  • 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

    New World Order Bible Versions

    I highly suggest checking out the video below. Take it for what it's worth. I don't plan on starting a debate on here so don't expect replies in this thread. I just wanted to share a valuable resource. New World Order Bible Versions.

    What do you think of Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches?

    The KJB never treated the apocrypha as God's word. It was put in between the 2 testaments as helpful material. Just like the 1611, which I have a reproduction of, contains notes from the translators on the edges of the page.

    What do you think of Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches?

    I believe God has preserved his perfect word for us today. In English it is contained in the King James Bible. I believe you can be saved from other translations. I used the NIV when I first was saved. I know many people that believe the King James Bible is without error but have yet to meet one...

    Exodus Int'l closing its doors and apologizes

    God has the power to lead homosexuals from their sinful lifestyles. To allow homosexuals to live in their sin is a very unloving thing to do. No one would think it is OK to allow a little child to play in a busy street but yet they allow and sometimes encourage homosexuals to live in a lifestyle...

    Do you agree?

    Unless a person trusts in Jesus alone for salvation they are going to live in eternal punishment. If they are putting their trust in works they are going to live in eternal punishment.

    KJV Only

    It's hard to explain in a forum and it would probably just end up in a debate with others. I'll just give you a link that will answer your question. Feel free to message me if you need more information. I'm not sure if I'll check back on this specific thread.

    Baptist churches/Bible versions

    It really depends on the church. My church only uses the KJV. I believe that is the version without error in English. Others Baptist churches use the NKJV, NIV, ESV, NASB and etc.

    Considering moving away from the Baptist title..

    I never heard of a Baptist anywhere that doesn't allow other instruments to be played. Even the most conservative Baptist churches I know of allow for instruments such as the flute, trumpet and violin. As for drinking you really need to examine your heart. Do you care if you cause someone else...

    Reading the Bible

    Make sure you pray before and after reading the Bible. Pray for understanding and God's leading. I would start with John, then Genesis and then Acts. Eventually I would recommend you read through the entire Bible. Also, I would recommend reading a chapter a day from Proverbs for the rest of your...

    Phelps family

    They have nothing to do with your average fundamental church. Their fruit is hate and seem more concerned about making the news than making disciples. If you think we are like them you have a lot to learn. :)

    "Stuff Fundies Like" (a Website)

    It is insulting and very unchristian.

    Doctrinal proof from the Word of God proving that salvation is by grace alone

    Billy Graham website admits scrubbing ‘Mormons’ from ‘cult’ list

    Correct. My wife and I are voting for a 3rd option. Not only is Romney a devoted cult member but he's also a moral liberal when it comes to his politics. Just looks at his past statements and the state he governed. It is sad Christians are so easily fooled into just voting republican, thinking...
