  • 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

    Liberal Bible Translations?

    it's with the books of samuel. it says at several points that God commanded david to take his men out to foreign villages and kill every man, woman and child, and furthermore if david didn't God would visit His punishment on david and his men. so apparently david said he would and went out and...

    What do liberal Christians believe?

    The rest of these repliers have the only answer possible covered. There's not only no single answer for what all liberals believe or don't believe, there's no single answer for anybody. If you're unique, your beliefs are too. It follows, so are everybody else's. Dig? :cool:

    On loving one's neighbour as one's self

    Well, I don't think anyone could know how Hitler felt. He must have had a nearly unique life perspective, ya think?

    Anyone know their Guardian Angel?

    My guardian angel just recently made herself know to me, but I am dreadfully ignorant on the subject, I fear. She told me her name - Molly. I'm not exactly certain what's going on here, as I would have thought a guardian angel would be above us spiritually. Molly seems to indicate that she wants...

    New Thread

    Thank you, Baptist sister. Thinking about my above question it occurs to me that such a book may not be that easy to find. Mostly, it would be great if someone could tell me - anonymously, of course - of experiences similar to this they may have heard of. I would like reassurance that I don't...

    New Thread

    Greetings, Angellady. I have a very peculiar thing to bring to you Catholic folks, and very much hope that you don't think I'm nuts. I was baptized in an Episcopalian church as an infant and raised in a Presbyterian church, both of them pretty definitely Protestant. As a young adult I spent...

    If you could revise the seven deadly sins, what would you do?

    Well, I'll tell you one I might add: MULTI-TASKING IN YOUR CAR! This is without doubt one of the stupidest, most dangerous, non-thinking, self-centered habits the United States has seen in DECADES!!! It seems to have started with cell phones, but we Yankees have so much ingenuity, we've branched...

    Better Methods Or Better Men?

    Focussing on methods for a minute here, IMO a congregation or any organization should examine its methodologies from time to time. 'Method' implies a user of same and a thing that he/she uses the method on. Since things change over time, sometimes methods or methodologies become outmoded or...

    More and more churches exploding?

    Well, I used to see things like yours happening to churches quite a bit in various locales throughout the United States, but I've never heard of quite such awfulness happening to so many congregations in one region! I pray for healing there - not to invade your privacy, but might you post where...
