  • 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

    Help! How do i quit Masterbating?

    Peace friend. As an Eastern Orthodox, you should speak to your spiritual father about this. That's what he's there for. I've spoken to Orthodox Priests before, and believe me, there isn't a "sin" under heaven they haven't heard of before. This is a fairly common "sin" and you probably...

    Theology, theology....who's got the best theology?

    My friend, Then we have both been uplifted from this. That is great! The tendency on boards like this is to argue and fight. It's hard not to slip into defensive mode here. Love and Peace ;), Father J

    Theology, theology....who's got the best theology?

    catechumen, So if I were to revise my statement, in such a way as to express that some things were closer to truth than others, that would avoid the fallacy? If I claim that love and peace are absolute truth, and that those religions who pursue love and peace are closer to the truth than...

    Could someone explain Christian beliefs about Jsus?

    Hello skillganon, There is no definition of the trinity in the Bible. The one substance with three persons concept came centuries after Jesus. Blessings, Father J

    Theology, theology....who's got the best theology?

    Hey, that was great. Thank you. But I guess Im left with the why. Why does absolute truth need to exist in order for relative truth to be true? Is this fallacy being applied properly? How do we know for sure? And, of course, Im speaking about spiritual truth, not some other definible...

    Any Zorastrians here?

    Hello friends, I was wondering if we have any resident Zorastrians around? I'd like to know where I can get an english copy of the Zend-Avesta. And this is the only place I can find with parts of the text online: http://www.avesta.org/yasna/yasna.htm Blessings, Father J

    Could someone explain Christian beliefs about Jsus?

    Hello rosie2220, As has been stated so far, most Christians believe Jesus is God via the dogma of the Trinity. But there are millions of Christians who have different beliefs on this matter, notably the Jehovah's Witness who accept Jesus as a Prophet but not God, and Mormons who accept...
