  • 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.

    When is infinite suffering a just punishment?

The only place that's left when someone refuses God. God doesn't necessarily eternally punish; but does not allow them access to Heaven. It's by...

    ‘Disqualified’ Pastor Ted Haggard Starting New Church

    While I think that it's a bad idea, I can only hope and pray that Haggard is truly reformed and that he can use this, um, trial of his life to minister to people who would otherwise not be ministered to. I don't know if he can/should populate a mainstream church, but again, I pray that if his...

    Lutheran Church Embraces Homosexuality

    It's probably been covered somewhere in these 89 pages, but my two cents. Everyone in the church leadership is a sinner. The end.

    How often did early church meet?

    I honestly have no idea where it says to meet once a week in the Bible. You seem largely opposed to it, mostly because you find it to be a profit machine and not a platform for sharing the faith. Otherwise I go because it starts my week off right and I enjoy the fellowship... I go for selfish...

    Is it Gods will for some believers to never marry?

    It is God's will for us to be social beings, so that through our relationships, we may further the Kingdom. The apostles did not marry, but I have read no indication that they wanted to. Marriage is His will if, again, the relationship furthers the Kingdom. Technically it's our will, our...
