  • 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

    Non-Christians on the Worship Team

    Yeah, it is an ongoing thing (every sunday for both services). The actual leader is the one saying there are no spots available. I think they are trying to use the stage as an evangelistic tool by hiring and paying college students from the local college in hopes that they will "find christ"...

    Non-Christians on the Worship Team

    At my church, they pay a couple local guys from a college to come play on the worship team as they say it is an evangelistic tool. There are people that are christians that are part of the church that have approached them about playing and kind of in a nice way are told that no spots were...

    The forbidden fruit?

    Ummm... Juicy Fruit? I don't know you got me. I think the tree of life was a natural tree as well as the tree of knowledge of good and evil was a natural tree. At the time of creation (adam/eve) Jesus was the "Word" After his resurection he became the tree of life.(spiritually speaking)

    Catholics please help me understand something

    Tithing?

    Because nobody said that not tithing=not giving A couple months back for instance (around winter season) I gave about 6% to the church and spent about 8% buying coats and donating them to families that literally had no warm coats. I prayed that the warmth the coat provides would give the...

    Why does the bible divide?

    So why do we have Pastors and pay them more than 60% of the people in the congregation earn if scripture is for personal interpretation and people should find the personal revelation for their lives with the Holy Spirit? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't take what the pope says as final word...

    Why does the bible divide?

    Does a tree make a sound if it falls in the woods and nobody hears it? So with the bible. Does it make a sound if nobody reads it and speaks it? Why is it that when man does, they disagree so vehemently?

    Tithing?

    Good luck finding any. Study tithing out and see why it got implemented back into the catholic church. You will see it wasn't because of any biblical reasoning.

    Critique my bands songs

    Nevermind about this. It seems asking for music critiques/advice is against the sites policies.
