  • 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

    Hell doesn't exist as a concept in the bible and was man-made

    Malachi 4:3-4 Refers only to a one time event in this world "in that day". It does not refer to eternal punishment.

    Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

    Without addressing any particular post here is my view on Biblical "eternal punishment" Jeremiah 13:11 (11) For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I [God] caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto...

    Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

    Could you please provide scripture to support his statement "As far as Sheol, it’s actually divided into two separate places. Abraham’s Bosom is the place for the righteous, and Hades is the place for the wicked where they do suffer in torment until judgment day when they will be judged then...

    Uh oh... We're EXPOSED???

    No a new owner took over some years ago and I'm not sure but think CF might have changed hands more than once.

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    All somewhat interesting but my post #82, from June 2025, above remains unaddressed.

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    I see some insinuations but no specifics.

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    I disagree, if GOD had chosen to, the body of Jesus would not have seen corruption no matter how long He laid in the grave. And to repeat a previous post. All four gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on παρασκευήν/paraskeve. The Greek name for the day we call Friday and which means...

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    You ask questions of me but have not replied to the questions I asked "a few unsupported accusations none of which begins to address any of the scripture I quoted. Please be so kind as to show me where I misquoted or quoted out-of-context any of the verses I quoted." And my post#82 has not been...

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    You begin with a personal attack then quite a few unsupported accusations none of which begins to address any of the scripture I quoted. Please be so kind as to show me where I misquoted or quoted out-of-context any of the verses I quoted.

    Yehovah God will not send you to Hell!

    Odd, with some posters claiming that all mankind will be saved, that this post has not been soundly refuted by those who believe in universal reconciliation.

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    When I first joined, about 20 yrs ago, I posted as Old Shepherd then the original owner Irwin Loh asked me to join the staff. My posts were sometime a bit abrasive and Irwin chastised me since I was on staff. That is when I took the additional name of Der Alte, German for the elder, for posting...

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    I did not mean to imply such, general comment.

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    I agree and that does not contradict anything I posted. Some "scholars" use all sorts of of varying interpretations trying to "prove" that the crucifixion was not on Parasceue but on some other day.

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    I may have as I said I have been on CF since at least 1990. When I first joined CF the original Owner Irwin Loh contacted me and personally asked me to be a mod. Some of my posts were a bit abrasive and he privately admonished me so I added Der Alte for posting so as not to bring trouble to CF.
