  • 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

    Why Was Jesus Baptized?

    To fulfill all righteousness. At first, John the baptist balked from baptizing Jesus. NKJV Mat 3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

    Can Traditional Denominations explain this?

    Mat 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. Mat 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. Mar 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe...

    Is the Earth Eternal? – Megiddo Church. Question: How do you harmonize Gen. 8:22, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” (implying that the earth is eternal) with 2 Pet. 3:10, “The earth also and the works...

    Much of what is said of Origen is now seen of dubious report. In Religion class back in college - it was said without dispute that Origen castrated himself. This is now disputed - as is saying that satan might be restored... ON FIRST PRINCIPLES - I like - whatever "pseudo-Origen" came along 200...

    Concerning Origen, I had always heard that he was anathematized because of beliefs that Satan and demons might some day be restored, forgiven... I have never heard about a "splinter group" writing in Origen's name. To me, maybe Origen was condemned by a church already corrupt - I never gave...

    Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Well the Bible says the hell-fire is "prepared for" - and many take that to mean created for.

    Christian Universalism. What's not to like?

    I don't like "the Human One" as a replacement for Son of Man. I got the Wesley Study Bible with the Common English Bible translation, and that phrase is the only thing I don't like about it. "Son of Man" is how Jesus referred to Himself - the Human One seems an attempt to be gender non-specific...

    Steve - I DON'T BELIEVE the verses that say the dead know nothing - I believe WHAT JESUS SAID in Luke 16 - Jesus trumps writer of Ecclesiastes and other verses that the SDA Soul Sleepers jump up and down on. If you want to hold Ecclesiastes higher then what Jesus says - join the Soul Sleepers of...

    The verses that say "the dead know nothing" are counter-manded by Samuel talking to King Saul - even prophesying his death - and beggar lazarus, rich man and Abraham conscious - living and knowing things in Luke 16. Paul contrasts being alive on earth with "being present with the Lord". Many...
