  • 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

    Is the bible based on astrology?

    ok, i have just watched the first 30 min. of it. this only confirms my belief in God and furthermore is good news to me because ive been searching for a link between the god of the early egyptians and jesus, and the fact that they are copycat religions and the stars confirm this is cool. this...

    Is god active in our everyday lives?

    How would the two modes differ from one another, from a human point of view? Edit: I mean, what would they look like to us? that's a good question, i have no idea.

    Is god active in our everyday lives?

    to me, to say that god is active would indicate any action on God's part either seen by us or not! im just curious as to wherther God is in watch and wait mode or help us out now mode? or i guess it could be seen as a stupid question like what is god doing right now in our time?

    700 Club

    hey thanks for the link i learned a lot, i guess i was just harping on some of the questionable fundraising tactics and the authenticity of some of the miracles and questioning the whole "law of reciprocity" thing they mention where it says "God obliges himself to financially reward those...

    700 Club

    as long as im not giving just to get something back like it talks about earlier in matthew chapter 6 but they were talking about giving solely on that reason, and that upset me.

    700 Club

    I doubt some of the things i see and hear on the 700 club to be true or of God. example 1: here they are this morning asking for all kinds of money and telling you even if you're broke and give them a little money then God is absolutely gonna bless you with more money, and thats why you...
