  • 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

    At Pentagon Christmas Service, Franklin Graham Praises ‘God of War’ “We know that God loves. But did you know that God also hates?"

    You are a good candidate for becoming a follower of Marcion, the church heretic of an early century who taught that the OT god was a different god than the god revealed in Jesus - you know, the guy who drove the money-changers from the temple with a whip he put together himself.

    At Pentagon Christmas Service, Franklin Graham Praises ‘God of War’ “We know that God loves. But did you know that God also hates?"

    There were certain ethnic groups in Canaan that were to be completely eliminated on God's command to Israel. Why? They were offspring of Nephalim, who were part human, part ET (gods). What's wrong with mixed-race offspring? They genetically pollute what Yahweh had created as Adamites (homo...

    At Pentagon Christmas Service, Franklin Graham Praises ‘God of War’ “We know that God loves. But did you know that God also hates?"

    The "root of the problem" in understanding the Bible is that "treating the Bible as a history book" is not what is being done with it. It has become a stack of Rorschach inkblots, removed from historical fact. History is how God communicates his truth to humanity and the central thread of human...

    Eschatology Note # 10

    Eschatology Note # 10 - DLF Humanity has for centuries been viewing the heavens - outer space - for "signs" or indicators meaningful to us. Nowadays it is no different and star-gazing is enhanced by more powerful optical telescopes on earth and in space, and radio-telescopes that can receive...

    Eschatology Note # 9

    Some of the ideas we have in our minds that do not seem to directly relate to eschatology can nevertheless affect how we think about it. One of them is the difference in outlook of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews that contrasts Greek philosophy with a biblical outlook. One particular difference...

    Might the Laws of God actually change on the New Earth?

    Who said anything about outer space? You're reading what I am not writing.

    Might the Laws of God actually change on the New Earth?

    Did I say anyone was having sex with Mary? What do you know about artificial insemination? Or about genetic modification of human DNA? The more advanced beings called angels would, even if you are ignorant of the possibilities.

    Another look at the moon landing.

    The categorization to me that is most useful regarding experts vs non-experts is that there are people - maybe 5 % to 20 % of the population - who have developed skills at doing two things: 1. dig - investigate and find factual claims and assess their veracity; and 2. think - for themselves...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    I do not share your view that anything should be (uncritically) "left to the experts". There is a scene in the movie Lorentzo's Oil, based on a true-life story, where Lorenzo's parents (Augusto and Michaela Odone - real persons) had been studying for themselves what is causing the leukodystrophy...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    I believe you know which responses I was referring to. And now that you bring up "flat earth", it occurred to me the other day that time zones also pose a problem in explanation given that the earth is flat because the sun would be shining everywhere on a planar surface if it were above it...

    Another look at the moon landing.

    I was replying to the expression "covid vaccine". None exists as such if the medical definition of vaccine is heeded. That is a problem in itself.

    Might the Laws of God actually change on the New Earth?

    Yes, this is a recounting of the mainstream suppositions about the event. I offer an alternative without claiming that "genetics" or through whom the H.S. worked to accomplish Mary's pregnancy occurred, etc. is in the biblical text. (Reading the Trinity into Genesis 1 is not in there either...

    Might the Laws of God actually change on the New Earth?

    No it does not - at least not in the sense I described. We know he did not have premarital sex with Mary, but that does not rule out that his altered genetics were involved in Mary's conception. Once she was impregnated by the higher beings called angels, she was perhaps no longer a "virgin"...
