  • 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

    Why not pray for a million dollars?

    Prayer is communication. It is called prayer because it isn't just any form of communication but a form of worship that is done by a human to his Creator. There are a lot of reasons to pray. To ask for guidance in life, to ask for wisdom to questions, to find comfort and reassurance, to draw...

    Why not pray for a million dollars?

    1 John 5:14 says we can have the confidence that no matter what we ask according to his will he will hear us. If it was God's will that you had a million dollars you will get it. If that isn't his will you won't. And that really isn't God's will is it?

    God’s secret concerning the allotted joint-heirship of the image: the creation, call, and mission of the corporate one New Man; Exposition Eph.1:3-14.

    My mind immediately went to Romans 8 when you said to think of the context. If you study it you can come away with the fact that this really is referring to humankind and not in God's creation in a broader sense: "For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but through the...

    God’s secret concerning the allotted joint-heirship of the image: the creation, call, and mission of the corporate one New Man; Exposition Eph.1:3-14.

    I don't know if you wrote this or copy-pasted it. I click a couple of the links and they don't go anywhere. Early in the OP it states: "We also have another link to the creation account of Genesis, in Eph.1:4 “before the disruption of the order”[8] (cosmos)." The word used in Ephesians 1:4 is...

    What is Christian Philosophy and for what purpose does it serve?

    The term "Christian Philosophy" is an oxymoron. Philosophy has no place in worship to God. In fact the Christian Scriptures call philosophy "empty deception:" "Look out that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy and empty deception according to human tradition, according to the...

    Are Satan and the Devil the same entity?

    You are correct about the name of Satan. I mixed them up. Satan means Accuser, Devil means Liar or Slanderer.

    Exposition of Eph.1:3-14; The call and mission of the One New Man. (edited) with new added scriptural support. With new notes on chosen, and purpose

    The called and chosen are God's elect (the words Messiah, Christ, and anointed also mean chosen). Ephesians 1 is talking to those whom have been anointed with holy spirit. It is not talking to the world of humankind in general. You are correct that God is calling to everyone everywhere to...

    French Priests to Carry ID Cards to Show Whether They Are Sex Offenders

    No. I haven't figured that much out yet. Thank you for letting me know. I have been looking at the new topics. I should notice what forum they are posted in. I mean no disrespect to Catholics in posting God's word though. If this forum is only for other Catholics to post in I apologize and ask...

    French Priests to Carry ID Cards to Show Whether They Are Sex Offenders

    I had a workmate once who was talking to me about the problem of homosexuality and child sex abuse in the clergy of the RCC. I told him that the Bible foretold it and even told us why it would happen. He said he didn't believe it and I shared with him a couple of scriptures from the KJV that...

    Are Satan and the Devil the same entity?

    Greetings dms 1972. The word Satan means Slanderer. And Devil means liar. In the Bible the spirit entity known as Satan the Devil is only named "Satan" a couple of places. Genesis 3 never names the spirit behind the snake as Satan. But Revelation 12:9 does reveal this: "So down the great dragon...

    Natan’s Dream of Zech.14 War, Mt. of Olives Splitting in Two, Destruction of Antichrist’s Armies

    Tribulation Signs. I am new here so am reading through recent threads as a place to start. I want to share something with you: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a clanging gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and...

    Oral Tradition Is Not Corrupted Over Time

    What is the point? We have the Holy Scriptures contained in the Bible. It stands complete from God for "every good work" so that the man of God is "completely equipped:" "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining...

    Can God stop you from being with someone ?

    God gives Christians a wide range of freedom among those in choosing our marriage partner. The only command to a Christian is to "marry only in the Lord."-1 Corinthians 7:39. God gives us his word and his holy spirit when we ask him of it to give us wisdom as we read in it. And he will give us...

    Interesting study. Thank you for the read. Just to add what I could find off hand: Pilate

    Irreverent Babble

    It means not to argue with people over the word. Jesus didn't argue when he preached the kingdom message. His followers are not to argue with people about the gospel message they spread. And they certainly don't have to answer foolish and ignorant questions knowing they are made to produce...
