  • 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

    Living by Faith--Is it for today?

    I have been walking the path of God for a long time. God gave his all, His Son. The act of giving honors Gods gift and our heavenly Father.

    Was Santa a secular or pagan replacement for Christ?

    Actually God states he will take what s**** meant for evil and God will turn it for good. That is what happened with Santa. Look at all the joy it brings children.

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    NOW GIVE EAR AND GIVE ANSWER! Which is greater the temple or he whom created the Temple? Did Got bruise Mary for you? Did God Give Mary as a light to the gentles? Did God write volumns about her fortelling of her Glory and of her day? Did the Prophets of old spend thousands of hours...

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    ONE NEW MAN Christ FORMED one new man from the people of the two covenants. He declared ALL have sinned. All have lied. All have broken the law.

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    Look here this has gone on far to long. Mary sinned, every one has other then Christ. It does not change her role or position in history or service to God. What is being testified too on the mound of transfiguration is that Christ has become the bridge between the two covenants, one new man...

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    I guess i should give a little wisdom. Jesus was transfiguared on the mound and whom was standing there with him, the great Law giver and the preachers of rightious. Christ is the bridge between the 2 covenants. Those whom died in the first covenant are not in the grave they are in the spirit...

    Question of Mary

    Jesus gave charge to John of Mary because he knew that John would be the Last of the original Apostles that John would live to be about 100. Jesus was watching out for his Mother. Jesus knew his brothers would die before John.

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    Why do you think Mary did not sin. when Christ was preaching in the temple and she and her sons thought Jesus was insane. They went to get him and called for him. But he would not come out. They were being lead by whom to stop the work of God. Satan of course or was she following her heart...

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    This has been a very interesting study on the sinless nature of Mary. But what you all fall to take into consideration is that we all know in part and understand in part. Until the vail is removed we will not know exactly what the extent of the matter is. The simple truth is we live according...

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    Jesus was ask to teach how to pray. His reply. Instructed us to pray to the Father.

    To tithe, or not to tithe. That is the question!

    The reason we give through the Church is to glorify Gods church. And operate as one body in unity. When we go outside the church and reach out to the poor it also brings glory to God. But we can also become filled with pride. Christ said i did not come to due away with the Law. And he did not...

    How can Mary be sinless > 1 John 4:3

    Of course we research what it means to be the seed of Abraham but would that make Abraham born Again. Being saved and born again are two different things! We that are Born Again are saved by the act of simple belief in Christ free gift. We are the receivers of the promised...
