  • 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.

    Bible verses

    Do you think we need them? Originally bible verses were not in Scriptures, and I find that they actually hinder people. I'd like to get some opinions on this. I got a Bible also from The Bible Without Verses and Chapters which is a Bible with no chapters or verses. I read some this morning...

    Luke 9:23 "take up cross daily" is probably wrong....

    I want some feedback on this. In Luke 9:23 it says: And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. But Mark 8:34 says: Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "Whoever wants to...

    He who drinks of the water I give Him will never thirst again

    Remember the Word is a person. It's not words on a page. The Word became flesh. The Word came out of God the Father. The Word made everything (for God spoke and it was so). Everything points to the Word being a person, and that is Christ. Your efforts to do X Y and Z to not thirst, such...

    House churches in midwest and west

    I put up a house church directory to help connect others with each other. It's odd but all the house churches are mainly on the east coast. Weird phenomenon. It makes my map look lopsided. If you have a house church in the midwest or west, do me a favor and add it so others can find you...

    What caused you to leave your church?

    I can tell you why I left. I can also tell you why the Lord had me leave. They are 2 different things. 1. Why I Left: I went to Bible college, served as a youth minister, worked in church multimedia both staff and volunteer. Over time I noticed the big machine of church could not...

    If you don't have a church...

    I'm only saying that God's vision for His church is no where near what we find across America ever Sunday morning. I'm not saying one system, or method of "doing church" is better than another. I'm saying that because any system of "doing church" exists, it's not the the church He so desires...

    Bible Without Verse Numbers and Chronological - Unlocks New Testament?

    I've been on this kick of reading the New Testament in chronological order, and without verses or chapters. When you do so, the story of the early church comes out. The main thing you see is that Paul planted a church, and left them on their own. You also see that their faith was no based on...

    Which Branch of Christianity is Closest to Original Early Church?

    No church is like the NT that you would find without a microscope.. It's cause we have misinterpreted the general story of the NT. Pick up a book called, Revolution: The story of the early church.

    If you don't have a church...

    I respect you Christy, but sadly church as become a factory for teachings. Whether it's Bible study, or sermons. It's all passing of knowledge to the believer. Yet in the New Testament church was alive, a community, a family. They did not sit and listen to a sermon each week by one man...

    What is Wrong with going to Church?

    Yes, agree with BTW, we cna't go somewhere, the church is a person. Just like Even came from Adam, she was part of Adam. We, the church came from Christ. The church is not a building, or denomination, or system. Christ didn't die for those things, but to destroy them. He died for His bride.

    Psalm 55:22

    The key is romans, There is no one righteous not even one... Romans 3:10 Who is righteous? It's Christ alone. And we are IN Christ, is we're His. Only the Son is pleasing to the Father, and we have been put into Him, part of His body, His bride the church.
