  • 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.

    Being Baptised a second time after infant Baptism?

    No, to DO for God produces obedience. WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT. 2 Timothy 2:19 New International Version (NIV) 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of...

    Being Baptised a second time after infant Baptism?

    Stick to the facts. 1. When you were baptized, did you know why you were baptized? 2. Were you baptized for the repentance of sin? 3. Did you confess your repentance and confess your sins publicly when you were baptised? 4. Did you have faith that Jesus would forgive you of your sins when...

    Being Baptised a second time after infant Baptism?

    Your child baptism is completely invalid. Baptism as a child without confession or faith is a heresy. And yes, WITHOUT being baptised for the repentance of sins, followed by confession of sins and faith in Christ, in any church, would be completely outside of biblical fact. - You see...

    Being Baptised a second time after infant Baptism?

    The only unforgivable sin is the rejection of the Holy Spirit, which is also considered blasphemy. So long as you submit to the Holy Spirit, God will forgive you of all of your sins. Yes, the sins that we committed in the past are severe, as a matter of fact, some of us are still committing...

    Where did God come from?

    I can say that your physicist is talking about quantum physics. the problem is that nobody can truly understand the quantum realm, they can only speak about it in probabilities. His theory, is just that, a theory.

    How do you know that it wasn't God Himself? What kind of an attack was it?

    Will God forgive the same sin over and over again?

    That's a hard sin to break. Read Romans 6, Know that Christ has given you power over your sin. Also know that struggling with sin and suffering is what "take up your cross and follow me" means. Sin is a heavy weight that will always be with you, but you must persevere. Fast and pray. Don't...

    Where did God come from?

    God didn't come from anywhere. God has always been and will always be. God is the source of everything. It's impossible for you to comprehend eternity, so how is God supposed to give you any explanation? You wouldn't understand it any better if He told you the answer. Because He already has :)

    Am I trapped?

    Sailor, do you really think that it's going to get any easier with the next women? Read first Corinthians. Marriage is not supposed to be easy, God will never pick a wife for you that meets all of your needs. Marriage is so that you may learn how to be yoked with another soul for the term of...

    Laughed at for being Christian

    " and that I have a Father who loves me unconditionally, no matter what I do" Be careful with this statement, because it's a false one. Read Hebrews 10. As far as your boyfriend goes, God equates "saving" belief with obedience. If you truly believe in God, then you will obey what He tells...

    Fear and Pride

    If you fear God, you willn't fear anything else. If you don't fear God, you will fear everything else.

    Not "feeling" God - maybe too much doubt...

    I guess you've got it all figured out, haven't you? 1 Corinthians 1:21, for through the worlds wisdom, the world did not know Him.

    I like cats more than I like people.

    This makes me sick. That none of you would bother to teach this woman about Loving people, instead you choose to sit around and praise cats, ignoring completely the fact that she is failing the test.
