  • 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

    Calvinism of today versus puritanical Calvinism

    Before I will come to a conclusion whether this man is an heretic or not, I will apply the same advice you suggested me and not assume that the assertion of someone in a matter is true, unless I see the evidence. I was challenging the part of your statement that I might have "misunderstood...

    Calvinism of today versus puritanical Calvinism

    It looks like moderate Calvinism to me. Do you see a difference between moderate Calvinism and High-Calvinism? If I remember correctly, Spurgeon reported interactions with Calvinists that fit your description for Hyper-Calvinism but he named them High-Calvinists or people higher on doctrine. Has...

    You cited Matthew 5:40: "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also." This doesn't look like stealing to me, but making a claim whithin legality to take someone else's tunic. It looks like that at that time there were people with such a status, that they...

    I think as well that the biblical context didn't involve breaking the law, and even that some people could be sometimes enjoying a lawful privilege to do something detrimental to you, such as taking some of your goods.

    I don't know why you think that I am lecturing people, as I simply expressed my wonder that there were people here that don't like to read Bible verses, but still be there reading these posts that contain them. Hans Blaster gave me afterwards an explication that satisfied me, as for his reasons...

    Limited Atonement and 2 Peter 2

    Hello, 2 Peter 2 is a description of false and dangerous teachers, and there are some passages in it where I would be interested to know, how the Calvinists put them in harmony with their Limited Atonement doctrine. V.22 seems to imply that these false teachers were never born again, but kept...

    I understand that, but as I wrote, I would expect that the non-Christians shouldn't mind to much if there are some Bible verses quoted in the discussion. If they dislike that, they are going to have a hard time here, I think.

    A Calvinist perspective on the Parable of the Sower (Matt 13)

    Hello, I would like to know the Calvinist perspective on the four fields of the Parable of the Sower (Matt 13), especially the stony and thorny grounds. The wayside, I think it to be easy to understand: that's the people that heard the Gospel but without the necessarily illumination (v.19). The...

    This is not true, please read the article again. ICE neither entered the church nor interrupted the service but prompted one of its attendant to leave the church service by making his ankle monitor beeping, and then he was arrested outside the church. Do you really mean to put this incident on...

    Thanks for the clarification! I didn't know that there was such a theory such as the "Electric Universe". Nowadays people believe in a lot of such theories, which have no evidence of truth.

    I am a human, not an electrical fan. An electrical fan can't type as I can ;-). No I understood that you wanted to troll about what you called the pseudoscience, and for doing so, you where ready to be confronted to the Bible verses you didn't like to read. I don't know what are you calling...

    That's true, but if someone has a disgust of the Bible as he has, I was wondering why he imposes himself discussing in a Christian forum.

    OK, I guess trolling is the motive. I was more interested in the other sections of the forum, but I am also concerned about the ramping lawlessness that is occurring overall in the Western world. And when such things happens in America, they also very soon happen in Europa.

    OK, but why not doing that in a secular forum? There must be plenty of secular forums where people discuss American politics and current events. What attracts you to a Christian forum?
