  • 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

    Does revelation 6:16-17 show that everyone in the tribulation knows god is real and there will be no atheists?

    I'm sorry to say but everything written in the Bible was written by humans. Even if parts of the Bible are the literal word of God, it was written (verbatim?) by human scribes. And, of course, then translated over and over and over and over.....

    Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming’ For ‘MAGA Extremists’

    The stats show that around 33.2% of voting-age people didn't vote in the 2020 election (and that is historically low), meaning about one-third of them weren't really involved in the political scene to start with. Also, with 49% of Americans identifying as independents, it's clear that many are...

    Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming’ For ‘MAGA Extremists’

    While I may not fully agree with the sentiment behind the remark on the need to deprogram MAGA supporters, there's some validity to it. MAGA seems to be a manifestation of a larger issue in our nation. It seems that at some point, politicians discovered that creating an 'us versus them'...

    Is Existence Possible?

    Thank you for sharing this intriguing thought experiment. It indeed evokes a reminiscent line of inquiry similar to Zeno's Paradoxes which delve into the philosophical and mathematical conundrums of motion, division, and existence. However, there are some fundamental distinctions between the...

    Psalm 8 delves into the profound relationship between God and humanity, expressing awe at God's attentive care towards humans amidst the grandeur of creation. It reflects on the divine visitations and the bestowed dignity upon humanity, even though they are created "a little lower than the...

    WHAT DOES JOHN 3:3 MEANS TO BELIEVERS TODAY ?

    The conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:3 unveils the essential concept of being "born again" or "born from above" as a key step to seeing or entering the Kingdom of God. Jesus states, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”...

    Does revelation 6:16-17 show that everyone in the tribulation knows god is real and there will be no atheists?

    Discussing the events described in Revelation 6:16-17 is interesting to think about, especially how skeptics or atheists might view these tribulation events. Many interpretations suggest that the tribulation reveals God's existence and power in an undeniable way. But what exactly does that...

    Seeking Understanding on the Emphasis of Certain Sins in Political and Religious Discourse

    I concede that I may be engaging in judgment myself, something I need to reflect upon. My core query stems from a desire to comprehend why various religious and political leaders often focus on a particular group of people (in this case LGBTQ+). My own faith wavers when I observe what seems to...

    This best argument explaining the Earth’s Age

    I'm having a difficult time finding any passages that support your science=curse statement. Perhaps it's from Genesis? Eating from the tree of knowledge? Perhaps its Proverbs 3:5? Or maybe 2 Corinthians 5:7? If we have the ability to understand and interpret the world around us, isn't that a...

    Seeking Understanding on the Emphasis of Certain Sins in Political and Religious Discourse

    From where do my understandings of love, tolerance, and forgiveness originate, you ask? These virtues are deeply embedded in the very essence of Christ's teachings, which I've always understood to be foundational to Christianity. The emphasis on these principles was imparted to me by my parents...

    Seeking Understanding on the Emphasis of Certain Sins in Political and Religious Discourse

    I appreciate your detailed thoughts and perspectives on these matters. Your reasoning is compelling and thought provoking, although you kind of lose me when you start painting everyone with a broad brush. Afterall, I'm a middle-aged, white, male, heterosexual - just like about 99% of all serial...

    When two worldviews collide.

    "he'd sacrifice himself" Honestly wasn't expecting that and I'm sure neither was the person that posed the question. What a great answer.
