  • 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

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    "True Christian unity includes uniformity in holding to the dogmas and doctrines of the faith." That's your opinion, and I don't share your opinion. I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    What does it matter if we believe different things around Mary? Sure there's different interpretations of the bible. And we may even draw on different sources for our beliefs. The thing that unites us, brother, is our love for God and for Jesus. Unity does not mean uniformity. We need not all be...

    The Da Vinci Hoax by Carl Olson and Sandra Miesel

    Thanks for the tip on the other book. Nice to hear about the Pastor taking it off the library shelves! :)

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    By your "book" I'm assuming you mean the bible? The bible is often thought of as the only vehicle God uses for His Word. This is simply not true. The bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit spreads God's Word through many more means than the bible, through prophets...

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    Pardon me for using the word "created". The phrasing I should have used is Mary and Jesus lived in the Divine Will. I said "Which helps the person not sin" and you said "...Know no affinity for sin". Are you getting caught up in semantics? I said "we struggle with sin so much because we are...

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    For Scoop, dear Father in heavan, please give Scoop all the grace he requires to face his illness. Send your Comforter that he is strengthened in mind and heart. Draw him powerfully to Jesus, and help him abandon himself completely to your Will. I ask this in Jesus' name and thru the...

    question about Mary and a prayer request

    One thing that springs to my mind as I read the great responses to this question is the Divine Will movement. Adam and Eve were created in the Divine Will. It was very hard for them to sin in this nature. However, once they sinned, it became much easier for them to sin, after that. Mary...

    It's been one year today ...

    Hi there; Wow, I'm sorry for your loss. I have a black standard poodle (I don't cut him like a french poodle, he's like a teddy bear) and he's my first dog. They are friends, family members, little examples of God's unconditional love, and therapeutic through hard times. I'm glad you...

    Impressed by the Pope? VOTE!

    So true, Blue Impulse. I love that...he's not a street performer... And right on to the person who said if the polls were reversed we'd be wondering if he was appealing to the secular crowd. Oh, I feel like I've found a wonderful site indeed. Happy Easter everyone Luv, Lili

    Suicidal thoughts

    Hi Judy; I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Untreated depression leads to suicide. There is a chemical cause for some depression and are you under medical supervision? You may need anti-depressants. A diabetic takes pills, a person with high blood pressure takes pills. Please let...

    The Da Vinci Hoax by Carl Olson and Sandra Miesel

    This book refutes The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It's really well written. It explores the reasons this book became a best seller. It describes the history of the gnostic gospels, what they teach and how the tenets of the Da Vinci Code fly in the face of historical facts. I've never...
