  • 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

    Church sharing in history

    Monasteries and convents are a good example of communal living. As a previous post pointed out forced giving (socialism) doesn't work well so Christians have the freedom to live like that or not. Unfortunately most of us choose not to live like that. Although I don't choose to live like that...

    Who

    I was in a rush when I posted but I had wanted to comment that selling it as single adventures instead of seasons seems like a rip off. I think part of the problem is there are episodes missing from older seasons but I don't think that's the main reason. The main reason for not selling it by...

    Who

    They have many Doctor Who stories on dvds from 1963 to 1989 and in July they will have the entire 2005 season on a set of dvds.

    Any Fans of The Shield out there?

    I didn't like the finale but I predicted how it would end half way through. Considering what happened in the first episode of the series and then in season three Shane killed a member of the team it doesn't surprise me that Shane would murder Lem. What I can't wait to see is how long it...

    Black. White.

    I like this show which is surprising because I don't watch many "reality" shows. I have to agree though that the make up jobs of the Black family aren't believable and Rose's is the most believable make up job. I knew even before the series first aired that the white father was out of touch...

    Great Raid

    I saw an ad for this movie on July 4th but until yesterday nothing else. Now they're advertising it more and I hope it's a good movie because the subject is great. I learned about the Alamo Scouts a few years ago and at the same time learned this exciting story. Alamo Scouts were special...

    Why did america have the war of independence?

    Taxation was not a major reason for the American Revolution. It was the main source of dispute, although not the only one, in the 1760's but it didn't cause revolution and by the time fighting broke out in the 1770's it was no longer the main issue. The main problem was civil liberties. They...

    Question regarding E.M. Bounds

    Another good book is the Handbook on Spiritual Warfare by Ed Murphy. I'm not familiar with Murphy and I read all of Strategy of Satan where as the misnamed Handbook is an enormous book that I've read very little of but what I've read from it is good. I seriously doubt many people have read all...

    Prequel or Sequel Favorites

    Scary Movie. The first one was awful but the second was slightly better and the third was slightly better than the second. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was boring and the Return of the Killer Tomatoes was really funny but on the other hand the first movie was family friendly and the sequel...

    Question regarding E.M. Bounds

    I've heard of Bounds but I've never read his books. Is the book any good? I personally recommend Strategy of Satan by Warren Wiersbe. I think it's an example of hyperbole and describing how powerful the enemy is he exaggerated. Bounds was human and all of us humans make mistakes.

    Scifi Friday (Stargate sg1, stargate atlantis, Battlestar Galactica).

    I tape it (all three shows) for my for my dad who doesn't have cable. I liked SG-1 a few years ago but I quickly became bored with it. I watch every once and a while but it isn't a show I'm interested in seeing every week. I like Battlestar Galatica particularly since it tells a really...
