  • 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 are the commandments of Christ?

    Then why did He speak to people; why did He die for us? What is then the difference between His teaching and any other secular teachings (see Buddhism, Confucianism (I gave this examples because I find them very good, but not divine)). We, orthodox people have a saying "Do what the priest...

    In the Beginning

    There is so much to say about this. The genesis is also a very controversial part of the bible, and I won't argue about the validity of what I believe about it only using facts in it's content. So, I believe they were built to live forever; I won't go into a logical paradox saying they were...

    Salvation by faith alone and hell

    I would like all the christians who share the belief that salvation comes from faith alone, to say if they believe in a literal hell or not. Just curious, as I tend to believe they don't believe in a literal hell.

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    If there is no hell, why did the demons in Luke 8:31 asked Jesus not to make them return into the deep ? The demons have already been cast away from God, so it wasn't that that hurt them.... what whas it then..... ??? Perhaps an everlasting lake of fire tormenting them forever ? Perhaps...

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    Not erally. I don't know what kind of Orthodox Chridian you are, or what you have been taught, but, as far as I know orthodox customs, and readings, hell is quite the lake of fire the bible speaks about. We beleive that it is a place of eternal PUNISHMENT (see, the real Orthodox christian is...

    For atheists -- how did the writing center in the brain evolve?

    Ok, I don't have to give links to anyone, beacause I thought the writing center was common knowledge; or at least here in Romania, all the people that finished a highschool should know what it is. 1. I didn't call it a writing center! It was the people who studied it that did so. So --- my...

    For atheists -- how did the writing center in the brain evolve?

    1) If you have skipped your biology classed, references can be found with google. Yes there is such a center, I've studied it in highschool; it was among the smelling, tasting etc. centers. 2) Corse I didn't think writing is wire in the brain; What I obviously ment, was to ask why is there...

    For atheists -- how did the writing center in the brain evolve?

    My question is, why do we have a separate writing center in our brains since: 1) writing has been with us for what? 6.000 years? 10.000 years? 2) untill a few hundred years ago, most people were illiterate, and a lot are today ; why then have a writing center? 3) while writing in diffrent...

    Dumb question #402

    It's not really the head that you should cover :) Better cover the breasts,legs and other parts.. The whole covering thing was meant not to distract men in the church. You could just wear a hat and it would be enough. Best advice is -- don't wear tight clothes, short blouses or skirts (the...

    Certain Music... evil..??

    You're missinterpreting the bible -- the context was FOOD, not music. How about porn moovies? Is it a sin or not? If the message is of violence, hate etc. : It doesn't affect you -- so WHY BOTHER listening to it? Define "I like music". There MUST be a reason you like it, so you pursue...

    What is the soul; where does Satan fit in modern science?

    First of all, I'd like to ask what exactely is the soul? I recieved an orthodox education, but whenever I asked about the soul the answers were not satisfying. Is the soul the same as someone's consciousness? What happens when you loose your consciousness then? Or is the soul something that...

    The cross

    Yes, sure, some christians wear crosses with Jesus still in them (or paint icons) for almost 2000 years, and you the great teologian ban it overnight. Actually all the crosses are empty; and also it's obvious Jesus couldn't have died twice -- just so because I hate the common expressions such as...
