  • 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

    For What We Have Done

    How do I know if I'm obedient enough? I believe in the perfect life, death and resurrection of Christ as the atonement for all my sins, but I've been struggling enormously with OCD over the last year reaching the point that I started having panic attacks about if I was actually saved or not. I...

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    Also if the Bible is full of flaws then how can you trust that Jesus really did all those miracles and rose from the dead?

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    It is not my opinion that the Bible is divinely inspired. It just is because God says so.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    Moses wrote the Pentateuch because Jesus (God) said so in John 5:46-47. Moses could have had someone who wrote it down for him but it's still his writings.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    From Gotquestions.org ''1. The Bible itself claims to be perfect. “And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times” (Psalm 12:6). “The law of the Lord is perfect” (Psalm 19:7). “Every word of God is pure” (Proverbs 30:5 KJV). These claims...

    >Jesus refers to the commandments given by Moses in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy >Moses isn't the author of the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) Choose one.

    How can I know if the message of the Bible is true if it's full of flaws? If that is so then I can also not trust the Gospels.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    You're stating things that having nothing to do with God's inerrant word. Did you know that Satan is the god (little g) of this world according to 2 Corinthians 4:4? Satan is the major influence on the ideals, opinions, goals, hopes and views of the majority of people. His influence also...

    Titus 3:5

    I have a very lovely family who I can talk too. And I also try to trust in the fact that God will save me despite my doubts.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    Why did sin happen? If Genesis 3 is wrong and sin came in by evolutionary causes then the fall of Man is entirely God's fault since he caused something to happen we couldn't even prevent (Because God guides evolution according to you).

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    Why do you believe that God (Jesus) gave us a false book full of flaws? The first promise of the redemption on the cross was made by God in Genesis 3:15. If Genesis is false then how is someone to believe that the cross was necessary for something that didn't even happen.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    You know that the entire Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-17), right? People didn't just thought this up. The Bible is entirely inspired by God, men only wrote it down. This includes the entirety of the OT. Again, if Genesis is wrong then God is flawed and a liar.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    Okay, so God is a liar and the Bible is not to be trusted. This would mean that Jesus is also a liar because he quoted the creation of man in Matthew 19:4.

    Theistic Evolution makes Judgment and Sin feel distant and less real

    God literally formed Adam out of dust, not out of a monkey. Genesis 2:7 ''And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.'' If God created us out of monkeys it would say ''And the Lord God formed man out of...
