  • 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 do You Mean by Believe?

    Exodus 21:23-25 and other passages in the Torah clearly state, “an eye for an eye”. Judaism was all about punishment in time, and throughout the Old Testament people and the nation of Israel itself was punished or reward in this life. The idea of eternal judgment with eternal reward or...

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    The problem with universalist is that they seem to deny the existence of evil. I don't believe in universalism because evil does exist. I would say that angels were given righteousness by God and demons were not. Most humans were given righteousness, but some were not. This means Calvinism or...

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    Salvation by faith, but is that faith in the teachings of Christ, or faith in the essence of Christ?

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    The Law of God given to Moses is not cancelled or voided. There is an eye for an eye. There is measure punishment for sin. There are many passages in the Bible that you are absolutely convinced are taking about eternal judgment, but if you read them carefully, they could be talking about...

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    It has been said that an eye for an eye makes the world blind. Perhaps God does not want us to execute retributive justice, but eye for an eye was repeated by God so there must be some meaning to it. Throughout the Old Testament there was punishment and reward, often collective, but executed...

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    As I said some references to heaven, judgment and being saved are referring to temporal judgment in this life.

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    There is disagreement concerning the teachings of Christ. That is why forums like this one exist. If you are correct many kind-hearted non-Christians will miss out on Heaven. This may be true. We should hope that I am correct, that God will redeem all love and destroy all evil. Even...

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    I respect that belief, and it is what Christians have believed for many centuries, but it could turn out to be true that to believe in Jesus is to believe in His essence, not His teachings.

    What do You Mean by Believe?

    If you read it carefully, the Bible does not actually say that only Christians will have eternal life in Heaven. Jesus is the only way to the Father, but this does not tell us that we must be a Christian to go to the Father. It only tells us that those who go to the Father, will go there...

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

    Forever and ever has to do with time. If time comes to an end, then forever and ever comes to an end. The kingdom of God may be on another timeline, or a completely different big bang. If our current timeline is eternal, does that mean that God (outside of time) is forever adding to the...

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

    Revelation says that the devil will be tormented day and night, forever. Revelation also says that time will come to an end. Even Satan may not face eternal torment. Jesus said that God is kind to the unthankful and the evil.

    Jesus is still alive

    The destruction of the temple was years later. The great majority of these people would be dead before the temple was destroyed. As Jesus told the weeping women, weep not for me, but for yourselves and your children. It would be mostly the children of that generation who would see the...

    Jesus is still alive

    Jesus is at the right hand of God until His enemies are made His footstool. So that relationships of Jesus at the right hand of God comes to an end. What else happens at the wedding of the Lamb? Does Jesus change to His glorified body? Who knows all the meaning of what Jesus said and what will...

    Jesus is still alive

    When Jesus said "This generation will not pass" it is taken to prove that the events He listed in Matthew 24 would all be fulfilled in the first century. This argument is not as solid as some believe since there is a member of that generation (Jesus) who is still alive.
