  • 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

    Is God's "Free" Gift of Salvation Really Free?

    When I joined the United States Navy I had a obligation to be where they wanted me, how they wanted me, and when... They asked one time to sit and look pretty. They asked me to reach in murky water to tie off a boom. No matter what they asked it was expected and agreed to that I would do what...

    Is God's "Free" Gift of Salvation Really Free?

    If I give you a dog for free is he a free gift? Don't get me wrong. Jesus ' s gift is beyond a free dog however the concept is that if I give you a dog you have to feed it. You have to teach it, you have to walk it... This takes time and money. What do you get out of that free dog that doesn't...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    I don't think you understand what I am saying. When you see how Jesus talked to the Jews who came to say they were from the seed of Abraham. Jesus did not say "you can believe what you want, I still love you" he said that I'd they were from Abraham they would not try kill Him. He then...

    The Rosary

    I am so disheartened. I can't quite grasp the idea that this is real. I guess it's like what I read the other day and will share but I really had no idea that the faith whom claims to go all the way back to Peter is so blind and deaf to The Word. We truly are at the end of days where good is...

    What is the book of Revelation all about ?

    What about the 144,000 Jewish tribes? What about those seen in heaven as the # no man can count? What about the 2nd group seen before the plagues that didn't take the mark? And most importantly in your version where and when was the 2 witnesses? Who for 3 days laid dead in Jerusalem killed by...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    I round up to the nearest denominator. It was how I was taught in school. You know that doctrine you speak of? Lol I really am getting a kick out of you. I picture you as my father in law. He is 80+ years and likes to say things like "cleanliness is next to godliness" knowing it gets me...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    The one-world religion described inRevelation 17:1–18 as “the great harlot” will be part of the end-times scenario. The termharlot is used throughout the Old Testament as a metaphor for false religion. The actual identity and makeup of the religion has been debated for centuries and has resulted...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    mine too Long-yes false-nope I shared a experience on CF. I was talking to OP on this one and said what I did when confronted on something that was false doctrine. Since I was not giving doctrine it can't be false. Was I correct on how I handled it? I am not sure but it's what I did. I...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    This is a more recent study: Just under half of Americans (45 percent) say there are many ways to heaven—which conflicts with traditional views about salvation being linked to faith in Jesus. Catholics (67 percent) and Mainline Protestants (55 percent) are most likely to say heaven’s gates are...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    The 22 percent are of the professing christians. Only 22 of the 75 percent who claim to be a Christian believe: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me

Or you trust this... I go to church I believe there is a god I believe in the good of people I believe that God is...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    However, this is the problem...... What Is a Christian? Should Christians (those that believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and the following of Christ [as word Christ'ian] ) change our Name to maybe First Christians? Or maybe 'Only Christians' if Christians go to a Christian...

    How to Respond to False Doctrine

    I am rather new to CF and recently went on a thread that commented about the pope saying he was offended (my words) with the wording 'mother of bombs' I thought about his argument that a mother is nurturing and not a killer (my words) and I gave the original poster my view which was that there...
