  • 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

    Yep. Ernest Angely has taken over Rex Humbard's old digs and still airs a TV program - wig and all.

    Yeah, I pretty much agree with his exemplar idea.

    Liberal VS Christian

    I think for the most part because they want to either go back to a simpler time when you could leave your doors unlocked and neighbors watched out for each other’s children. In some ways, the liberal changes over the past 30 or 40 years seem have shut the door on those times. But when you really...

    Correct way to worship?

    I think you are deliberately misusing the term "liberal."

    In what ways are you a liberal Christian ?

    A "liberal" Christian is generally a Christian less opposed to change. A liberal Christian is generally less inclined to think that tradition is important. A liberal Christian generally welcomes new information concerning everything from manuscript discoveries to the archaeology of the Holy...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    [/size][/font] ‘sokay! You’ve had some sort of epiphany and it’s very hard to hold that inside. I completely understand! It is perfectly understandable you’d want to tell people of your experience and the wonders that have happened since. That, if you ask me, is the whole point of faith...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    And there is only one of him. All of those who have come after him were completely human, completely fallible and just as likely to give his or her own interpretation and preach his or her own personal message as you and I are; maybe more so because there was no democracy and virtually no...

    Bible belief and faith

    artybloke, I'm already there. When I used to post in the Christian History folders on AOL, the section was overseen by Christianity Online, a subsidiary of Billy Graham's Christianity Today organization. Myself and four or five others spent time refuting the exclusive message of the...

    Bible belief and faith

    Would you mind if I asked what was the catalyst for bring you to where you are now? It seems like a long journey to me.

    Bible belief and faith

    [/size][/font] Right. That was what I meant by harmonizing, rationalizing and ignoring inconvenient passages. Yeah and the real bible is really the re-inspired KJV that fell from the sky onto England soil in 1611. :sorry: It has never been amended, adjusted or revised...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    [/size][/font] So, that’s it? That’s your support? The book of Acts, which is part of the Bible and clearly not a history text, says that’s how it happened in the narrative. The Bible is correct because a narrative in the Bible says so. That is circular, as I have already pointed out...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    [/font][/size][/font][/color] You have not shown in any way other than by assertion that Acts is historically reliable on this point or any other. Why are you so anxious to change the subject? Don’t you have any supporting evidence? You have also not demonstrated that the term “church” is...

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    And you have not supported your original assertion yet.

    Is there such a thing as a Christian homosexual?

    There is no mention of the word "church" or the Greek word ecclasia in the Greek text. So, it would be completely improper to translate it as being there when it is not. Not incorrect. No ekklasia. No ecclesia either. Not in the critical text, which is the text that NT scholarship stands behind...
