  • 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

    Changing Fundemental Beliefs

    I think the idea that we are babtized into the SDA church and not the Christian church is a disgrace. JM

    Are we all Adventist, coming together as SDA's in one Adventist Forum.

    That is an imoportant point Aza. We come at things from an adventist background, even if we end up all over the place. JM

    Interesting Article: The Gospel is for the Broken

    By the way, I definitely agere with the title of the thread, and I also agree with some parts of the quoted message. JM

    Interesting Article: The Gospel is for the Broken

    I don't think this is correct, I think certain words of Christ are more relevant: 3And He spoke many things to them in (D)parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5"Others fell on the...

    Are we all Adventist, coming together as SDA's in one Adventist Forum.

    I think it is too broad in focus. While it should be broad in participants, it shouldn't be broad in purpose (even if it sometimes tends to, due to the broadness of the participants). JM

    Age Difference?

    I think it is fine as long as everyone goes into the relationship with open eyes. I know that I would have to be sure that it was for my wifes best if I was 20 years older than her... she would be alone probably for a while. JM

    This weeks lesson

    I am going to assume that people have read it, but it is here: Lesson 10 Basically it is about Balaam. Note that he is one of the last people, other than the 3 wisemen (I think) who are part of the magicians/etc but still servants of God. These were common in Abrahams time, but seem to die out...

    Any aspirations to write a book?

    Yes. One idea is to write about scientific assumptions, many people don't know what is assumed in science and it creates misunderstandings. Also included would be the scientific process. A companion piece (maybe in the same book) would be on religious assumptions, the sets of assumptions would...

    Are we all Adventist, coming together as SDA's in one Adventist Forum.

    The idea is the idea behind sabbath school classes, which are some of what allows the church to function on a broad basis. I am not sure if it needs such a huge proliferation of subfora though. Like the sabbath school lessons/etc. We can just have that as part of the two sabbath school...

    Re: The increasingly later age of marriage, both societally and for myself

    They (and I) are bitter because of the (implied?) rejection. The frustration with not finding someone doesn't make people bitter. It is the fact that most of us at my age (and earlier) have been rejected a lot... (directly or indirectly) especially the ones who have been single all (or the...
