  • 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

    GOD Wants HIS Children Well & Joyful

    i guess you are talking about Olsteen here?? "It must be the spirit that lives within me... I can't even look at the guy... When I look at him, even in a still photo I have a strong sense of delusion, opportunist, deception. A most unnerving sense."

    Looking for quotes on how God's love is so much greater than our love

    God loves us too much to leave us where we are... namely in our sin and misery (the misery that results therefrom). And we suffer from the sins of others we have to live with (or choose to live w/)... when i am at the Real Presence (found in the Catholic Churches only), i see many things...

    what false doctrine to you feel is the most dangerous?

    this situation was made worse by Luther's once saved always s'd teaching... if all we have to do is "accept Jesus as personal savior" ... well, why bother with "rules" that being said, i dont think most people believe in once saved always saved to the point of... well, they say they believe...

    Saint Faustina's Vision of Hell (The 7 Characteristics of Hell)

    it is distrubing that most people end up in Hell (or so can be assumed by Jesus' words that "few find the narrow way that leads to eternal life") but the longer i live, the more i see. i see people doing their own thing and not what God wants. Of course, i do that kinda thing myself, but not to...
