  • 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

    Was Peter "Chief" of the Apostles?

    Peter obviously wasn't of any great authority over the church as some mistakeningly teach today. While he was a great leader he was taken to task by Paul for his hypocrisy and was a sinful man like every other man.

    Is evolution a religion?

    the truest evidence that much of modern science, especially evolution is more religion than anything else is by how little it is based on empirically proved data. Much of modern day science, especially environmentalism, is based instead on hypothesis and conjecture which is in turn based on...

    Somethings been bugging me

    One thing to remember is that God blesses us all according to His perfect wisdom and total understanding and He gives us gifts differently. Christ spoke of the great ruler who gave to one servant 10 talents to another 5 talents and to another 1 talent. That was the rulers choice and nothing is...

    How did this happen?

    knowledge of a thing doesn't mean you have to desire it. Every day people across the world know what murder is and choose not to do it because they know its wrong. Satan didn't have to desire to be God but he chose to sin. Its all in the choice we make.

    How did this happen?

    Lack of awareness of a things sinfulness doesn't make it not a sin, Eve was decieved and sinned and yet God held her accountable for her sin, but her guilt was not as much as that of Adam's since he knew that he was choosing to sin. Adam and Eve like the heavenly host were created without sin...

    Do You Think the Churches Look Down on People Who Smoke?

    I think it depends on the church, I've been to some that do and some that don't but considering the harm that smoking does to the temple of God which is what our bodies are then how else are we supposed to look at smoking? IN what way is it in any way a good thing?
