  • 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

    Do Chimpanzees and Humans have a Common Ancestor

    I've always wondered... in Macro, when a new species emerges, how does it reproduce? If you have a small group of a new species, and a larger group of the old species, would it not be logical that the new species would die out simply from lack of similar beings to mate with? Maybe I'm confused...

    Men Vs. Women

    I don't think that women were treated inferior. I think that men are encouraged to treat women with respect, and likewise, women are expected ro respect men in their leadership. God gave each, both men and women, a role. And, the verses in the Bible limiting these are only ways of encouraging...

    Speech

    Ya, I know I say a lot of careless things. I do try to watch my words carefully and to say things that are meaningful, but I know I don't do well at this. James 3 also warns us about our words. James 3:10 says that we shouldn't ever curse men with the same mouth that we praise our God with. How...

    Does God need people to heresy hunt?

    Hm.. no, no I don't think so. That's the same thing as saying "it's true for you, but not for me." I simply don't think the Bible teaches relative truths. There is no way that someone completely contradicting scripture could not be heresy.

    Does God need people to heresy hunt?

    1 Timothy 6: 3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing... 11But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and...

    Now this is interesting. What do you think?

    a_ntv has a point, and I think I agree. But, I personally don't see how he could be tried for murder even by today's standards. He was, it seems, sanctioned by the state to do these things, and if the state gives permission he could not be tried by the state. It would be self defeating. But...

    Hebrew Scholars, I Need Your Help...

    I think I agree with YeshuamySalvation. In the hands or between the hands is not that great of a difference. Most scholars believe Jesus was not pierced in the palm, this would have broken bones. And, we know from the Gospel repeating prophecy and OT scripture that none of his bones were broken...

    Documentary Portrays Islamic Extremists' Call to Arms Against the Free World

    What is so ironic about this, is that Muslims claim to be a religion, that under normal conditions, is peaceful and loving. They even borrow a good portion of the concepts in the Koran from the Bible itself. It reads like a Bible. It makes Allah sound just and righteous. But, the difference...

    Out of curiosity... what things did Swift's writings change that he did not agree with?

    Could a global flood have produced this terrain?

    I think you hit it head on! If that were a picture of the earth's terrain, the question and it's poll are invalid because it's been just too long of a time since a global flood. There has been enough time for other factors to have changed the terrain. So, what is the point of posting a picture...

    Will It Save?

    No, I do not believe prayers for the dead will have an affect on their salvation. I will use an example. In 2 Samuel 12, David's son is dying. David prays, and weeps, and begs God through prayers and fasting to save his son. But, when his son dies, he stops these things. The servants are...

    Why I think divorce is rampant

    I'd like to maybe bring a different perspective. Divorce is definately easier and more acceptable. And, statistics show that more than half of marriages end in divorce. Wait? Do they? It's hard to say. We collect our statistics oddly. We take all the people married in a given year, lets say...
