  • 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

    Is baptism necessary to be saved? (2)

    Matt 18:16...in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. Nothing wrong with looking for another witness outside of the Bible :) States the Mormon who uses other texts, and a witness from the Holy Spirit :) 1 Cor 12:3.... no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but...

    Yes, I agree, the entire Bible is not inspired... The Song of Solomon as an example, is not inspired... nice poetry, but not scripture.

    Abraham's Bosom

    Here is a cut-n-paste: PARADISE. See also Heaven That part of the spirit world in which the righteous spirits who have departed from this life await the resurrection of the body. It is a condition of happiness and peace. Paradise is also used in the scriptures to mean the world of spirits...

    Marriage and the public good

    There are many different types of love… eros, philia, agape…. The type of love between a man and a woman is very different than the love between two women, or two men. Do you agree that men and women tend to be different creatures? Men are from Mars Women from Venus... Do you see...

    Can I guess that you also have something very different than the relashonship I have with my husband? Sure it is a relashonship, but it does not seem like a marriage relashonship.

    Marriage and the public good

    The point is men and women joined together make a more complete whole than two women or two men joined together. You need something different from a spouse than from a friend... From link Studies have shown us and common sense tells us that those whom we typically feel more comfortable...

    Marriage and the public good

    This is what I mean when I say trying to make men into women and women into men. Trying to say women are as strong as men... men are as sensitive and emotional as women... It is just not true. Do you think there are no differences between men and women? That there are no predominantly male...

    Does a man has any right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body?

    I agree - and I would add that an innocent child's rights come before the right of the adult...

    Marriage and the public good

    They posted their opinion, I posted mine... Funny thing… some say I am not “diverse” because I have old fashioned views about marriage… I would say I celebrate diversity by not trying to make men into women, or women into men.

    Marriage and the public good

    Men and women are not the same. Men run faster, women can create life. Protector / nurturer… strong / wise … to say men and women are the same is naive… I still say that if I only surrounded myself with women, I would be missing out on half of the picture. I do not need to be...

    How important is a father figure really?

    My mom works in social services… in her opinion it does not make so much of a difference for boys, but It is a well known fact that girls who are raised without fathers have trouble. See end of page 16 and page 17 as an example&#8230...

    Marriage and the public good

    OK – here is the problem I have with homosexual relationships. The entire point of a relationship is that you can see the world through the eyes of another. That you can experience more than just your own little reality… If you only seek your own kind – those who like the...
