  • 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.

    How many times did you almost die?

    Hello. Three times come to mind, but there were others. 1. I was on a golf course walking and golfing and talking to a friend. We turned a corner a bit to the right. About 10 seconds after we turned the corner, a huge (I mean HUGE) dead tree on the edge of the fairway fell into the fairway from...

    I want to change my Muslim name

    I can understand that you are considerate of your parent’s feelings. A name is a label that we connect our identity with, however. The name/names you were given are not associated in your mind with a Christ-follower. Of course, the New Testament especially sites Greek names of outstanding...

    Basis of salvation, not Jesus, the bible.

    I didn’t realize both doctrines/examples were in the Bible. That’s interesting. You know, I get your point on the importance of the Holy Spirit leading us into all truth, and being a Pentecostal I aught to. I also think it’s equally possible that it was purposely left ambiguous because the...

    Basis of salvation, not Jesus, the bible.

    Hello Michael, This question reminds me of a newcomer to this forum (newer than me, lol) who introduced himself by stating that he was basicly here to help deliver people from an insidious wrong doctrine. He explained about how countless scores of people have been misled about their salvation...

    What should your middle name have been?

    Don’t we all feel that way sometimes? I guess the Apostle Paul would disagree with you. I take comfort in seeing the people God is willing forgive and make new, such as Paul, formerly named Saul.

    This attraction people have to others with the same physical characteristics is a bit entertaining to see. Two of my son’s friends have red hair. Both sets of parents are friends of mine. All four parents are red haired. You see it a lot, if you’re paying attention. I was at a restaurant today...

    Hello LaBella, My beauty standard for all people first of all is that their clothing and body are clean. I don’t really want to smell them while just approaching them. I almost don’t care what you do with your hair. Guys with long hair don’t weird me out; neither do girls with short hair. I...

    FIFA Women's World Cup: US Women's Soccer Team Wins World Cup

    I saw an interview of hers this morning, and she listed one of the reasons she was not accepting the WH visit was one of his postures of “exclusion”. Did President Trump list categories of individuals who may be on the team that should consider themselves excluded from his invitation?

    wearing shoes in church

    In the Old Testament we had certain champions of the faith ordered to remove their shoes, because of being on holy ground. Apparently the feet were cleaner than the shoes, the shoes bearing the dirt of the world. In Jesus time, he had the disciples remove their footwear so He could wash their...

    Trump's war on bibles

    Sure tariffs perhaps, but I agree that a higher cost for the written Bible won’t matter much. They were expensive already. My guess is that electronic versions of the Bible will and probably already far outnumber printed versions anyway, as far as what people actually read and study.

    Please pray for me

    I’ll say this before someone else does. You’re not good enough for the Lord, neither am I, neither is anyone. He opens His arms of love to us anyway! Jesus’ finished work on the cross is enough for God to accept us. He’s not drumming His fingers in disgust, waiting for you or me to shape up...

    Why are most Christians so accepting of magic

    I know what you’re saying Tryphena Rose, it seems that the theme of magic in television and movies is more widespread. I still remember the old sitcom “Bewitched”, produced in the 1960’s. It’s been around for quite awhile, it just seems to be a bit more prevalent and sinister than even 10 years...

    Explain this

    My take on the “generation” thing is that mankind post-flood is one generation, pre-flood is another generation. (Somewhere in here the word “antidiluvian” goes, but I’m not sure where). On the other hand, if Jesus the man, prior to his assension into heaven did not know the day or hour, then...
