  • 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

    Does power corrupt?

    In our language, the word "power" can have a few different meanings. In the "physics" sense, it means something along the lines of useable energy. In the political sense, it has more of an authority/control kind of meaning. I believe that the person making that original quote was not thinking...

    Why Does The Devil Try to Tempt Believers?

    I don't know how much scripture this is based on, but my opinion is that Satan doesn't give a rip about us, whether we're hurt or not. I believe that what he wants is to hurt the heart of God by trying to hurt us.

    Asking for prayer

    A few years ago I was going through some severe anxiety to the extent of having severe burning in my stomach and bloody stools. The burning was causing me to double over in pain, and the blood scared the junk out of me. I don't know if there's a lot of stress in your life, but that was the...

    God is in Control

    My question in response would be, "what does 'dominion' really mean?" Did God, as King, turn over his authority as King to Adam and Eve, and thus, in a sense, abdicate? Or, did He, more similar to the President with a cabinet, give them authority as the President gives the Secretary of...

    WOF - Non WOF Problem

    I believe that the only way to solve any problems between the two camps would be for God to give us all perfect knowledge of what is true and not true, and to remove from us any remains of sin in our lives so that we could all perfectly love each other. But until then, I think the next best...

    WOF - Non WOF Problem

    I like things just the way they are. Each subforum allows for in-house discussions without outside interference. The debate subforum keeps much of the garbage out of the main forum. I normally choose not to delve into the debate subforum, which keeps my head pretty sane. And the main forum...

    What's in a name?

    In some cases perhaps people just want to divide. But I think that the fundamental reason why we give ourselves names is so that we can claim some kind of identity.

    A valid baptism....

    If I were in your shoes going through what you're going through, I wouldn't pay any mind to whether or not my baptism was "valid". The New Testament gives two "formulas" for baptizing: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"; "In the name of Jesus". Christ...

    Christianity is very confusing ... almost to the point of being divergent

    A long time ago we sinned. Sin had a lot of terrible consequences. Until Christ returns we will be living with those consequences. Fortunately, in the mean time, God can take something meant for evil and turn it into something good.

    Civility and Tolerance in the Age of Obama

    You're absolutely right. People would rather not hear things that make them uncomfortable and make the people saying them stop, rather than just not pay attention. Free speech goes both ways.

    Civility and Tolerance in the Age of Obama

    See my signature. It definitely applies to both sides. If the Left doesn't like what the Right is saying, then don't listen. Branding us with emotionally charged labels in order to silence us is far more dangerous than people taking a stand for liberty. On the flip side, the Right needs to...

    2012 a different approach

    Or, just be prepared to die at any second, and whatever will or won't happen in 2012 will be a moot point.

    Anyone Going To A Tea Party Today?

    One thing I think this country needs right now is some public reading of Thomas Jefferson. On another note, to go along with what the.Sheepdog said, every military member takes an oath both to support and defend the Constitution, as well as to obey the orders of the president. But what if the...

    What if....

    I wonder if the rest of the US might consider it a blessing... Na, just kidding... or am I?...
