  • 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

    What To Expect

    I didn't mean the website was not helpful, actually it is quite detailed. I meant that the church only has Sunday am services and that is it. No mid-week service, no Sunday School or small groups, no mention of children's church, etc. But, yes, the other stuff you answered is helpful!! Thanks!

    What To Expect

    It has been awhile since I looked at this thread, so sorry to come in late. I think I have noticed that there is not much in the way of edification as well. The local Episcopal church here has a website and they have the Sunday am service and that is it. What gives? Do they usually have a...

    Inquiring

    Thanks everyone, I will see if I can get my hands on these. You know, I have attempted to speak to priests locally, but they do not seem receptive. Is the RCC not very active in "recruiting" or conversion attempts? I sent one priest an email and it took over 2 months before I got a...

    What Is Their Error

    Thanks guys! Good stuff. So, when did the RCC go astray with these doctrines and why? Was it gradual, was it certain men? What makes it erroneous? For the sake of argument, the word Trinity is not in the Bible either, nor is the word Bible. Why did it take 1500 years before people...

    What Is Their Error

    I was thinking the other day that I do not know exactly what Protestants believe, or more correctly, why they believe the RCC to be in error. What specifically are the errors? Scriptural reference? When did the error occur or when did they go astray? In no way is this thread to bash...

    Inquiring

    Does anyone recommend a particular book or anything for someone inquiring about Catholicism? I was raised in an area that has very little Catholics. However, in my search for where God wants me, I always come back to the Catholic Church. I know nothing firsthand about it. I have no friends...

    2 Chronicles 7: 14-16

    What about Romans 11:26? All means all and that's all all means. Does it mean in the Tribulation, in the future, now, ????

    Islam

    I can tell you that they are not interested. However, bless you in your endeavor. Jesus commands to go out into all the world preaching the Gospel and making disciples of all nations. Just because it may be close to impossible, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. I think you're looking to...

    2 Chronicles 7: 14-16

    Thank you! Exactly why I brought this up. It becomes easy to take Scripture out of context, which in this case is what my Jewish friend is doing.

    2 Chronicles 7: 14-16

    However, their argument, not mine, is that God states "forever". Not until Messiah comes and changes it all. The OP was asking if this verse is misinterpreted, which it obviously is.

    2 Chronicles 7: 14-16

    While studying the OT last night, I came across this section in 2 Chronicles. Is it possible that this can be misinterpreted as meaning that the Jewish people can be saved without Christ? If their sin is forgiven, then is that not the same? 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall...

    Discussion With A Jewish Man

    And another thing this brings up. We know the Jewish people do not actively seek to convert people. Should we actively seek to convert them? Obviously, the answer is yes as the Great Commission says to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel and make disciples of all nations. But, I...
