  • 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.

    Who is responsible?

    The task of a christian witness is to give a message. That is all. We are not supposed to convince people to follow the way God has provided, just tell them about it. The spirit of God will the the convincing.After that only one thing remains.... The choice to accept or not accept. God will...

    John waited for Peter---Your thoughts....?

    I think of all the disciples, John was the only one who really understood what happened. He also had a good understanding of what was going on in the heart of Peter (denial of Jesus). I think he wanted to see Peter's reaction when he (Peter) realise that what Jesus said has come to pass.

    Testimony Gone Wrong

    If Jesus is not God - How will it influence Christianity

    I was asked this question by a friend of mine. A true believer that loves God with his whole heart. I was thinking along these lines for a while now. Remember - nothing is taken away from the work that was done by Jesus. He is still the saviour send by God, but a man chosen by God. After...

I would like to give you something to hold on to - When you gave your life to Jesus your sins were forgiven and their power over your soul nulified. Now, why do we still "sin" You are a growing...

    I am lost, Please help

    God the Father is much more than just the Creator of all we perceive with our senses and accept with our minds. Being human and trying to worship God in the best way we know how, we end up using a combo of two systems: Rituals for or bodies and Symbols and Ikons for or minds. - The real you...
