  • 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

    Question about Heaven and Hell

    First, I am so glad that you found a church you like. Praise God. Just to get back to the question, however, I thought maybe some verses that show the eternity of punishment in hell (the lake of fire) might be in order. Mark 9 47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is...

    what is your scriptual basis for falling in the Spirit

    The most significant day in my Christian walk was the day I was filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke in other tongues for the first time and was slain in the Spirit. From that day forward I have had a passion for the lost, have won hundreds to Christ, have prayed for and seen miracles, walk in...

    what proof

    If you are truly serious about researching the subject, here is a start on all the prophecies spoken by Christ 2000 years ago that are coming true all around us: http://www.parentalguide.com/Documents/Bible_Desk/proof_bible_true.htm

    Israel? Chosen People?

    "Semitic" people are descendants of Shem (Noah's son). "Israelites" are descendants of Jacob/Israel. "Jews" were technically descendants of Judah that lived in Judea (Judah), although the term has come to include all Israelites. Same as Christians not being married to non-Christians...

    Does speaking in "tongues" make you more spiritual?

    I have studied tongues for most of my life and I have never heard this. I have heard people THEORIZE that this could happen, but I have never heard that it actually happened. I would need more evidence of this. Anyway, on topic, being baptized in the Holy Spirit and having the gift of tongues...

    African Exorcisms and killing of Children in the name of God.

    That's why God gave us the Bible to sort out those voices: Jeremiah 32 30 "The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth; indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but provoke me with what their hands have made, declares the LORD. 31 From the day it...

    Bilble can be Very, very wrong.

    After learning Koine (Biblical) Greek and reading the New Testament in that, the biggest problems I see in English translations are the following: 1. The existence/place of Sheol/Hades in the universe. Because the original King James used Hell (temporary) and Lake of Fire (permanent) and then...

    Am i goin to hell?

    I've found an easy definition for sin: Anything that hurts yourself or another person. Those are the things God wrote down for us to be aware of because we are usually not wise enough to see the consequences of our actions ahead of time. Not believing in God will hurt both you and him when...

    help me!

    We live in a 3-space 1-time dimension. But God also created the 4-space 0-time dimension that exists in the event horizon of a black hole. Run that one through your brain. He created the fact that time slows down as you approach the speed of light. Thinking about those things helps me to...

    How Do You Know If You Know God?

    Also, if you haven't accepted Jesus into your heart, that's a good place to start with the ABC's: Admit that you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus died for you. Confess with your mouth that you accept his forgiveness. Find a good local church where you fit in. This may take a few weeks...

    Swearing Mini-skirts and other Christian conservatisms

    I agree that some situations cause us to say those words that are alternatives to swearing. But it causes me to agonize over it and realize that the person in the other car is a human being loved by God and (because I believe in Adam and Eve instead of evolution) my distant relative. Since he...

    Matt. 12:22-32; Mark 3:22-30; and Luke 12:10

    All I can say is that if you see another denomination doing something you don't agree with, such as speaking in tongues, be careful not to attribute it to demonic activity. I have heard many do this and I fear for their souls because of the placement of this passage being directly after the...

    Do you believe that atheists are evil?

    Perhaps they were thinking of these verses: Psalm 10:4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. Psalm 14:1 [ For the director of music. Of David. ] The fool [ The Hebrew words rendered fool in Psalms denote one who is morally deficient. ]...

    Levitical Law

    Homosexuality is considered throughout scripture to be sinful and detestable to God, regardless of how popular it is, how many governments come out in favor of it, etc. It is sin and I wouldn't want to stand before God having been one my whole life. Do I think that homosexuals should be...
