  • 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

    should lucifer and judas be forgiven ?

    Absolutely. They are created by God and He forgives and calls us to also. A change, repentance must be a part of the reconciliation process. This isn't a ' gee I am sorry, ' but genuine change of heart and a new understanding in learning from the damage caused by rebellion. In essence, this is...

    Matthew 25:46 And Everlasting Punishment

    Grace is a free gift as well, and because God is full of Grace, there is no deadline. However recompense is accomplished, it is not as clear as any of us might like, or might like to spin it. There are a lot of grey areas. But one thing is for sure, God ' is not willing any perish' . ..but is...

    Patristic -Universalism

    Some of the greatest Patristic Christian leaders were supporters of ancient universalism. Not the modern form that is taught by many cults. I recommend a new book for those interested in the topic.. Patristic Universalism

    So... God ALLOWS you to choose to be tortured forever?

    The passages that warn to hate parents, are never taken literally. Human reason understands the hyperbolic nature of this passage. However, people lose some sense of reason while reading other passages like Matt 25:46. In my opinion, the reason it is so easily acceptable is it makes people feel...

    war on baptist theology

    What you just described is reformed theology as in 5 point Calvinism. Not necessarily Baptist, as there is a various baptist. Free will Baptist would disagree with the reformed baptist, and Southern Baptist would disagree with both. My suggestion is to ignore theology and just stick with the...

    Good info. Sulfur is also a healing element, used today in antibiotics. The theme of fire, and sulfur denote transforming what is diseased into life and good health.

    Who really goes to the eternal fire ?

    New Living Translation (©2007) I have sworn by my own name; I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word: Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess allegiance to me." English Standard Version (©2001) By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in...

    Who really goes to the eternal fire ?

    " Everyone will confess allegiance to me." Isa 45:23 Confessing allegiance according to the Hebrew usage and language is a repentance of a changed heart. All accomplished by a promise by the Lord Himself. :clap:Food for thought: If there was one city that more than any other...

    Who really goes to the eternal fire ?

    Thank you for your reply. I can understand why you would come to this conclusion from passages in the bible. Have you considered other passages that also indicate the completed victory of Christ sacrifice ? Specifically that every knee will bow and will confess allegiance , To the Lamb of...

    Are you of the opinion that the wicked are done away with, without any hope that they will turn away from wickedness ?

    Open Theism

    I haven't gotten that far into it, but I can see how it is helpful for those who question. " Why did God allow for certain tragic events ?". The simple is answer is most overlooked. Perhaps, open theism makes it more complicated than need be.

    I think that is a fair assessment. :)
