  • 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

    What do you think the following Scripture verses meant to these Jewish/Hebrew Christians? Hebrews 4:6, 11 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,......11 Let us...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    It seems to me that Jesus literally meant what he said. They believed/were in Christ for a while, but when tested by temptation, they did not endure in the faith. Luke 8:13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    So, a person can be saved, be in Christ/believe for a while, and then fall away and not inherit eternal life?

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    Thank you. Paul tells the Christians that they need to examine themselves to see whether they are currently in the faith. Romans 16:10 2 Corinthians 13:4-5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course...

    I agree that obedience is not the cause of salvation. However, disobedience and unrepentance are the cause of the loss of salvation.

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    Hello Hentenza, What do you think "for those in Christ" means? I'd like to read your opinion to see if it matches mine. :)

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    The answer is no! What is Jesus talking about. Go back to Matthew 24:1-2 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on...

    Grace Has a Name

    How is a person first saved? Mark 16:15-16 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. How does a person continue to be saved? One example: 1 Timothy...

    The meaning of (Acts 5 :1) Ananias, with Sapphira

    The Scripture Passage: But a man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property, 2 and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the...

    Who did Jesus approve for eternal in Matthew 25:31-46? Jesus approved for eternal life only the doers of his word and not the hearers only. James 1:22 He approved for eternal life the people who imitated/followed him in doing good works to help other people. John 10:26-28, Luke 9:23, 1...

    Men listening to women teach the Bible!

    It doesn't. It shows the tradition of what the apostles did on Sunday, the first day of the week. Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2 They called Sunday the Lord's Day. Revelation 1:10 This tradition, originally commanded by Jesus Christ before he ascended into heaven, was taught by the apostles to...

    Men listening to women teach the Bible!

    No, a worship service may be held any and every day of the week, but the main one is to be on Sunday. Sunday is the designated day for worship and rest for all Christians. If a person follows the Jew's example of when a day begins, a Saturday evening service would be counted as a Sunday...

    Why do we do things not written in the Bible?

    God pointedly changes the names of the men he chooses to be the preeminent spiritual leaders of his people. Abram to Abraham Genesis 17:5 Jacob to Israel Genesis 32:28 Simon to Cephas/Peter Matthew 16:17-19 "Roman Catholic" is not legally correct. The official name is "Catholic Church."...

    Acts, the Mikveh & the Blood: How the Bible Defines Remission

    Actually, the post-biblical writers learned the faith from the faithful men who taught them. Those faithful men learned it from the faithful men who learned it from the faithful men who came before them, all the way back to the apostles who were taught by Jesus Christ. Until the printing press...
