  • 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.

    Anxiety and Trusting God with results

    I know exactly how you feel. You are being human. It is not in our nature to cast our anxieties onto Jesus. It takes lots of practice. I am having the same struggle leaving my anxieties at His feet. While it's not sports-related it is still anxiety that the Lord says we must give Him. Here's...

    Clean or Unclean?

    There are PLENTY of people that abstain from eating unclean animals. They are called Jews. In the New Testament, Paul (who had been raised a Jew) receives a revelation from God that there are no longer unclean animals. Acts 10:9-15 “About noon the following day as they were on their journey...

    Struggling to know whether I'm saved or not

    Check with Paul himself from Acts 16 29-31: “The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”” Paul...

    Mandela Effect

    I recently heard of the Mandela Effect and I think it has merit with regards to many people's memories. Memories are volatile. We reconstruct them and re-store them every time we recall them. Here's a weird thing for you to try: think of a vivid memory of something you did as a child...

    They baptized...

    I recently saw a NIV study bible that was supplemented throughout with photos and historical information about the places mentioned in each book. They discussed relics found in the area, how it looks today, and how it probably looked at the time of the story. I found it fascinating and really...

    Why don't folks stick with Scripture?

    For believers to stray from scripture is as old as Christianity. Look at how many times Paul had to remind his churches that they did not need to do special works or sacrifices or anything but accept the grace of God. Granted, Paul's churches did not have The New Testament, so strictly speaking...

    Number of the beast

    Definitely no reason to fear or react to the number itself. It is merely a label. Speaking of 666, Ezra 2:13: “The sons of Adonikam, 666.” ‭‭Ezra‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

    New venture

    “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Will fasting help save my faith?

    I guess it depends on what you do while fasting. You should spend the day(s) you fast in prayer and worship. Use the time to get closer to God and listen for Him. By the way, Christians are expected to fast. Matthew 6:16 says WHEN you fast, not IF you fast...

    PLEASE HELP ME!

    Check a local employment agency. There are also websites that have job listings, help with resumes, and notify you when jobs come up. Maybe you can get some job to pay bills until the right one comes along.

    The Real Deal

    In James 2 we learn that we must demonstrate our faith. We receive faith from God as a noun, but we demonstrate it as a verb. You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham...
