  • 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

    A philosohical argument for the possibility of hell as eternal damnation

    I do not understand exactly your objection. Is your comment concerned with the use of the terms 'eternal' and 'uncreated'? When we say that God is eternal, then we understand that God was never created, that God always existed. Moreover, God will also always exist, i.e. God will never cease to...

    A philosohical argument for the possibility of hell as eternal damnation

    Even if we assume that God is omnipresent, a supposition I do not share, my argument is still in force. Damnation is the deprivation of God's benign presence; notice the key word "benign." If God is present in Hell, then it is the presence of God's wrath we are talking about. Hell is a realm...

    A philosohical argument for the possibility of hell as eternal damnation

    I believe that the biblical concept of God's love and the concept of eternal damnation are quite compatible. The concept of eternal damnation is associated with the concept of Hell, where hell is conceived as a place/state of torment. I do not believe that the primary function of Hell is...

    Personification and Trinity

    Hello, I have a question about the use of the term 'personification' and its application to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. In literature the term 'personification' is used as a figure of speech in which human characteristics are attributed to an abstract quality, animal, or inanimate...
