  • 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.

    Presbyterian Church (USA) in the News

    How about "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). In the Bible sodomy is a synonym for homosexuality. God spoke plainly on the matter when He said, "There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel"...

    can i smoke salvia?

    I strongly agree with what suzybeezy posted, I think she nailed it on the spot. I did salvia a few years ago before God got myself together, that stuff is WAY more crazy than alcohol and half the other illegal drugs out there. You just freak out for five minutes and act like a fool. Pass.

    Where did God come from?

    Here are my thoughts on this matter. God created everything. He created the universe and the rules of the universe. He created space, light, earth, and time. I think most Christians would agree with this statement as most of it I believe is backed up in the Bible. As a human being it’s...
