  • 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.

    Love for God and All Humanity

    In very early times, the Israelites considered themselves the chosen people of God. All others were aliens. But these people did not love their God as a Heavenly Father; they feared Him as a mighty King. They were the chosen people of this mighty King and all others were their enemies. There was...

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    Yes, you can be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved! St. Paul's condemnation of homosexuals was merely his judgemental opinion, not the Word of God. The same is true of the anti-gay words in the Old Testament. It's time people realised the truth that the Bible is a mixture...

    Clouds in the Bible

    Barry H. Downing was pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church, Endwell, New York. He writes: "The central event in the Old Testament is the Exodus; the Hebrew people were slaves in Egypt, so the Bible reports, and God sent an "angel" to Moses and called him to lead the Israelites out...

    God's True Character

    Jealousy is a harmful human emotion. How can an unconditionally loving, perfect God ever feel such an emotion? If He did, He would be as imperfect as so many imperfect, jealous human beings. How can a sinless God commit the sin of jealousy? One of the greatest Christian leaders, who was loved...

    God's True Character

    God respects our Free Will, and that's why He never wishes to force us to believe in Him. But if we do make the Free Will choice to believe in Him, then a conscious relationship with God will be beneficial to us. God communicates with everyone, including the people who do not believe in Him...

    God's True Character

    God does not require anyone to believe in Him. God communicates with everyone, all of the time, and He is not separate from anyone or anything, but is present everywhere. The Father is the All in All, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Sum Total of everything that ever was, is...

    The Law of God?

    In the Old Testament, there's a long list of dos and don'ts handed down as God's Law. In the Book of Deuteronomy it is written that if a man marries a woman and discovers that she is not a virgin, and if her family cannot provide evidence that she was a virgin before her marriage, "she shall be...

    Is This The Loving Father Jesus Spoke Of?

    God appeared in some passages (of the Bible) to be not only a nationalistic diety but also a sadistic one who delighted even in killing the firstborn in every Egyptian household (EXODUS 11:4--6). The purpose of this exercise, said the biblical writer, was so that all would know "that the Lord...

    Is This The Loving Father Jesus Spoke Of?

    In the Book of Deuteronomy, God says that if a man marries a woman and discovers that she is not a virgin, and if her family cannot prove that she was a virgin before her marriage, "she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death."...
