  • 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

    Should homosexuals face the death penalty?

    The Bible clearly states in more than one instance that homosexuality is an abomination and should be punished by death. In this society today I think many would object to this idea, but isn't God's law supreme and eternal? Why should Christians defy God's law? I think Christians need to look at...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Behe's Boy, I apoligize. You are correct; the vision was given to Peter. The passage was talking about Cornelius and then jumps to Peter and I misread that part. And why do you think that I am passing judgement on you? This thread ws not started to incite a debate. I was just stating...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    I am reading the New International Version. I have been told and I believe this is the most accurate Bible available because the scholars went back to the original Hebrew and Greek writings to translate this version. There are even footnotes that tell when there are differences in opinion about...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Behe's Boy, I just read Acts Chapters 10 and 11 and it was very clear in saying that the vision was given to Cornelius. Also I'd like you to give me the reasons as to why you may disobey God's laws - in your own words. "But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Salvatore, I am glad to find out that I am not alone in my convictions. I think it takes a strong heart to obey the laws of the Lord in such a secualr society. I do not blame others for their ignorance, but I think that if you have learned about God's laws then as a Christian, you have a duty...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Behe's Boy, I have read Acts Chapters 10 and 11 as you have said. There is a vague description of Cornelius recieving a vision from God tellng him to eat and that God had made unclean animals clean, but that is it. It is not specific about which animals that were made clean in Cornelius'...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Okay so if God's laws are only for the Jews then why do Christians even bother with the Old Testament? This does not make sense to me. So you are saying that the Ten Commandments only applies to the Jews also? Creation, the story of the flood, David and Goliath are all just stories for the Jews...

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    Jesus came into this world to bring us salvation from our sinful ways. This does not mean that we should go out of our way to sin and just think God doesn't care. IMO this is like giving God the finger every day you sit down to eat.

    Eating pork and shellfish is a grave sin.

    I have read in the Bible that eating pork and shellfish is prohibited by God Himself. From God's own mouth he commands this. So why do so many Christians that I have known throughout my life so blatantly ignore God's command? I was not even aware of this before I became a Christian, but now that...

    Christians shouldn't watch anime

    It is not my opinion. It is the word of the Lord.

    Christians shouldn't watch anime

    I know some of you may not like me saying this but it is the truth. First of all, most anime with the exception of kid's shows are very violent and some even pornographic. But secondly, and most importantly, anime is created almost entirely by non-Christians. As a Christian you should not be...

    Why is God a male?

    Thank you fishstix! I think I have a better understanding and idea of who God is. So from what you have told me, I now see that God IS an omnipresent being, but has the ability to transform himself into a human and take on human characteristics. So, yes, I suppose that God is a male when he...

    Why is God a male?

    Thank you for your responses! But I am afraid that I have only been made more confused by them. In what I have read so far in the Bible, God is clearly a male and this is not some artifact of archaic language. In many instances He is described as a man, for instance when he wrestles with Jacob...
