  • 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

    The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

    Because there are innocent people within those places that have to shoulder the burden just because everybody else surrounding them has turned away from God. It's always the innocent little guy that gets disadvantaged while the spiritual world battle between good and evil is waged. It's just...

    The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

    What is the "self-authoritarianism" you mean? The Bible has rules and commandments, and Jesus himself says that any mild deviation is lukewarm and therefore, they are not saved at all and might as well have committed the original sin. How are the implications of this not spiritual authoritarianism?

    The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

    At least natural disasters are honest. Nature doesn't discriminate among specific targets, unlike man.

    Why religion cannot make its mind up about nudity

    Apparently sexual desire itself is a sin according to Christians.

    Worried about being a Christian in England

    I would be interested about ideas of people becoming open to Christianity again. It's true that everywhere there is a trend of hostility to Christianity, especially in the West. Sadly, the book specifically says this is inevitable and seems to be predestined. But prayers to the UK and...

    The "God's Plan" Illusion

    I can relate to it. If God is real and if the Bible is reasonably accurate (or if it's how most evangelical Christians interpret it) and we do live in a fallen world, that is horrible and brings debilitating existential angst. Doesn't God ultimately want humanity to join him and let people enjoy...

    The "God's Plan" Illusion

    The answer to a lot of things can come down to "You didn't create the world and it's physics, God did" or "Our ways are not God's ways" which I find nonsensical/frustrating and unsatisfying. It makes God look untouchable and faceless.

    "Satan is the God of this world" and free will

    We are all sinners and slaves to sin. Yeah. But on the flip side of it we can say that to be with the Lord is to be a slave to him, too. I heard people actually use the language sometimes.

    "Satan is the God of this world" and free will

    We are supposed to have free will and God is in control and has a "plan" for people. But Corinthians (I think) also says that Satan is the "God of this world" and thus controls the airwaves and all human institutions. But this is one of the incongruencies that I can't accept well. Why would or...

    Disabled as a man, in late 30's, am I just destined to be single in this life?

    Yeah. That's why I also draw parallels to human governments and religions/God.

    Do you support a balanced budget amendment?

    I would be all for an amendment that allowed emergency deficit spending up to a certain amount.

    Disabled as a man, in late 30's, am I just destined to be single in this life?

    I kind of respect Islam for openly and brutally saying that it is a religion of submission. Just saying.

    Disabled as a man, in late 30's, am I just destined to be single in this life?

    This world operated very differently in the mid-20th century to today. Sometimes using older examples don't apply in today's world.

    Disabled as a man, in late 30's, am I just destined to be single in this life?

    Unfortunately, somebody might come on this thread and twist it into "OP hates women!" like 99% of the rest of the time these threads on the internet are posted. I really feel you on this. Even if there is argument that Matthew 22 and the parallels doesn't mean you won't get a "second chance" in...
