  • 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

    Paul Vs James

    dnich163 I guess you are saying that you back Paul then. This seems right to me from what I understand. It certainly ties in with the history of the church; Paul with the book and Peter with the keys of the kingdom. David [/B] Eph replies... I back the weight of scripture on...

    Gabriel said I'll let God speak for Himself on that one: Rpmans 9:13-16 13As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” 14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and...

    Is that what God is...?

    I believe that God is LOVE...but not that "Love is God".... Love is only 1 of God's personality traits...of which he has many.. He is love...but he can hate...be angry....be mad...be happy...be jealous...and he can be selfish too...! ...and YES I do have scripture for all that...! ;)
