  • 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

    How Abrahamic Circumcision points to Salvation

    During Abraham's time, circumcision was performed by knives made of rocks as they did not have steel yet. After a male was circumcised, this left him in extreme pain and he was very sensitive to all his surroundings for a month. Even a small change in temperature would bring pain to the male...

    Jn 11 35 : Please : What is the reason for Jesus to weep ?

    When God created the world and us in it, it was a perfect design, without sin, without death. God did not create us to die, it was never His intention. But we chose to disobey knowing we would die. I think Jesus was weeping over that fact that people die, which was never meant to be

    Discussion Born again by prayer and or the laying on of hands?

    Sinners prayer saves no one. Salvation is the pure act of God, we do nothing. For we are spiritually dead, enemies of God, enslaved to sin, unable to save ourself. We have a dept to God none of us is able to pay. God is jugde and God is love. And because God is love, He must punish all evil...

    Slaves to sin or slaves to Christ

    I believe the answer lies in Romans 7 13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law...

    Trump moves forward with Peace in Gaza -

    The antichrist will also bring a peace, but it will be a false peace (and no, Trump is not the antichrist). Trump does not care about peace, he only cares about himself.

    When Trump beat Harris, I was happy. I thought he was the less evil choice. Since then Trump is proving me wrong

    Do people feel bad for following the Gouverment?

    I know there is a lot of sin in this current administration, and I have a lot of bad to say about Trump I'd rather not say because it can break the rules, but you get the idea. Nevertheless we ought to pray for them for God have mercy on them and to give them wisdom to know who gave them...

    Do people feel bad for following the Gouverment?

    Scripture teaches you that it is God who chooses who has power and authority over us. It is our responsibility to pray for and obey those who are in government, as long as it is not sin.

    Slaves to sin or slaves to Christ

    Romans 6:6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him...

    Discouraged about waiting until marriage

    First of all, if you are a born again, Christ washed Christian, you had no right to be with that girl. I am very sorry you are hurt, but you dodged a bullet with that girl. I know she converted, but someone born of the Spirit does not behave like her. It hurts now, but is this better than...
