  • 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.

    Am I conservative enough to be considered conservative

    No, you're not a conservative Christian, nor are you a liberal Christian. You're a Christian. Even within these categories, you'll never find total agreement among the people there. 1 Corinthians 13:12 is an example of why we have different views, even within the same community. People do tend...

    Questions?

    I don't know anyone who remotely believes what you are assuming they believe. Why do you think anyone believes what you're saying?

    Faith Good?

    Yet there is a distinction between the words. I'm not sure that declaring the question moot is the best way to answer it. To the OP: If I hope and assume that my daughter will return safely from school today, I have faith in many things; such as the competence of the bus driver, the ability of...

    question

    A Fundamentalist should believe what the bible says. A conservative should believe that government should follow the bible. There are folks who might be neither, both, or one but not the other. I believe both.

    Women Can't Preach

    The bottom line is that women are not suited for official worship. If they were, the bible would allow them to preach.

    Women Can't Preach

    Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. It's important to distinguish that Paul meant there was no male nor female under a specific circumstance, and church leadership does not qualify along with many other aspects of daily...

    1 Corinthians 13:10 - What does this verse mean to you.

    This is a lovely passage which is ofter read at weddings. It is one of my favorites. It can be a bit misleading, though. On one hand, Paul speaks of misunderstanding in general based on his phrase "through the glass darkly." He's saying that knowledge is not always pure, and that it can fade...

    Printed in China Bibles

    There are many scriptures concerning the treatment of slaves. These Chinese workers actually earn a wage and seem to be treated in accordance with how the bible says slaves should be treated, which is fairly and justly. Certainly, their working conditions may not be as ritzy as many of us have...

    Educational inconsistencies

    The only curiosity you should have is about the bible. Science has been a parallel for the forbidden fruit, even in our lifetimes. A person who understands the bible is not ignorant, but blessed.

    Christians and Joking

    A priest, a rabbi, and a horse walk into a bar. The bartender says, "what is this? Some kind of joke?"

    Educational inconsistencies

    Out of curiousity, I used a calculator to figure out how many layers of sediment would have been laid down in Green River Wyoming per year, assuming the earth is 6,000 years old and these layers appeared after creation. The answer was 666. It was an odd enough answer that I thought I'd share it.

    Educational inconsistencies

    What many scientists fail to understand is that the Creator has limitless ability. If God decided to make the earth with fossils that are millions of layers deep in sediment, then that's what happened. Green River formation in Wyoming has been counted at over 4 million layers, for example. God...
