  • 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

    Infallibility of Scripture?

    Hi AzA... yes. It has been awhile! I like this idea a lot--that scripture is just a guide, an assistant in one's path to the Divine. Right, right--it was the same process for the Tanakh. Why I question, however, the construction of the NT is its time period. I think historically there was...

    Infallibility of Scripture?

    Hello brothers and sisters. Some background--I grew up in a moderate Seventh Day Adventist home; yet as an adult there are some things I've been questioning with the Bible, SDA, and especially Christianity as a movement. I am not going to go deeply into any of these issues--they are broad...

    Trinitarian beliefs?

    Hello brothers and sisters. I have been a seeker as of late on my spiritual quest. I grew up mostly in a rather moderate Seventh Day Adventist environment. A faith, as an adult, I have questioned and have had trouble alining myself with. At any rate, I also have numerous questions and issues...

    The Coexist Bumper stickers

    I'd like to give a simple answer, but there isn't one. I think we can co-exist. At least, it is an ideal we should strive for. Even the impossible should be set as a goal, for it pushes us to better our own condition. With that said, religion has been the cause of some of the greatest conflicts...

    U2: The best Christian rock group ever?

    this place is dead--that's why I'm not here very much anymore. But I might respond to an older post by holyrockr--actually all of the members are reasonably outspoken about their faith. Adam Clayton has become especially so in the last few years. Initially he was the charachter people questioned...

    Underoath

    I will say that Underoath remains one of the few decent alt/screamo-ish sort of bands out there today. In my "metal" phase, these guys were my favorite. I think that was every scene kid when They're Only chasing safety came out. With that in mind, Underoath is one of the few bands I still...

    There's Something In Your Room

    well actually I'm not looking for someone to play it... just for someone to read it and partake of the emotion. I am slowly working on music for it, just waiting till the right idea comes along. My project is the velcro leaves (mypace.com / thevelcroleaves) and we do experimental/indie... and...

    There's Something In Your Room

    "Sombody's watching me?" No :D! I am not so sure I catch the pun, though--what do you mean? much peace

    Hi 1st time poster on Christian Forum.

    Whow... I like the style and the seemless flow. It has a whimsical, childish flow--in a good way! Yet I notice some dark undertones. Message me the myspace, or check out my project at myspace [dot] com/thevelcroleaves and add us. You have a talent. much peace, jonathan

    There's Something In Your Room

    Thanks trt for the nice remarks. For wslctrc, these have a darker undertone, yes. And your confusion seems to partially arrise from the surreal images the piece utlizes--and that is intended. This piece deals with the concept of abuse and personal, emotional neglect. It is purposefully...

    Michael Tait announced as new lead singer for Newsboys

    I'm glad you enjoyed it--I thought the production was fine. The lyrics were just so mild in comparison to what Peter is capable of. I am not saying the initial theme is terrible, but I found it kind of cliche and sort of overused--especially the chorus. He is a creative writer, he can think of...

    Michael Tait announced as new lead singer for Newsboys

    I used to be a newsboys fan in that, while lyrically there wasn't too much there sometimes, they were forward thinking in the dilluted world of "christian music." Their use of electronics and power pop served to make music that was less youth groupy (minus a few "anthems") and more music...

    Shoegaze (genre)

    Showgaze kind of emerged in the mid-80s and was quite big in the 90s alt/indie scene... and seems to be still active today. The problem is that the term is thrown about so much anymore, that I often question whether it is a genre at this point. It seems to have been engulfed into different...

    Evolutonary theory is disproven

    ...and creationism is proven beyond the point of reasonable doubt. Yes, same old story. There will always be the believers and doubters on both sides... that is the way it has been and it doesn't seem it will change anytime soon. much peace
