  • 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 the Bible/Christianity?

    There are hundreds of religions in the world. Many claim super-natural experiences and events. My question is, why should I beleive that the Bible is the word of God and not all the other holy books. Why Christianity? Why is it the only true religion?

    God's Word and Modern Science

    The word 'universe' is not there. I doubt they'd have a perception of the vastness of space at that time. However, in creation week the stars were made also. So God, by the Genesis account, created the Earth and Stars, and Sun. That sounds like a description of what people would call the...

    Liberal vs. Conservative

    Thank you for your reply. However it did not address my question. Of course all true Christians are filled with the same Holy Spirit. But i'll be hard-pressed to believe there isn't an extreme division within Christianity, to the point where un-Christ-like things occur, which certainly isn't the...

    God's Word and Modern Science

    I don't think Genesis is describing at all how the universe works. It's describing how the universe got here. I interpret the Bible as I think it was intentioned to be interpreted. Obviously the parables or the beast coming out of the sea in Revelation meant to be literally interpreted. The...

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    No I haven't but I have read many books (both pro-Creation and pro-Evolution/Big Bang). In fact I just recently found a website called Answersingenesis which has a lot of information on the subject. I realize that the evidence does support, or at least doesn't disprove Genesis. But thanks...

    God's Word and Modern Science

    Ok, well I am moving our little discussion about science and the Bible over here. We were discussing the big bang...and the Bible's validity as a source of scientific information. In reply to your last post, where does the Bible say the world is flat?

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    Right right, yeah sorry. I just love science....as it is God's wonderful masterpiece.

    Liberal vs. Conservative

    Agreed. But do these saints all agree on doctrinal issues? In heaven will there be cons. and libs. still fighting over whats acceptable to do on the Sabbath? OK. Right. I think ecumenism is wrong. However, but I'm not talking about religion at-large, i'm talking about the division within...

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    That's because the answer to mans' infirmities is not in science. It's in Christ. This is the same reason Christ did not overthrow the Romans and free Israel from their opression. Though the Bible isn't a Physics textbook, it does tell how God works. If God says He created the earth, then He...

    Adding to the Word?

    How can we believe everything Paul or John said? They too were imperfect sinners. My point being, though I don't think EGW was infallible, i think her writings were inspired by God. But how do we know which are inspired and which are just her personal suggestions, advice, and admonitions...

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it...

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    Any science concerning the past is speculative and subjective because you cannot find empirical evidence for something in the past because all you have is the present. The scientists who developed the big bang theory are surely atheists and with their pre-suppositions of atheism had to design a...

    Dr. Kellogg's 'cure' for masturbation

    The big bang theory a good theory? It completely undermines the book of Genesis. How is the universe forming and expanding from a singularity consistent with the Bible? Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."

    Liberal vs. Conservative

    I'm just wondering what should be done (if anything) about the division amongst Adventists (and throughout all Christianity) with conservatism and liberalism. Do you think God intended that we all separate into our own factions with our own beliefs or should we all be one...? I for one...

    Bible Versions/Translations...Question!

    Hi, I've been an Adventist my entire life, and have always used the King James Version. I have no problem with the King James and will probably continue to use it for a long time to come. However, I'm not gonna lie, the language, especially in the Old Testament gets a bit grueling to understand...
