  • 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

    Ministry ? Glorified salesman ?

    Because (and I think it's unfortunate) too many people have been programmed to think a person's qualifications for "ministry" include how many degrees they have and from where. Some people won't attend a church if the pastor isn't a "doctor".

    just a question

    There is a difference between demon OPRESSION and demon POSSESSION. A demon cannot POSSESS and child of God; however, a demon can OPRESS a child of God.

    Trinity: Is it Required?

    Jesus said "if ye believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins." That pretty well sums up what is required for salvation, though there are admittedly nuances involved in exactly what this means.

    What does it really mean to be "Spirit-Filled"? Really?

    Read Acts 8 for a clear example of baptized believers who did not have the Holy Ghost. One does not automatically become filled with the Holy Ghost by believing.

    time more closely means "value", and this does have to do with money. It is translated "price" eight times in the NT, and "sum" once, in addition to being translated "honour" 35 times. So while it often does NOT have anything to do with money, in many cases it clearly does. Matthew 27:9 9 Then...

    TED HAGGARD - Insurance salesman

    Let's not forget that Peter DENIED even KNOWING Jesus, something dangerously close to blasphemy, just fifty days or so prior to Pentecost. Yet there he was, preaching again before you know it!

    Are you suggesting the NT church disobeyed Paul in refusing to honor the laborer?

    JESUS never chased after converts

    Interesting topic, couple of points: 1. You are correct. Jesus never "chased" potential converts. He allowed the rich young ruler to walk away sorrowfully. Jesus was only interested in spending time with those who really wanted what He had to offer. 2. While Jesus taught vast crowds, this...

    1 Timothy 5:17-18 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

    Does "all things" mean everything?

    He said all things are possible if we believe, meaning God CAN make it happen if necessary. He did not say all things would happen just because we believe.
