  • 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

    People influence, emotionally impact, and offend each other. The "Sin Nature". The Bible describes this fallen nature in much detail. Once Born again or Regenerated we go through a Sanctification process to reach a goal of righteous living or being Christ-like. We struggle with certain...

    I would not say "disrespecting" but rather putting a man in an awkward position. It doesn't take much for a man to be visually stimulated If I'm required to sit in a business meeting next to a woman dress like a prostitute or half-naked it's hard to concentrate on the business at hand. Some...

    'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled by UPN

    It was canceled because of the jumpsuit uniforms and dark small colorless bridge. Not enough blinking lights.^_^

    Interesting that the word "disease "was used in the comment. During the 14th century bubonic plague-called the "Black Death"spread through Europe and Asia- "The Jews instituted a cleanup movement in Strassburg. according to Old Testament commands. Those insignificant rules of hygiene. All...

    Such a Big God! and loving God. He not only controls the universe or the big things but concern about the little things, human interaction and relationship. He is not worried about anything and does care about how we dress, what we eat, think, act, etc. Thats why He is called Father. The...

    Women's Clothing Distracting Men from prayer

    True...I've been to both types..some allowing and some not allowing casual dress and both critical of the other. NT teaches modesty possibly for the reason that dress does affect people one way or another. We communicate and influence by non-verbal ways like dress. If we look like a prostitute...

    Women's Clothing Distracting Men from prayer

    Most Protestant churches today seem to allow a more relax or informal style of dress. This includes the blue jeans and shorts for some. I love the idea of showing up in short pants and sandals with a sporty Hawaiian shirt. Some churches don't mind this at all. I dress down on Wednesday or...

    Women's Clothing Distracting Men from prayer

    Most people pray with their eyes closed. It shouldn't be a problem. My wife will pinch me hard (with the fingernails)if I looked at a beautiful women longer then 1 or 2 seconds. At the mall, I turn my head away while walking by Victoria Secret. Not out of fear of the pinch but out of respect for...

    Senate Probes Televangelists' Finances

    The Prosperity message uses the Biblical concepts of "giving and it shall be given unto you", along with many valid Scriptural references that God will bless the charitable person specifically giving for the Gospel message. I agree with this concept in dealing with a personal loving God as we...

    Senate Probes Televangelists' Finances

    It would be great if that didn't matter to the congregation. Unfortunately, today people care how the Pastor looks, drives and what kind of house he lives in. A little different with the earlier church. Paul must have left his golden chariot at his summer house in Tarsus while on his missionary...

    Senate Probes Televangelists' Finances

    They speak at women conferences, church meetings and other gatherings along with writing books. A local church pastor has a building with the same people every week. These traveling evangelists minister in different places basically doing the same thing. This investigation, I think, is based on...

    Senate Probes Televangelists' Finances

    Interesting. The tax-exempt status seems to be in question. Sometimes I feel we as a church should just pay the tax and then we wouldn't have to worry about government pressure and more freedom on what we say in the pulpit. These ministers have dedicated their life to preaching the Gospel and...

    Should Christians Read Harry Potter?

    The Bible is very clear on witchcraft....It is detestable to God. The question: Is it wrong to be entertained by it while not practicing or accepting it even in a fictional setting? Probably not. However I do watch a lot of Sci-fi movies and TV shows. I do screen some for this kind of content...
