  • 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.

    Beliefs besides Jesus

    Forgive me for stating the obvious, but God of the Bible is a big subject. There have been many good posts in this thread with many important Bible passages. God is both a God of judgment and a God of mercy and patience. It is often heart-in-the-throat frightening to make your way through...

    Did Jesus Believe in a Literal Creation?

    Why do people think that human breakthroughs are news to God? My choice of words failed to really express that what I mean is that, other than sexual differences, any other differences would most likely bring on immune system reactions to "transplants". The "bone of my bone, flesh of my...

    Did Jesus Believe in a Literal Creation?

    This webpage completely misses that neither Jesus nor Matthew nor Mark changes Moses original proposition. The NT passage says FOR THIS REASON, the OT passage says THEREFORE. This webpage does not bother to address this. The OT THEREFORE refers to Adam saying "Bone of my bone, flesh of my...

    Pray for me until June 13th!!!!!!!! `

    And you will make up for lost time. Heaven is better than anyone can imagine. I can imagine that those that miss that time of growing up, from either the parent or child point of view, can make up that lost time in heaven. Why not? God has made us to love parenting and love childhood...

    You are not scum. I hope whatever Big Fish that has swallowed you will vomit you out soon!!! 5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head. 6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind...

    Workplace Nightmares

    Hug and y'all, Remember there is a "cloud of witnesses" that not only witnessed God and everything He has expressed to mankind, but also would back you up in an instant if it would have any effect ("even if one were to return from the dead, they would not repent"). Sometimes the most...

    Did Jesus Believe in a Literal Creation?

    Both Matthew and Mark chronicle that Jesus made this assertion: “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5“and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6“So then...

    Martin Luther: Faith Only includes Baptism

    I should add that Paul makes a distinction between the baptism into John and the baptism into Christ because repentence is just the beginning of what Jesus is about. Being immersed into the teachings of John was only a fraction of what it is to be immersed into Christ. That is why Paul had to...

    Martin Luther: Faith Only includes Baptism

    Have you guys considered all the different meanings even Jesus gave the word "baptism"? Matthew 20 22Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? Luke 12 49"I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already...
