  • 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

    How many have actually read the Bible?

    All Christians should read the whole Bible (in my opinion). It's hard to read it from beginning to end though. This is largely because you can become bogged down in some quite turgid bits early on in the OT ('Numbers' springs to mind!) There are countless daily reading plans that you can buy...

    I learned a long time ago that none of us have time to read any book twice. (I exclude the Bible from this rule!) Because of this I always give my books away once I've read them. I either give a book to a friend who might find it interesting or (more usually) to the British charity Oxfam...

    Which is the greatest novel of 20th century ?
