  • 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

    What exactly is a liberal Christian?

    I am confused as to why we are even discussing this when the Bibel is so explicitly clear on the issue. Homosexuality is wrong, period. Don't bother going into finicky little translation discrepencies. God meant for man and women to be together, shouldn't that settle it?

    Are you a liberal or conservative Christian?

    I believe the Bible. I believe in Justification by faith. I believe Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation. I belive that on our own we can never choose Christ. I also believe in the Lord's Supper and headcoverings. Does that make me conservative? No, it makes me Biblical.

    The role of a woman

    So what if the Bible says that women should be submissive, that dosen't have anything to do with " males demanding submission." They way the Bible talks, submissions is not supposed to be a burdensome thing, it is something that should not have to be forced uopn a women. But if they are...

    What do I, a LDS, believe vs. the Bible

    "The Catholic Church does not hold to Sola Scriptura, but everyone here acknowledges that they are Christian." No,not everyone. My response is goin to consist of quotes taken carm org. Please visit for futher clarification. "The reason Mormonism is not Christian is because it, like any other...

    About churches

    Dear Arikereba I found it very interesting to read your article, but could I just mention a few things. "I have seen what so many of my friends have gone through because of their churches, the fear and loathing that can result from continually being told that you personally are responsible...

    Falling Away...

    Hey,I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to be rude. Yes,I aggree completely with you in that 'Christians cannot kick it into neutral for awhile.' I see it over and over around me, and I myself fall into the trap more often then I'd like. All we are doing is quenching the Holy Sprit. Whats...

    Falling Away...

    If we're trying to remain in Christ, if it's up to us, then we're garunteed to fall into sin, and eventually fall away. The point is is that it's Christ who holds us. Our works don't make us be closer to God, yes they are the fruits of the Spirit. By the way, sarcasm is never a good way to get...

    Does God plan for us 2b unfaithful?

    Good questions Shack! I would urge you to read through Ephesians 2. It talks alot about humans being dead in their sin, unable, unwilling to 'decide for Him.' After the fall, we are all defiled, depraived, corrupt sinners, naturally we are haters of God, we want nothing to do with Him. Oh...

    The role of a woman

    "Look around and you will see men have a harder time on their walk with God then women do." Appreciate your comments secret dawn, but perhaps your comment may just be a tad on the naive side. Do you honestly think that? Where is the Biblical evidence to back it up? Does God actually make it...

    Falling Away...

    What do you mean be "truly saved"? What do I mean? I am talking about saving faith, faith that dosen't just quit. And this leads in to another question, just because we "make a desision for Christ" does that really make us saved. Is everyone who says this going to heaven, no, of course not. I...

    Falling Away...

    I do not profess to know all there is to know about that verse, but I do know that those whom God has truly saved, can never "fall away." "My Father has given them to me and NO ONE can snatch them out of my hand" Once in the arms of Christ, He will not let you go, He will not. IT's times like...

    The role of a woman

    "Given that many denominations ordain female clergy, many Christians disagree with you." Well, many denominations might disaggree, but really they would not be disaggreeing with me, they'd be disaggreing with the Bible. These are not my opinions by the way. And if you ever do see my opinions...

    lesbianism might be permissible?

    Well...Amen! Yes, I aggre, but I also aggree that the word of God explains itself, and if we look hard enough the answer will always be there! But yes, I aggree completely that when in doubt, we should pray about it (fortunatly though, the Bible leaves no doubt for lesbianism) Ben

    The role of a woman

    Well, I appreciate your response, I also appreciate you doing it without anger or sarcasm! I did not say anything about prophesying though, I believe that women prophesying is Biblical. Look at Phlip's four daughters! I was talking about women having authority over men in the church. Preaching...

    lesbianism might be permissible?

    Fair enough secret dawn. So what happens when they stand before the judgement seat of Christ, on all on this earth everyone kept saying "it's ok. I accept you just the way you are" and no one ever told her the truth." "Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones" The Bible...
