  • 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

    What is Missouri like?

    Missouri has the Ozarks, shared with Arkansas, Oklahoma and a tiny bit in Kansas. You need to experience it during your lifetime: caves, springs, cold streams and forests. I spent eight years in the Ozarks, and I wish I were there now.

    Dumbest Jokes of All Time

    Latvia, IMHO, has the world's worst jokes: Tried translating a joke from Latvian. John, a rural farmer, decided to visit the zoo in the capital with his family. He has a lot of fun, and comes back ecstatic. His neighbor Tolya asks him what he saw there. "Well, I saw a giraffe."...

    Neglected British History

    I should mention that I recently finished reading "The Drama of the Lost Disciples," by George F. Jowett. It has a fair number of typos, and needed an editor, but the information is just amazing - the early history of Christianity in Britain. It would seem that Britain was the nation spoken of...

    3 hours

    Jesus the Christ suffered and died on His cross. One of the two thieves crucified with Him came to his senses, and was promised to be with Jesus in Paradise. The other thief did not come around, and his fate is not given. My expectation is that he will suffer corrective punishment after his...

    The Republican Party: Lesser of Two Evils

    The lesser of two evils? Perhaps it's more like the evil of two lessers.

    Does God operate at a lower standard of morality/ethics than he requires of us?

    Your simple question demolishes massive mountains of theo-illogical thought.

    Are there varying degrees of punishment in hell?

    Punishments vary, but they are for a purpose - the same sort of purpose your parents had when they spanked you, grounded you or sent you to your room. What is depicted in Dante, Milton and Mary K. Baxter is NOT in the Bible. Ask yourself where in the languages of Latin, Greek, Aramaic or...

    Popes new 10 commandments about climate change

    The environment/gaia is the new idol of those who continue to get rich and fly to meetings in jets and helicopters, while telling us that we "vill eat zee bugs" and be happy and own nothing. God has far better plans for us than that.

    The world has only nine years left!!!

    There is no global warming - the planet warms and cools around a mean. The climate is always changing as well. What is happening is Birth Pangs, and they will continue until Jesus Christ the Lord returns and the new heavens/earth are brought forth.
