  • 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

    Question for those who have achieved celibacy:

    I used to be like you too but God has brought me to a place where I no longer need to touch. I don't think you would lose your salvation but I believe it would help your walk if you repented. God knows the heart and if you want to stop, you can ask God to help you. It was hard for me but it...

    Question for those who have achieved celibacy:

    I used to do the same thing you did for a very long time, but God has brought me to a place where I no longer need to touch as much anymore. I do not think one would lose salvation for that, but I encourage you ask God to help you if you want to repent. God also considers the heart so if...

    authentic Jews need reply...

    There are no Jews today? That's strange. Atheists always claim to be more reasonable and rational than theists. If reason makes one to make such an unfounded statement like that, then I am glad I am a theist who worships the God of Israel.

    Thoughts on the "safety" of Christianity

    Those who use Yeshua to gamble and are Christians in name only are just kidding themselves. I myself am in a state of confusion right nw but there's something abt Yeshua that makes me want to keep following him, even if there were irrefutable proof against his messiahship (which there isn't)

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    Another thing that has been going through my mind is rather than using the talmud to understand torah, wouldn't it be better to read and observe torah in light of the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus) especially since he was known as Rabbi.

    Is the Messianic Faith becoming more Rabbinical?

    I have been interested in the Messianic movement for a while and while I find it interesting, I believe the rabbinical and kabbalistic tendencies might cause more harm than good, and should be addressed.

    Are Paul's writings a legitimate part of the scripture?

    hang in there, langdj. I once wrestled with all this. I will see if I can help you refute the anti-Paulist accusations. There's this podcast called the full armor of God that refutes that...I think.Anyways, there are books that address this issue, and I will look into it for you. Prayerfully...
