  • 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

    Is it possible to be a Christian, but NOT a disciple

    Is it possible to be a Christian, but NOT a disciple

    This is what I learned in our discipleship training at church: A disciple is a follower of Jesus who is commanded by Jesus to lead others to Jesus. "Come, follow me," Jesus said; "And I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 Discipleship involves 3 changes: Head, Heart, Hands. Head...

    Is it possible to be a Christian, but NOT a disciple

    I don't think so. I think the term is used as a title incorrectly, and that it should really be understood to mean "student." We all learn from the Lord, so we are all disciples. I agree, we are all disciples once we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of our life, but I believe we grow as a...

    Is it possible to be a Christian, but NOT a disciple

    This is true! Jesus Christ is the only one who is perfect. We are all guilty of sin, which is why we need a Savior. Everytime we choose to sin, we are following our own path and not the Lord's path.

    Is it possible to be a Christian, but NOT a disciple

    Often, new Christians are not discipled as they should be. Someone needs to take these new believers under their wing and teach them discipleship. There is a very good discipleship study book called, "Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual: Equipping Disciples Who Make Disciples" by Avery T...

    Committing Adultery

    God will forgive you. It's better that you are acknowledging things now. Many times we fall deeper and deeper into sin. Satan wants to separate you from God and he wants you to fail. He wants your marriage to fail. Many times pornography can lead to a real physical affair. God wants to get...

    Question

    I believe our spirit goes to heaven and our bodies remain in the grave until Jesus returns. When Jesus returns we will be transform and receive a perfect physical body. I think a lot of things we don't understand though and as someone else said Only God knows.

    Do you think that the Pope is in Heaven?

    Do you think that the Pope is in Heaven?

    God is the only one who knows the heart of the Pope so really none of us know but I believe the evidence points us in the direction that he was a follower of Christ, therefore it is my belief that he is in heaven. I need to do the poll.
