  • 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

    Tax church property? Gay marriage court to decide.

    Every Christian should be aware that the same state high court that first imposed gay marriage a decade ago heard arguments yesterday on a case that could result in shutting down churches across Massachusetts, by taxing their land and buildings--a move that could be followed by other states...

    Help me trust the Bible

    Kvothe, I would refer you to two significant predictions can be used to establish the Bible's prophetic track record. First, there is the prediction that the gods of the gentile nations -- Baal, Ashtoreth, Chemosh, Dagon, Artemis, Zeus et al. -- would be abandoned and forgotten, while the God...

    Cold Case Christianity - Atheist trying to convert

    Hi Kvothe, Although I served 10 years as a contributing editor of Dr. Walter Martin's Christian Research Journal, and have authored several books myself on various phases of Christian apologetics, my recommendation would be to read the Bible itself. Or, if you have already done that -- from...

    Wavering Faith

    Chelsi, the notions that bother you -- the idea that God creates people predestined to sin and to burn in hell forever -- does not come from the Bible. Forget about people's "interpretations" of Scripture. Please keep reading the Bible itself, and you will see that God is just and fair and...

    Only one God

    The Apostle Paul wrote at 1 Corinthians 10:20-21, "But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons. You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons." So, we need to be...

    Obey the Supreme Being, not the Supreme Court

    "Peter and the apostles answered, 'We must obey God rather than men.'" - Acts 5:29 "Also remember the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other towns around them. In the same way they were full of sexual sin and people who desired sexual relations that God does not allow. They suffer the...

    Today's Ruling

    Jesus did not directly name homosexuality in the quotes we have from him in the New Testament. But his apostles certainly reflect Jesus' teaching when they condemn the practice, as Paul did in Romans chapter 1, for example. And, Jesus' brother Jude wrote: "Also remember the cities of Sodom...

    False teachers

    It is the risen Christ who has the last word about who is or is not a false teacher in the Church -- not any of us. And he addressed two churches in Revelation (Apocalypse) chapter 2, condemning the individuals in those churches who taught others to practice "sexual immorality" by saying that...

    Facebook is pure poision

    I changed my FB banner to say, Obey the Supreme Being (not the Supreme Court). Most reaction has been supportive, so far, but some has been abusive with four-letter words. David

    Your stand on homosexuality?

    The bottom line is this: What is God's stand on homosexuality? And that is made abundantly clear in the Bible -- the Bible as Jesus' Apostles Peter, Paul and Jude understood it -- not some new interpretation by the apostate churches who say 'God is still speaking' (and contradicting what He...

    Using a name for God in prayer, praise, and worship.

    Amen! If we have received adoption as children of God, as outlined in Romans chapter 8, we can pray like Jesus did. He always called God "Father" or "Abba" (Daddy) in prayer. But our Bible translations should faithfully render a name, whenever there is a name in the original manuscripts. The...

    If evolution is correct, then how did the snake talk?

    Actually, both Yahweh and Jehovah are English language translations of the same Hebrew word that was spelled with four consonants: Yod He Wa He, that can be transliterated into English as YHWH or JHVH. English translators make their own choice whether to go with the "Y" -- resulting in Yahweh...

    US Supreme Court Ducks Marriage Ruling

    The federal government and the states can change their laws, and churches can change their teachings, but God's view of this has not changed: "I the LORD do not change." - Malachi 3:6 “Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould.” - Romans 12:2 JBPhillips...

    Darby vs Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, Wesley, et al

    Amen to depending on Scripture alone! And, while we may take different views on the details, we all look forward eagerly to the return of Christ. David
