  • 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

    How Many New Covenants? Dispies say 2.

    Kenith, There's only one new Covenant. That's why it's called the New CovenANT, not New Covenants. Dispensationalism is very, very wrong here. Barry

    Dispensationalism from a Reformed view...

    Street Preacher, Regarding the church being a Mystery. The only mystery was that Jew and Gentile would form one body, one People of God. It's simply false that the " Church" is a mystery in the dispensationist idea. The word church simply means " Called Out ones" . The Old Testament...

    Dispensationalism and the New Covenant

    Guys, "And if are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and Heirs to the COVENANT". Classical and Hyper Dispensationalist are just so wrong. Paul is right, Isreal is the church, the church today is the true Israel God is interested in. The Kingdom offer is the salvation of your soul, not a...

    How was Jesus Baptized?

    Guys, Why do fundamentalist insist that baptism pictures the death, burial and ressurrection? Where in the Bible to do get that from? Baptism pictures the cleansing from sin by the Blood of Christ. I see nothing in scipture to say it symbolizes anything else. Barry
