  • 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

    Origins of the Secret Pre-trib Rapture

    Margaret McDonald and John Darby were not the first to preach about a pre-Tribulation Rapture . A sermon dating somewhere between 565 and 627 by Ephrem of Nisibis who was a Syrian church father wrote a sermon called "Sermon on the End of the World" a good 1,100 years before John Darby saw the...

    Crocheting?

    I love to crochet, I learnt a lot of years ago. At the moment I am learning to turn knitting patterns into crochet, which really suits me as I find crocheting a garment to be much quicker than knitting.
