  • 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

    church

    The Seventh-day Adventist church service is what I would call a traditional service. Quiet, reverent, minimal instruments (piano, organ) for hymns. We have the same reverent service you find at other reverent Protestant churches. In the morning we have what other churches would call Sunday...

    The Sabbath, Worship and the End Time

    Thank you for the kind response. I'll expand on my OP here and try to clarify concerning the seal and the mark. The Mark of the Beast and the Seal of God The Receiving Revelation 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right...

    What kinds of things do you do on the computer?

    This. I've gone through my things many times over through the years and given it to Goodwill. Each time I get rid of more clutter that I've accumulated over my lifetime. I still have more to get rid of. I have three full closets, camping gear and miscellaneous stuff I don't use on a daily...

    RE-Linux

    Back in the day I loved DOS. I was using QEMM and Quarterdeck's DESQview to run a BBS. I remember being very reluctant to switch to Windows 95 at the time. DOS just worked. I did eventually switch to Windows 95. After having lived through decades of using Windows, I can honestly say that...

    re-VPNs

    At work I used a VPN to access the company network from anywhere. This was necessary for e-mail and all of the various websites and apps I used on a daily basis to do my job. At home I have no need for a VPN. I would be using one if I had a need for it. If I want to access my home computer...

    Would God approve people living on other planets?

    Evidence that we will never colonize another planet. Creation. God created the earth specifically for man. God created man to live on the earth. Sin. As was pointed out in a previous post, Satan and the fallen angels are bound to this earth. So are we. Have you noticed the hostile...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    1. Look at Psalm 95:10, the previous verse, in context. Psalm 95:10-11 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. What rest is...

    What should we preach in these last days?

    I find plenty of inspiration from reading the church pioneer writings (and SOP). Bible Readings for the Home is a good book to look at. I also have a (non-SDA) book written in 1846 (my version is 1913) called Five Hundred Sketches and Skeletons of Sermons. Old Christian books from the 1800's...

    Does Open Carry Cause Problems?

    I had a concealed carry permit for ten years, until Ohio opened up concealed carry without the need for a permit. A permit does still give you perks, but I have no desire to conceal carry anymore. I think the problem with open carry, at least where everyday people are concerned (non-criminals)...
