  • 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

    Why Can't God Forgive the Way We Can?

    I honestly can't say I'd be willing to suffer and die in such a painful way, even for the sake of humanity. But then, I'm not blameless either, am I? I'm glad God doesn't forgive like we do. I still am having trouble forgiving most people myself, some within my immediate family. It's... a...

    Why is there a god?

    Revelation 22:13 English Standard Version (©2001) "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” If something or someone has always existed, then how can there be a 'before' in the first place?

    How can you be happy

    I don't know that that's accurate. I've had moments where I've had joy and been satisfied in my soul, but wasn't happy. I was in the throes of despair even. And yet... It's hard for me to explain, and a bit personal, so yeah.

    What's your philosophy for Hell? Hell only?

    Yeah it was real funny when they nailed him to the cross. Nevermind the whole 'dying for our sins' part. Haha... haha... ha. The real joke is that most people nit pick the details they want to hear, and chuck the rest. They also don't seem to understand the concepts of justice, choice...

    Gay Pride Parade Fill U.S. Streets

    Tbh, there are certain things in life that need bigots, otherwise people are just going to keep making one mistake after another. That's just in general, btw, not specific to this topic.

    Do you have to go to church in order to have a truly relationship with God?

    Good works, even church attendance, don't save you. Only Christ does. When you realize that then church doesn't seem so important... though I suppose it is for fellowship, so while it's not a sin NOT to go, it might be best to still go so long as it's building you up in Christ.

    Gay Pride Parade Fill U.S. Streets

    I'm posting in the Baptist section. Think about it. Also I like how people are already setting their defenses up against me when I have yet to state my position on the whole issue. The reason I was asking the point of the thread is that it seemed like an attempt to troll. As in, 'is the...

    false church question

    Is there false doctrine? Are there false prophets?

    trying to understand why people don't believe..

    Sin. Rebellion. Perhaps materialism... I dunno. You could write an entire book series on the reasons why they don't. But I think every single reason probably centers around the ego... the self. Why should they believe in a God who should be worshiped and revered above all else in the...

    I am one of the most fortunate persons in the world.

    I know that pride and summer time come before fall... ~Relient K, Wake Up Call. What I'm implying is that pride is perhaps the deadliest sin of all. The evidence of your pride is in the very title of the thread. There is no humility. Christ was humble and obedient to the point of death on a...

    Why is weed a sin

    I personally feel that it's best to stay away from gray areas, just in case.

    How is it possible not to judge?

    Sorry but holding up those signs is not "Christian" activity. Also if I'm guessing right, that's the Westboro church, which has a reputation by themselves for this sort of behavior. Sure I could be said to be judging them, I guess, but it's not because of the signs by themselves. Actions...

    What is hell like

    Hell, no matter what it's other qualities may or may not be, is eternal separation from God with no hope for redemption. While on this earth, yes, we are separated from God because of sin, but we still can accept Christ and be forgiven of all sin, which lifts the separation. Even so, God still...

    Issue of Worshipping Imams/Prophets/Saints..........

    While I agree with the Nicene Creed, I do not submit to it, as it cannot save me. I have faith in Christ, and in a sense I do submit to God in this way, but the submission of Islam is different in my honest opinion. Yes, you can use the literal definition, but it boils down to the 'how' and...

    Reading the Bible as a bedtime story to children?

    Why do you feed milk to a newborn? Why not a burger? It's because they aren't ready for solid food yet. Not to mention a burger being way too big at that point in their development. So it is with the Bible. Telling about King Saul's suicide as a bedtime story would definitely be a bit...
