  • 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

    Message for muslim Allah

    The god in Quran is different than the God in Bible. For example, multiple Quran verses stats that God is best of the deceivers(Qur'an 3:54, Qur'an 7:99, Qur'an 8:30, Qur'an 10:21 and more). Qur'an 3:54 And they cheated/deceived and God cheated/deceived, and God (is) the best (of) the...

    Why is there suffering if God is real?

    There must be evil and good, as we are not robots. We must go through those tribulations as we must accept (or reject God) by our own will, God will not force people to go to heaven. Due to this complexity (i.e. He will not force us and we must come willingly, but yet we have the tendency to...

    Heaven and Earth

    I doubt Jesus is talking about the Mosaic law (especially the ones on ceremonials). He is talking about the law that God put in our heart, i.e. Love God and Love your neighbor, pull your enemy's ox out of the ditch. In case I am wrong, also note it says "least in the kindom of heaven", so law...

    Understanding the Trinity

    After many years with the same question i realized that it is not something we can understand. It is something we observe. I.e. how come light is both a practical and wave? It is something we observed but we might never fully understand.

    I am seeking answers on multiple questions about Christianity as a muslim that is curious and lost

    about one God: Jesus is the word of God, and God is a infinitely complex unity, with word, spirit. It is like God's word is God, God's spirit is also God (vs in Islam Jesus is spirit of God). Jesus is what God send down to purify us, an example is only clean water cleans, dirty water will get...

    Buddhist Mindfulness and Christian Vigilance.

    I used to do this a lot before became a Christian, it feels rather different when you are "in the calmness" (I think most people give up if they don't feel it) and still do it a bit from time to time. The major difference I think is for Buddhist, it is a way to enlightening, but for Christians...

    Can a skeptic on the fence have a personal encounter with God?

    In my experience God only do it in extreme situations (the conversion of Paul, or in heavily persecuted countries such as Iran). Most of us have something that is less dramatic, to me it is a slow but constant "experiencing" of God. I know that after I became a Christian I am a changed man...

    Spiritual conflict of devotion

    No one can face God (the Father) directly. in OT most people when they see angles of the Lord they are afraid they are going to die. God even covered Moss's eyes before walk before him. Jesus is also God (word of God, or son of God), but he is the part of God we can see and through him we...

    Salvation for Non Christian

    Understood, but I quoted the original hebrew, which is הַגֵּר֙, alien, strangers, not converts. Deuteronomy 28:43 Interlinear: the sojourner who is in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;. And in Isaiah 56:6-8, it is also talking about the foreigners who...

    Salvation for Non Christian

    Nothing is wrong about proselytes, the word used in Rev 28:43 is foreigners (Hagr), see Deuteronomy 28:43 Interlinear: the sojourner who is in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;. And Nicolas in Acts only share a name with Nico in Rev, so no one is sure if...

    Type of toxic people - Narcissist

    Understand. I would say the green box (Love your neighbor) actually are over all other boxes, as Yeshua said it is the biggest law of them all. It is very difficult though as none of us are capable of it not for God's grace.

    Salvation for Non Christian

    There are many gentiles saved, the hooker, Jude, even a Judge of Isreal is gentile. All that required is a heart to follow God, if you look at what the Isrealites did during the time, God punish them for what they did, and if gentiles follow God, God accepts them. The people in Canaan was...

    Type of toxic people - Narcissist

    We are all sinners, and most of the time we like to think ourselves are in the right. comfy8 is correct, pray for them. Only God can wake us. By the way, I used to believe in evolution, not any more. To me now evolution is more like parameter tuning instead of full scale change, i.e. gear...

    Is Christianity right?

    Agreed. You should not just follow the religion of your parents. You should follow God. My parents are all atheists, yet I follow God (I tried Buddhism before, also researched Judaism and Islam just to be sure). They don't follow Islam strictly. If you have read the ahadith on war and loot...

    Which Commandments?

    This is my believe that baptize is only a ritual and not required as the theif who died on cross was not baptized. Believe is the only thing that is required.
