  • 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

    Anglicans and purgatory ?

    The belief of Purgatory suggests that humans have to do something to add to the work Jesus did on the cross. Either Jesus paid for all sin once for all, or we have to add something to His work. It is my belief that Jesus's work was total and complete and I can add nothing to it, as can no other...

    Historical Inaccuraccies in the Troparion for Christmas

    There is a belief that the Magi were from a sect that Daniel began in Babylon looking forward to the arrival of the Messiah. There may have been as many as 70 in the group, (there is no mention in the gospel of how many, but of 3 gifts). Have a look at a video on you tube "the star of...

    More Married Couples, Same-Sex and Straight, Are Sharing the Job of Pastor

    Part of the reason that shrimps are an abomination to God is: Shrimps and shellfish are the cleaners of the oceans, they filter out all the toxins that appear in the water. This is why when there are toxins and other nasties in the water we afe advised not to consume these sea foods.

    I cannot nunderstand hownthose supposedly following the teachings of Jesus and scripture can approve of same sex ministers in a so-called Christian church. Whether people want to see and agree, there are several places in scripture that call homosexual relations an abomination to God.

    What are your thoughts on this dilemma?

    Why then?

    Angels, like man were created with free choice. Satan chose to replace God, that failed. He deceived Eve (lied) Caused Cain to kill Abel (murderer). So yes Satan is a fallen angel. No god was not blindsided, He knows what has and will happen. Jesus was appointed our sacrificial lamb before...

    Theological of Evolution

    Firstly, when you assume you make an ass of you and me (ass-u-me) Secondly, Paul writes, "because of the sin of one man, death came into the world" If this is true then evolution would take away the first sin that Jesus died for. that means no need for salvation. Where to then? :preach:

    Does this verse apply to genetics?

    Is it possible that the OP was referring to the level of genetic quality in people, not their net worth? There are less intelligent people on earth; they are not necessarily the financially poor, just genetically poor. I don't believe that the scripture mentioned refers to genetically poor...
