  • 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

    Do you think it's Christian to own guns?

    Apart from those needing them for living - do you think people should own guns? I cannot tie Jesus up with a gun-owner that has them for the sake of having them. I haven't read any other responses. I don't think I understand how it's a right or wrong decision or how someone owning it 'for the...

    Is it a sin to smoke marijuana?

    ]Alcohol is not called outright a sin in the Bible. In fact, it is even said to enjoy it in all merriness. I don't believe God is completely against mind altering substances, it is just sinful to be dependent on them and prove them to be vices in your life. The Bible disproves of alcoholism...

    Is it wrong to continue dating someone once you know you are not going to marry them?

    In my opinion, if God has already confirmed to you that this person is not to be your spouse, there is no reason to continue in the relationship. Date Jesus, per se, and grow in the mighty woman of God that you are called to be until God sends THE ONE: a mighty man of God, to you. Do not settle...

    Dating is adultery. One cannot twist it in any other way. How is dating adultery?

    Same-sex marriages are now legal in Florida

    About the bolded portion: You mean like Scriptures that contradict the whole "Sodom was destroyed because of the gays!!" :mad: It doesn't matter if there is only one Scripture in the whole bible that says that when God instituted marriage that it was between a male and female. That's all there...

    Is it a sin to smoke marijuana?

    I don't know what anyone else wrote. But this one is pretty cut and dry. Romans 13: Let every person be in subjection to the government authorities (local, state, federal). For their is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists...

    The Christian cult of the family

    Calling the family unit a cult is incorrect. There CAN BE idolatry in families. However, anything can and is idolatry today.

    The Christian cult of the family

    With the recent court decision and people drawing hard lines on both sides, I can see how these Scriptures come to mind. They did for me, too. I don't think, however, that they are being used to reference the negativity of family or that churches are wrong in supporting a strong family unit. If...

    Obey the Supreme Being, not the Supreme Court

    Psalm 94:14-16 For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. For judgment will again be righteous; And all the upright in heart will follow it. Who will stand up for me against evil doers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness? 20-23 Can...

    On top of my Christmas list...

    My experience has been the opposite. And I'm from the deep South. I was in the South in the 70'/80's. I attended a Christian school and there was not one black student. The church I attended had not one black congregant. The neighborhood I lived in had not one black family. Not until we moved...

    Let's remove the German flag, as well. Why should it fly in our country?
