  • 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.

    need help!! Scared!!

    Nobody is short of redemption, and you were a todler, you didn't really know much better, especially if you weren't brought up in a Christian home. Just ask Jesus for repentance, and I'm sure it's something that you can repent without even trying. Don't worry about "selling your soul to the...

    What foods can cause depression?

    I don't know any foods that can give you depression, but I know that if a pregnant mother eats one small square of chocolate a day it decreases chances of the baby getting depression at any time in his or her life.

    Water Baptism..A Must?

    So you're saying if we don't know the meaning of a word in our Bible we just skip that verse and then not fully understand God's word? Also, I've realized another point. Romans 4:5 says "But people are declared righteous because of their faith, not because of their work." So does baptism make...

    Are Early Native American (around Jesus time on earth) saved??

    God wants us all to be saved. But he gave us free will so we could choose to love him, not just be mindless robots because there is no real love there. I really think it's sad that people who don't hear the gospel can't go to heaven, but like I said, it all starts with one person turning on or...

    Water Baptism..A Must?

    Webster's definition of baptise means to change through a spiritual ordeal. It mentions nothing of the process of being dunked in water. John the baptist said "I baptise with water but one greater than me is coming who baptises with the Holy Spirit" John the baptist wasn't the one who saved us...

    Gifts

    What do you mean are we searching for our gifts? If you are implying we should expect God to give us all a special talent, I don't think that's right. We shouldn't expect God to give us stuff like that. If God gives us a gift that he wants us to use he will reveal it to us, we shouldn't have to...

    Are Early Native American (around Jesus time on earth) saved??

    I'm sorry Lara, I didn't mean to offend you and I didn't think I would be. But I wasn't implying that God wanted them to perish, I know that God doesn't want anyone to perish. But I forgot to add in something that I've always been upset about. When someone turns on God, their ancestors don't...

    Are Early Native American (around Jesus time on earth) saved??

    The Message is quite a different version from what I read, but it conveys a similar point. Yes they are following God's law written in them, but nobody is perfect. In the same book of Romans Paul writes, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) so therefore they...

    Gossip! Help!!!!!!!!

    That stinks, the parents in my town gossip just as much of the kids. I would tell you a story about it, but it's too long so I'll just tell you the outcome. A ton of kids parents have told their kids not to hang our with me because of the gossip

    Are Early Native American (around Jesus time on earth) saved??

    The Early Native Americans worshiped their own false gods. Some scientist (I think he is a Christian, but I'm not sure) proved that all the Native American tribes were started by no more than 20 people migrating over the land bridge between Russia and Alaska (this same scientist also proved that...

    Enocks 10 weeks of world timeline.

    Ok, Vincejohn, I've been quiet about this as long as I can, but this has really been bothering me. You keep posting stuff from/about the book of enoch, and it makes me kinda mad. Because like there is only one God, there is only one holy book, the Bible. The Bible is God's instructions he gave...

    Husband's friends

    I agree with washed clean, you should try to witness to these people somehow. It's not going to be easy, and it may not be succesful, but why lose friends when you can bring them to heaven? It's worth a shot. If you aren't sure how to witness to them, ask a pastor for advice or something.

    Helping a friend

    I witnessed to my friend who wasn't brought up in a Christian home, and she was going through a hard time and I told her how God helped me get through the hardest time(s) of my life. And started witnessing to her. She had that same problem, she wanted to believe, she tried to see, but it was...

    Women Teaching Men, a question

    Pride is probably part of the reason, every guy has that want inside to dominate over woman because he feels that he needs to be the alfa-male and protect the females, therefore often thinking of himself better than women. I think it is wrong to think that us men can't learn from women, because...

    Are you capable of doing this?

    Do you think that maybe those verses about staying away from sexually immoral people meant staying away from prostitutes and strippers and not people who have premarital sex?
