  • 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

    Pre-destination???

    Here's the thing... Romans 8:30 says: Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. This makes it very clear that ALL those who are predestined, are called, justified and glorified (not just some of...

    GODS side effect from abortion

    I agree that neither sex outside of marriage or abortion are ever justifiable. However, I don't think it is ironic these issues are linked... it is cause and effect: sex outside of marriage = unwanted pregnancy (sometimes):wave:

    GODS side effect from abortion

    This view is unforgiving and merciless. It is important to recognize that taking the life of an unborn child is murder and sinful, but there is also forgiveness. Jesus Christ forgives and calls us to do the same. Rather than desiring pain and shame for a mother who aborted her unborn child, we...

    Pre-destination???

    Which is exactly right. And I want my certainty of salvation to rest in God's sovereignty, not because I made a "good choice." Only God's grace brings salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9- salvation is not by our works)... it has nothing to do with ourselves (we are wretched sinners). The doctrine of...

    Abortion and double homocide???

    I agree; life either begins at conception or it doesn't. Our laws need to be consistent, not "convenient."

    Pre-destination???

    This is a common misconception... God did not choose some to be damned and some to be saved... ALL OF US are damned and by His grace, he saves some of us from damnation.

    Abortion and double homocide???

    Here's the thing... Why is it if someone murders a pregnant woman it is called a "double homocide" and the perpetrator is charged with two counts of murder, but if the pregnant lady choses to take the life from her own child it is legal and they call it "abortion"? :confused:

    Pre-destination???

    Romans 8:28-30, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And...

    Pre-destination???

    Making the "choice" for salvation is OUR first step in Salvation, but we would not make that choice had God not predestined us to do so. Salvation belongs to the Lord and I, for one, do not dare to take any part of the credit away from God by saying that I chose Him. Romans 3 is pretty clear...
