  • 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.

    Struggling with my thoughts

    When the enemy tempts me with unbelief, I remind myself that the only reason I feel that is because he is real. And if the enemy is real, I can only reason one thing: that GOD is real as well! And not only that, but He has all power and that I don't have to be subject to the oppression of the...

    Bible translation?

    KJV. If I'm confused, I refer to the Greek. And if that fails, I'll take a peak at another translation, but, for accuracy purposes, I use the KJV + Greek.

    When Someone Says "The Bible says don't judge", how do you respond?

    I often run into people who say this and, although I know what the scripture actually says, I find it difficult to explain this concept to them in a quick, somewhat summarized way that won't come out as an utter rebuke. [Honestly, I have this problem in general, getting too worked up over...

    I Need Help Please

    It sounds like your a sort of a modern day Jeremiah; you have the truth, you have a burden to share the truth, but no one wants to hear it! I would only advise you to listen to what God has to say. Remember, we plant and water, but only God gives the increase. Maybe you're part of God's...

    Question:

    Don't know if this has been said... 2 Timothy 3:16 says "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

    A Conversation With Omari

    A Short Testimony of a Late Night Bible Study It was late at night, and it was time for Omari to hit the sack. Of course, he suddenly had a list of things he had to do. His teeth hadn't been brushed, he didn't have his pajamas on, he needed to do his good-night hugs and kisses, etc. Among...

    In Defense of Speaking In Tongues

    Also, could it mean that the tongue speaker is only speaking to God, and only God understands the reason for their speaking in tongues, which would mean no one else understood the reason (and it could still be an earthly language)? I only say this because there have been occasions where a...

    Praying

    This is where we sometimes mess up. We'd like to think that God is limited in the same way that we are, especially concerning communication. He doesn't only use audible words, so you may not hear "the voice of God" resonating through the air every time you pray. Sometimes, He uses dreams. Other...

    In Defense of Speaking In Tongues

    This is a short essay I wrote after seeing many false statements against speaking in tongues. I wrote this while I was angry so there may be some "holes". Just let me know so I can fix it ASAP. Thanks. In America, words play a big role in our society. Wars are started, people are tortured...
