  • 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.

    Eternal Hell

    You would think that God...being God and all... could come up with a better plan than to create an eternal torture chamber where 90 percent of the creation he "so loves" will end up. His mercy endures "forever" and his compassions "fail not". Would that not include Christianity's fabled...

    heaven/ New Jerusalem

    Wow! A 3 1/2 year feast! I hope it's steak. Seriously. Have you considered the words that come off your keyboard? We are going to be feasting for three and a half years? LONG TIME. That;s all I can say. Especially while God's wrath is poured out on earth. (tongue in cheek) Can anybody...

    Your Favorite Authors...

    Clive Barker and Dean Koontz...they both scare the Hell out of me. Just kidding. I like Robert Heinlein...up to about half way into his books and then he gets all crazy. Michael Creighton. Jim Rutz is funny (MegaShift...The Meaning of Life) and serious. Lemony Snicket.

    How about homechurch folks:

    I belong to a study group that reads the Old Testament and trys to 'spiritualize' or 'allegorize' scripture. It's a lot of "well this is what the scripture means to me" and "for me it means this" and of course (to them) they are both right in their own eyes. And I, as I listen to them just...

    Question about Heaven and Hell

    First of all start off by studying the Bible in light of what you already believe. Predetermined belief from a seminary or favorite denomination or teacher will greatly help your confusion. There are a thousand denominations and seminaries all teaching differing interpretations of various...

    Question about Heaven and Hell

    Your quite welcome! I know what it is like to be a "Born Again" "Christian" who does not believe in the false doctrine of Hell. ( I put born again and christian in quotes because we have been labeled with these words that are hardly mentioned in the Bible. I prefer "believer" to both of these...

    Question about Heaven and Hell

    This certainly "implies" that you do not understand the scriptures nor the heart of God. Endless torture is the devils idea, not God's. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. So then if you don't believe in him, you must fry in unspeakable pain for trillions of neverending...

    Is it a sin to listen?

    I wanted to post a reply to this in the Christian only section. (I am a Christian but my icon is church/other because so many Christians give Christians a bad name.) Here is the post: Is it OK to listen to non-Christians? Is it OK to shop at non-Christian stores and deal with...
