  • 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

    Is mental illness spiritual warfare?

    I think the flaw comes in the “all or nothing” nature of the position. Is ALL mental illness the result of demonic or spiritual forces? No, I don’t think we can say that. Is NO mental illness the result of demonic or spiritual forces? No, I don’t think we can say that, either. So what does...

    Hospitals suspend sex-change surgeries, puberty blockers for kids after Trump's order

    Hooray!!!!!!! Let adults mutilate themselves rather than mutilating their children for an ideology.

    Is baptism required before a person can receive communion?

    Communion is about "fellowship" with a local body of believers. They have a God given command to "not eat and drink in an unworthy manner". That's pretty vague, isn't it? And yet, the "overseers" (deacon, elder, pastor, shepherd, father, reverend ... whatever term they assign locally) will be...

    WHAT IS EPH 4:11 REALLY SAYING TO BELIEVERS TODAY ?

    All those necessary for the formation, growth and health of The Church (Christ’s body on the earth in general, and the local gathering of believers in particular) will be provided by God and empowered to do the WORK that God requires FOR His body by the Holy Spirit. Apostles testified to the...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    Nope ... When Jesus was asked what was the Greatest Commandment, he responded with a quote that was NOT from the Ten Commandments. The "Shema" (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) is not the 10 commandments. It was not part of the words written on the stone tablets. I am surprised that you don't know that...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    Just FYI … Leviticus 19:18 'You shall not take vengeance, nor hold any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD. Jesus point was that the WHOLE LAW counted, not just the 10 bullet points written on two stone tablets. The “Greatest...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    The part where it says “He was without sin”. Being without sin means (by definition) that Jesus violated NO LAWS. If Jesus violated any law, that would be a sin and we are still damned (sacrifice was invalid). Did you read James 2:10? It says that it doesn’t matter which law you violate … it...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    Hebrews 4:15 Now it is your turn to provide the scripture that says Jesus violated the menstruating laws. Those really are the only two options, right. You obeyed the Law or you violated the law. James 2:10 [NKJV] For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    OF COURSE JESUS OBSERVED THE SABBATH!!! Jesus observed all 613 laws PERFECTLY. That is what made HIM the sinless sacrifice. What about the OT verse that says you must keep THE WHOLE LAW? What about the NT verse that says if you fail on just one point, you stand guilty of the WHOLE LAW...

    The Ten Commandments are all reiterated in the New Testament

    FACT CHECK: The Fourth Commandment Exodus 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your...
