  • 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

    I have come here mainly seeking knowledge.

    I would like to suggest that the most important thing you need to know about Scripture is to be found in Gen 1:26 f - "let Us make humanity in our image and after our likeness ..." All of Scripture from Gen 1:1 to Rev 22:21 revolves around this single verse, as it is God's stated intent...

    Being Human

    I've been a Christian since I was 15, and have always sought to understand my faith. One thing I have learned over the years is that any relationship I have with my Lord Jesus isn't based on what I know, it's based on what He has done - therefore, I can be wrong. I teach at my church and my...
