  • 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

    A Palestinian activist expecting a U.S. citizenship interview is arrested instead by ICE in Vermont

    Well, here is what I offered > What I mean by deporting from a womb is aborting a baby from the mother's womb. And my point is that ones are getting very upset about people being returned to their home country . . . right while those upset people have even no problem with killing an unborn baby...

    I need help with discernment

    God will guide you in His peace > "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15) So, obey God in His peace, and you will see what He does with you. Even if it was not His providence, now you can obey Him and He...

    A Palestinian activist expecting a U.S. citizenship interview is arrested instead by ICE in Vermont

    To my knowledge, there are ones of Palestine who want to destroy Israel. And there were ones actively attacking Jewish students in the United States. Stuff like that. However, in the United States, **according to the Constitution** a person has the right to be considered innocent until proven...

    A Palestinian activist expecting a U.S. citizenship interview is arrested instead by ICE in Vermont

    So, it looks like ones are saying the ICE people are deporting people who should not be deported? Meanwhile - - certain, not all, ones criticizing ICE are ok with deporting unborn babies from their mother's wombs. So . . . let the one without sin cast the first stone?? It is said that some...

    Every church in America needs armed security

    In American history . . . I have been told . . . church culture people were involved in hanging a Quaker woman. And it seems there were no genuinely Christian people with power of *effective* leadership to stop that. And yet . . . were those murderers making rules against guns in a church...

    Spiritual not religious

    There are Bible claiming people who say they are "born again", and not "religious". But you need to make sure what they mean. Because it is written > "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from...

    Spiritual not religious

    Yup . . . I would hope to hear someone speak for oneself, about what the person means. If the "I'm spiritual" thing means the person leaves Jesus out . . . uh-uh. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (in John 14:6) So, Jesus is...

    Every church in America needs armed security

    There are ones who can gave guns, but they do not protect themselves from arguing and complaining and food abuse. They can have major emotional problems, while "strong" enough to train for using a gun to protect their churches, but they do not function in grace which guards their own hearts and...

    Every church in America needs armed security

    First is how Jeaus gives us "rest for your souls." (in Matthew 11:29) This gives us ***His*** sense of security. Then see how He has us seeing things. I think of how Jesus says not to be troubled as we see things of this evil world > "see that you are not troubled," He says in Matthew 24:6...

    lonely alcoholic

    While you are into drinking, this is not helping you to prepare for a good companion. And you seem to be looking for people who are more like yourself. We need to share with mature Jesus people who help us to become stronger and mature in Christ.

    Theism and Pan-en-theism

    I admit I did a little AI check. Maybe the difference is that pantheism means all in existence is God . . . while pan-en-theism means God is different than non-divine things. And it seems that secular pan-en-theism reduces God so He can be influenced by non-divine beings, and He does not have...

    Salvation in a moment versus moment-by-moment motives

    One turns from self and one's sins and gets forgiven and adopted as a child of God. Because one has trusted in Jesus > "we who first trusted in Christ" > in Ephesians 1:12 "But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17) Then comes learning and discovering and...

    A question I’ve been reflecting on about church buildings

    Jesus did ***give*** "some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers" (in Ephesians 4:11). But then was when no one was a mature saint with decades of maturing and experience. And so . . . possibly . . . this is why our Apostle Paul does not list any "gift"...

    It's like how you can use a pagan's yew tree.

    So unhappy

    Jesus says > "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (in Luke 9:23) A cross of hard wood and its scraping splinters and its cold nails might not change. But how you are changed by God is what matters! And this includes how God has...
