  • 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

    Again this is view seems too easy. Normally there is no clear judgement that follows immedialtely like in this account. There are millions of bad people who can do their work unhindered. If God would punish sin so directly after Jesus, there would be no free. And again: there would be no...

    Why did Ananias and Sapphira had to die?

    on the other hand there are many bad people who can do their work unhindered. If God would punish sin so directly after Jesus, there would be no free will like today. And there would be no question of theodicy

    Why did Ananias and Sapphira had to die?

    This is an interesting point! So it was neither the punishment of god nor the force of the enemy but Peters power. You could interpret it the way that the apostles were only humans and did not use the gift always in the way Jesus intended. So the passage could a warning to everyone not to abuse...

    Why did Ananias and Sapphira had to die?

    In the New Testament, isn't God merciful and grants a new beginning? They were both baptized Christians. But the direct death seems like a punishment of God from the Old Testament...Or was it not God's punishment but the work of the devil alone, as Peter implies?
