Jesus need to die then ? Why would a God need to 'kill' part of himself ?

    Did Jesus fulfil all the prophesies regarding the messiah ?

    But did it say it would be done in two installments or one ?

    Death & Salvation

    What are the christian views on death and salvation ? I understand one view is that you MUST accept jesus as your savour and then bam, instant heaven on death. But that however doesn't seem fair nor just (as i see it) when you consider those who didn't have the same level opptunity to accept...
