  • 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.

    Shout to the Lord

    Can anyone tell me which part of the Bible Darlene Zschech's song "Shout to the Lord" is based on. I thought it was psalms, but now I'm not too sure. Shout to the Lord all the earth...power and majesty praise...mountains bow down and the seas will roar etc etc. I'm trying to avoid copyright...

    Fave worship music

    A couple of years ago our worship team ditched alot of old songs and produced a list of about 50 up to date ones (Open the Eyes of My Heart, Breathe, One Way etc) for us to choose from in an attempt to be contemporary. The worship almost fell apart. There is so much power in alot of the older...

    Why did God/Jesus have to die?

    When Adam and Eve sinned, it brought evil into the world and man was separated from God. The only way for the people to have communion with God was to perform animal sacrifices, because only death (blood) can cover sin. The animal blood, however, only COVERED sin, it did not REMOVE it, and so...

We don't sing that many hymns any more, just the relevant ones, like And Can it Be?. We used to sing a lovely Hebrew song called 'Who is like You'. Our worship is...

    Does God punish?

    From what I have seen and experienced, God will punish as a last resort. No father likes to punish his children, and God will never do so without plenty of warning. Take for example (I hope the wounds are not still too raw) the Indonesian tsunami. Christians were out in Asia and Indonesia for...

    Death Sentence?

    I'm not sure either. There is the eye for eye, tooth for tooth thing, because the death penalty is justice for murder. But I can't get past the awful thought of sending someone to hell for all eternity. You're not just ending the life of the person, but also sending them into the next, and if...

    Satanism

    I'm doing research for a novel and/or screenplay which shows the horrific, destructive, soul destroying, life wrecking reality of involvement in the occult and satanism. My main question is: what do high ranking satanists do or attempt to do to coven members who convert to Christianity? Better...
