  • 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

    Interesting form of legalism that many are not aware of

    All of these things come from God- faith, hope and love. The greatest of these is love.

    Interesting form of legalism that many are not aware of

    In everything, God's will is done. If someone is healed, it is God's will. If someone is not healed, it is God's will. Am I wrong about that? If someone is prayed over, laid hands on, or claimed themselves well- is it not God's will whether or not the healing is granted? How can the one who...

    Why are you on these forums? Why do you go to Church?.

    Thanks for the welcome, Newlamb. Qidron - it's nothing that has just happened, rather it's just what everyone here has talked about- the heated disagreements. What I was trying to say is that I came here at a time when I was needing to see that people aren't ALL bad. I didn't have an...

    Why are you on these forums? Why do you go to Church?.

    Why am I here? I originally came here looking for support. But I found that this place is no different from the rest of the world. Then I wandered into this section, and it was affirmed, this place is no different from the rest of the world. I can not comprehend how some who claim to be...

    Interesting form of legalism that many are not aware of

    I think a little fear can go a long way in that it makes me ask myself is this my agenda, or God's? I have an honest question, not being a smarty. How about all those people, in the times before our time, before the proof of spiritual gifts were a required showing of faith? I find it hard to...

    Interesting form of legalism that many are not aware of

    I admit I didn't go through and read every single post in this thread.....forgive me if I bring a point already spoken. I never really understood that "by His stripes we are healed" to be a promise for physical healing. I always took it as being a healing from the spiritual sickness...

    James the jerk

    I truly do not understand how someone could such careless things. The very weight of the wrong in your words suffocates me. I have a very vivid imagination, and in it I see you and God (robes and all) siiting down at a computer on the Day of Judgement and He says to you, "Come here, I want to...

    James the jerk

    I don't think we're saved by works alone, but we continually serve God through our works, and in serving we recieve His continued grace. How can you not continue to serve Him if you have truly dedicated your life to Him? Do you think you are worthy of His grace if you do not serve Him? You...

    Why Christianity Fails

    I agree with that correction - it's not Christianity but those who lay claim to being Christian. Matthew 7:13,14 Enter ye at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction. and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow...

    How do you know which church is truly the church of Jesus Christ?

    Like Tinkerbell I don't have any scripture to back up what I say, but I know what's in my heart. God searches people's hearts - he doesn't peek in the door on Sunday morning to see who's where. He knows who comes before Him in Spirit and in Truth and He knows those who don't - even when we...

    questions on speaking in tongue!

    Oi Boy I don't claim to know a lot. Only what is in my heart. I have been to churches where people speak in tongues and it seemed evil to me. The sounds of the mumbles and squeels and shrieks and monotone chants sounded to me like a herd of demons. I have also heard groups praying out...

    Are we saved by holding correct theological opinions?

    I think your question holds your answer. Our opinions don't matter. More and more today I see the Bible being picked apart by the legalistic leagues= unfortunately, much like our Constitution has in the U.S. We see where that has gone. Any time you take one small part and interpret it...
