  • 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

    Huckabee

    Personally, I'll be voting for Ron Paul. Come November, I don't know what I'll do. I think he's the only one I could conscientiously vote for. I'm still reeling that McCain will probably get the Republican nod. You couldn't have convinced me he'd be the front runner a few months ago....

    I'm on board with this guy

    I can handle that! I have to say, what he believes is VERY close to what I've come to believe, with the exception that I'm still calling myself a 'tentative' historic pre-mil. I have no issues with amils though, I just haven't wrapped my mind around eschatology enough to claim anything...

    Been a LONG time!

    Hey all! It's been forever since I've been here. I saw when I logged in that my last visit was the middle of August! Wow, didn't realize it had been THAT long! Glad to see some familiar faces around here, and looking forward to maybe meeting some new ones. I've peeked into a few...

    Word of Faith

    I've never been involved in WOF, but I found it interesting that a while back, my pastor actually took one Sunday during a series to speak about false prophets and named 3 false prophets in the church today(by name, no less! with pictures and examples of why they were false prophets :)~ ) and...

    Arminianism

    Did you realize that James Arminius was a student of Calvin's, and after reading many of Calvin's writings on election and predestination he came up with a 5 point rebuttal to what Calvin taught? The scholars then came up with TULIP to disprove Arminius's 5 points, and THAT is how TULIP (or...

    Calvinism!

    definitely not "originated" by Calvin. Calvin wrote quite a bit about election and predestination, but it wasn't until a long while after his death that the term "calvinism" became popular. and it's not a 'theory that individuals are predestined to be in or out of the church without any...

    a question...Reformed churches

    Excellent points Woody...perhaps I shouldn't be so assuming.... I agree totally with everything you said. However, I must point out that I've never seen a website by a confirmed calvinistic church that sidestepped the issue in the way this churche's site does. Doesn't make them arminian...

    a question...Reformed churches

    No, it's not a Calvinist church. I underlined the phrases that prove it. However, they don't seem to be fully arminian either--more than likely, they are sitting the fence, so to speak....

    Display of "cross" symbol

    I"m not a big fan of crosses and symbols myself. I do have a wooden cross on the wall of my living room that my dad made; I think I have it more as a reminder of my dad and his love of woodworking than anything else! Used properly, I think the display of the cross can be full of meaning...
