  • 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

    Original Sin ??

    IN THE BEGINNING/IN THE GARDEN What was the first historically recorded choice of our first parents? We read of Mother Eve that: "…she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat…" (Gen. 3:6). But was this the first choice and the first sin attributed to our Mother Eve? No, it wasn’t the...

    Why do we inherit sin?

    The doctrine taught is that Adam and Eve were PERFECT (after all, could God create something that was NOT perfect? Were they not created in God's OWN IMAGE)? Well, they were "perfect" in the same way that Satan (a liar and a murderer from the very beginning) was perfect -- PERFECT FOR THE...

    Christ set us free?

    "If the Son therefore shall MAKE you free, ye shall be free indeed." This verse has nothing to do with free will. But it certainly does have to do with freedom. But freedom from what? From what is it that Jesus frees us? Why free from what we were in bondage to before He freed us, of course...

    Questions about Pre-Determination and Free-Will

    THE ILLUSION OF FREE WILL Here it is, the magical source of man’s imagined deity. It is, of course, "HUMAN FREE WILL." Or, as in the case with Satan, "SATANIC FREE WILL." And just what is human and satanic free will? It is a fictitious power that Satan and all humans image they have, which...

    Why is god evil ?

    GOD IS NOT EVIL It is paramount that we clearly understand one thing in God's creation and use of evil, lest my detractors accuse me of saying that, God is evil. James 1:13 say, "Let no one, undergoing trial be saying that 'From God am I undergoing trial,' for God is not tried by evils, yet He...

    Is the Bible infallible?

    God's WORD is INERRANT! Men's BIBLES are filled with ERROR! I was at a large Bible Book Store yesterday. There are HUNDREDS of translations. Why is that? Are the ALL INERRANT? If they were, then they would all be translated with the SAME WORDS! Even the revered King James Version is not a pure...

    ALL Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. ( 2 Timothy 3:16

    Adam & Eve: Original Entrapment

    The doctrine taught is that Adam and Eve were PERFECT (after all, could God create something that was NOT perfect? Were they not created in God's OWN IMAGE)? Well, they were "perfect" in the same way that Satan (a liar and a murderer from the very beginning) was perfect -- PERFECT FOR THE...

    Why is god evil ?

    Far too many theologians misrepresent the Word of God, and therefore pervert it to suit their unscriptural biases. I have heard of theologians who graduated from seminary and still did not know that God says in Isaiah 45:7: "I ... create EVIL." And most who have read it, don't believe it...
