  • 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

    This Is How World Wars Start

    This is an allegory about escalation, paranoia, and the consequences of unchecked power — told through a fable. It’s rooted in current events, yes, but it’s more about how cycles of violence repeat. The Tale of the Three Beasts There once lived an aggressive beast who ruled a distant corner of...

    Exploring the Relationship Between Adam's Initial Immortality and the Age of the Earth

    The Bible supports this perspective, as evidenced by the fact that before Adam's expulsion from the Garden, God stationed Cherubim that guarded the way to the Tree of Life. This was done to prevent Adam from eating the fruit and living forever, which would have been detrimental because it would...

    Embracing Our Limitations

    In our walk of faith, when we face adversity and doubts creep in, we should never be too hard on ourselves. Even some of God's most faithful servants had their doubts at first. For example, when GOD called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses replied, "But I'm not a good speaker...

    Null

    Back in Biblical time kings had the power to make anyone they chose serve in their army for as long as they needed them. Doesn't this mean that the kings of Israel probably also made people serve in the army when they needed more soldiers? Perhaps when we read "muster an army" (in some bible...

    How does Spirit/Jesus/God speak to you?

    I've heard GOD's voice twice, quite clearly. The first time, I was thinking of taking martial arts classes, and GOD said, "If you do this, I WILL TAKE MY PROTECTION FROM YOU." I obeyed, and I've seen GOD keep me safe in some very bad situations. The second time was when I was struggling with...

    Are there territorial demons/spirits?

    The Bible passage in Daniel 10:13 seems to confirm the existence of territorial spirits. The "prince of Persia" is a spirit that rules over the kingdom of Persia, and after Persia's downfall, the "prince of Greece" takes HIS place. This suggests that each empire had a governing spirit, implying...

    Question about " Book of life ".

    When struggling with doubts about matters of faith and what comes afterwards, remember that GOD genuinely desires for everyone to respond to HIS offer of salvation. This is not a distant or unapproachable GOD, but a loving FATHER who longs that all should eventually be saved. JESUS' invitation...

    Why People Believe The Earth is Flat

    Hades (by interpretation) is often used to refer to the realm of the dead where souls reside after death, rather than hell, which specifically denotes a place of eternal punishment and torment. This distinction is crucial, as Hades encompasses a broader concept (termed Sheol) in the Old...

    Psychic ability and Christians

    Psychic abilities refer to a range of supposed extra-sensory perceptions. A "gut feeling" that something isn't right is an example of a psychic ability, although it is a more positive example. However, the term "psychic" includes both positive abilities and those related to darkness, such as...

    Why People Believe The Earth is Flat

    Hell is often represented as Gehenna, a real place (called the Valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem) where trash was burned, suggesting that hell is a place where garbage, trash, or rubbish (in this case, sin) is permanently destroyed. The Bible teaches that hell was prepared a long time ago, even...

    Please I need help...made an oath in my head.

    When we sin, whether it's breaking a vow or any other kind of wrongdoing there are steps we can take to find forgiveness. The first step is to admit our guilt before GOD. The Bible says in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from...

    Is it too late for me?

    Isaiah 41:10 states: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” In John 5:24-27, we find the following assurance: “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him...
