  • 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

    Missionary Ethics

    Thank you so much for your great insight! I understand much better now. I know some missionaries who did it for the stuff but other missionaries who did it for God. I'm afraid my experience with missionaries has not been the best. One family really stands out from the others, though. This...

    Literal Days?

    HaHA! All the best to you! There aren't many graduate programs at my school so I will ultimately be moving on. I have a lot to learn :D

    Literal Days?

    Putting my head in the sand never served me well. I have every intention of asking questions for the rest of my life :)

    American Fundamentalist Christianity

    I'm half-British and I live in the Bible Belt. My parents met in a Spirit filled church in a completely different geographic location but moved to the belt for an employment opportunity. I grew up in an ultra-conservative/fundie church (that is a story for another day). While I agree that...

    Literal Days?

    I had to go back to my original post to refresh my memory as to what my question was. I have gained quite a bit of understanding from this forum thread alone, not to mention the secondary study of bible and science it has prompted me towards. The original question is regarding "literal days" in...

    Literal Days?

    Thanks for posting and for advice. Don't you think Christ would have wanted us to ask questions about the world and what He meant?

    Literal Days?

    A few years ago I was a young Earth creationist. Now I accept evolution. I will deal with it when I get there.

    Literal Days?

    Thanks for the links! I read them. Clearly there were mountains forming. Surely they were not as developed as they are now, though. I don't know how to reconcile everything. I don't have the research tools I need and I am not an expert in geology. I do have access to geology journals, however. I...

    I can't post links yet, that's why it's deleted from the section above.

    Literal Days?

    Thanks for this link! I skimmed the first section. It is so big! I will print it and try to read it all this weekend, highlighting and noting as I often do :)

    Literal Days?

    Okay, "duh" moment...assuming no error, Pangaea would have already begun to break up by the time man came along. I don't know...wanna give my mountain question a try anyway? lol.

    Literal Days?

    Okay, I'm going to throw this out there and if it's silly, fine. I don't know much about geology and I have inadequate reference materials with me right now. This would make a great research project for someone, though, I'm sure! Assume that Pangaea has not separated. What is the consensus on...

    Missionary Ethics

    I really appreciate your insight! You are absolutely right. Thank you so much for your encouragement :) I will remember it. I reread what I wrote last night and it sounds vague and judgmental. I could have done a better job expressing myself so I will do that now. I really have a burning...

    Literal Days?

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly in your second paragraph - are you saying there's little/no evidence of a worldwide flood? I agree it is a derail though because I'm not as familiar with that or with the evidence in support of it. I saw a documentary on it though (yeah yeah, worse...
