  • 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

    Prayer for 3 month old Ezekiel

    The son of a friend of mine. Ezekiel had a very high fever 10 days ago, so high in fact Ezekiel's father and mother rushed him to the ER. They found complications... a tumor. Surgery is this Monday to remove it. Prayers needed for a complete and successful surgery, for there to be no more...

    Introduction

    One close friend I have there knows I do. The rest do not know. But neither have I felt a need to share yet. I started a community to open interactions between Christians of all denominations, and even non believers, of all walks and traditions, to support one other. I myself being a Messianic...

    Introduction

    I attend a Russian Orthodox Jewish synagogue, and am a disciple of Yeshua, and I love theoretical physics (PBS Space Time my favorite YT channel). You are the reason I started this community. Shalom and welcome. You are among friends.

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    Not to start a whole new trail here, but for sure we both agree that the verse simply refers to death period. It doesn't matter what manner of death it is. To be clearer though, there are other references than the death of the high priest and the release of the one convicted of manslaughter...

    Regular Religious Jews View on Church and Mosque

    Any place a Jew suspects idolatry, is a place a Jew is forbidden to go.

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    Numbers 35:25. The death of the high priest enabled the one accused of manslaughter to leave from his protected exile, and nullified the right of the avenger of blood to kill the manslaughterer. The death of one unrelated to the crime, but who was anointed for Godly service, enabled justice to...

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    The death of a righteous man atones the greater he is, some for the community, some for the nation. How much more so the death of Messiah who comes at the head of the nation, firstborn of Creation whose death atones for the whole world. It is through this that teshuvah or repentence leads to a...

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    I am an Orthodox Jewish disciple of Jesus. Judaism teaches that a person is judged by their deeds in a balance, that hell for the most part is a temporary but harsh place of extreme spiritual embarassment for the imbalance that remains, that repentence is the means to righting many of one's...

    Abused at work

    May the Lord bless you with wisdom to know how to tread the waters ahead, and may he bless you with the opportunity you need to survive, and thrive, and may you receive His protection to guard you in your way as he navigates you to cleaner waters.

    I'm sad today

    The greatest antidote to sadness is gratitude. Start praising G-d for everything, including the trials you face, since even those are for our good, and you might just find your entire day getting better. :)

    How do you lose your "Salvation"

    The scriptures write "every knee will bow" - this alone plus others like it, prove that once the falsehoods of this world are burned away, and all that remains is G-d in His infinite glory, that to reject G-d then would be impossible. Even the most hardened sinful atheist will be one of those...
