  • 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

    Abortion question?

    Abortion = murder However in cases like this where prolonging the abortion will kill both the child and the mother it becomes alot more serious. No Abortion = 2 likely deaths and quite possibly medical malpractice due to the doctors oath to preserve life. Abortion = 1 guaranteed death and...

    Does it say anywhere in the bible that there is a partner made for you?

    I know as part of one of our gathering prayers we pray to the effect - "those of a married state, and those who live as single persons in this world, the special graces their lives require" So I would say no. Doesn't mean that there isn't somebody for you, but there is probably no scripture...

    For those who explored RC and EO, what made you choose RC?

    I love studying the Apostolic Churches so I looked into the EO and the RC, Even had a minor glance at the coptic. However 2 big factors played into RC favour. I was born into a Catholic Family and can't see myself walking away from all the sacraments. There are 2 RC churches in my city, and...

    Remembrance Day

    Here in my small city in Canada i was surprised to see how many came out to the cenotaph in the -25'C weather. It was good to see all the support the community gives, and are willing to endure a bit of cold to pay their respects.

    Why must the alternative to heaven be hell?

    God knows and accepts we can't be perfect. however he expects us to try our best to be perfect, and to keep trying each time we fail. He gave us Free Will but it doesn't mean there is a goal he wants each of us to get to within our lives.

    Why must the alternative to heaven be hell?

    I believe a common message that both religious and non-religious people will agree to is - it does not matter if you fall down once, twice, or ten times, what matters is after the tenth fall you stand back up for the eleventh time. We know and God knows that we as human are bound to fail and...
