  • 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

    Im not sure what you mean about the different levels of sin. Do you mean in the eyes of God? I cant imagine anyone would have difficulty in differentiating murder and spitting gum and the morals of each in human terms! :) Which is kind of my point really. I think most thinking people understand...

    Original Sin and the Knowledge of Good & Evil

    I wish it didnt say 'Tree of Knowledge'. I wonder how many children grow up thinking that the reason for all bad things in the world is because man sought knowledge. Not a particularly good lesson to start kids out with IMO, I cant imagine anyone disagreeing with that. Perhaps it was due to the...

    Can you be a Christian and a practising homosexual and still be saved?

    I find it difficult to understand why someone would throw being a homosexual in with murder, lying and stealing. I dont understand the reasons for it being a sin (other than the Bible et), other than as a result of the same kind of bigotry we see against any other group of people, demonstrated...

    Does morality exist without God?
