  • 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

    The Birthday of Christ

    How was it the other way around if the Horus tale was at least 1000 years earlier?

    The Birthday of Christ

    On a side note, notice the similarities between the Horus story and the Jesus story. It is interesting that the Horus story is centuries older than the Jesus story. I have often wondered if parts of Jesus' story were copied from the Egyptian mythology tale of Horus.

    What is this world coming to?

    In a democratic society, should an unbeliever be made to honor God's law? We aren't a Christian nation with Christian law, should a non-Christian be made to uphold our values, in a democratic society? The nation you describe sounds like an Islam run nation. In my world, I'm going to let God...

    Yes, you are hearing me right. The US is a government run nation, for better or worse. Let God sort it out. What I said was,

    What is this world coming to?

    In the US they do. It's between them and God, not them and the government. The gay man has the same right to marry anybody he chooses, the same as the straight man. In the US, my religion will not infringe on your rights, for better or worse. That's the way it should be.

    What is this world coming to?

    Yes, this is the US, it's about rights. This isn't a Christian run nation. The gay citizen has the same rights as you.

    What is this world coming to?

    So, you don't think homosexual citizens of the US have any rights? I'm a Christian first, but under the US constitution, citizens of the US have the same rights, be it gay or straight.

    Author of Hebrews

    After reading Paul's other works before reading Hebrews, I got the exact opposite feeling. I came away feeling, "who wrote this, it doesn't sound like Paul's other writings?". At that time, I knew nothing of the thinking that the book of Hebrews was ever in question of not being Paul. My Bible...

    Which church father are you?

    You are St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members...
