  • 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.

    'Lusting After Marriage'

    Like a lot of others perhaps, I used to think the word 'lust' was always a bad thing. But in sum I came to learn that there were 'base/low/carnal lusts' and then there were lusts that were not, are not and cannot be wrong. Now, I have come across this concept of 'lusting after marriage'. It...

    Why are there Alien Worlds?

    I have had much experience in scientific research. Actually a lot of my research was inspired by scripture. I say this: dont mistake scripture for 'popular opinions'. There is nothing in Genesis that precludes the existence of life on other planets or in other solar systems in other galaxies...

    Help! Sinful friends

    There is an opporunity to turn their lives around but a newbie in the Christ has to realize that it might be quite a task. Pray for them, show them love but draw the line--Acts 26:18 came to mind for some reason. Draw the line on not letting old friends be a catalyst for you backsliding. That is...

    What makes a church spirit-filled?

    Fruits of the Spirit should be evident. One thing, I look to see is godly love among those frequenting that congregation--and I mean that which breaks down ungodly traditionalism.
