  • 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 to respond to climate change

    I totally agree and I've been saying the exact same thing for decades now. Back in the 70s they were predicting a new ice age and that could still happen, but the "narrative" changed to phony "global warming" propped up by phony data and government/media rhetoric and propaganda. REAL science has...

    The Knowledge of God

    Here's the problem with that reasoning James, and I'll address your concluding statement first as most significant. IF God "transcends" time and space, then you are saying that He is infinite and "transcendent" in His very Being - infinite in every way. Unfortunately for God (and you), this...

    The Knowledge of God

    Allow me to follow up on my statement regarding God's lack of knowledge of every human on this planet. "21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord...

    The Knowledge of God

    I agree with you on some of those things Paul. In particular, I believe that God's prophetic revelations of events future to the timeline of the lives of the people He was communicating with were essentially "previews" of what He intended to accomplish and had full confidence that He COULD and...

    The Knowledge of God

    You're welcome Athanasius. The definition of God you are relying on appears to be flawed, however. Please consider amending it in order to bring it into alignment with God's Word.

    The Knowledge of God

    Yes, Ivan - God hoped that Abraham WOULD make all those preparatory decisions leading up the actual sacrifice. God accepted Abraham's obvious intent as the fait accompli. There was no mind reading involved and He chose to stay Abraham's hand at the most appropriate final moment. There is no need...

    The Knowledge of God

    A close look at the context on your Scripture citations above indicate a significantly different picture of God's knowledge, Paul. Jeremiah 1:4 references God's genealogical, hereditary development of specific individuals in history (a "breeding program" so to speak) for very unique roles. That...

    The Knowledge of God

    I realize that the strength of your response is an emotional reaction to the controversial nature of my observations, Ivan, so I won't take offense to your comments above. For the record, I do NOT approach God's Word with preconceived outcomes or ideas governing my understanding and...

    The Knowledge of God

    Yes, there is clear evidence of angelic surveillance being the source of God's knowledge where humanity is concerned in Job also. Job chapter 1 states, "6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto...

    The Knowledge of God

    That's not exactly what I said. I said He does not have full knowledge of each individual in humanity, but He DOES have comprehensive, complete knowledge of the mechanics of this physical planet and its ecosystems etc. according to His original design and ongoing maintenance thereof.

    Symbols of the Christian Faith

    I read some Gore Vidal a few weeks ago reflecting on Hollywood and his experiences within it as a screenwriter. Interesting individual! I think he may even be Jewish. But he was correct in his observations on the crucifix as far as I'm concerned. It's a very negative, horrific image and it does...

    Yeah my preference would be neither but I am considering a Lion of Judah tattoo.

    Symbols of the Christian Faith

    I agree completely. Catholicism capitalizes on the whole "guilt and fear" approach to faith and manipulates the masses on those terms. Although it's been proven as an effective strategy historically for them, in reality it has nothing to do with Biblical truth and the true situation as it exists...

    The Knowledge of God

    One of the greatest misunderstandings among Christians today is the scope and breadth of God's so-called "omniscience" (a word not found in the Scriptures). As one of His attributes, one would think that Christian theologians have thoroughly studied the Word of God and analyzed to death every...

    Symbols of the Christian Faith

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to start this discussion (and I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone or being controversial strictly for the sake of stirring up strife) but I would like to engage in a little dialogue on the subject of symbology as it applies to Christianity -...
