  • 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

    World of Warcraft Players here?

    I used too, but not anymore. Heck, I rarely have time to play video games (I do so for a little while over the weekend). With school, homework, taking care of my dog, cooking, and shopping, I don't have time.

    What About the Ark of the Old Covenant???

    Try Protestantism. Protestantism are full of man-made traditions and percepts of men. Is what Protestants been during since the 16th century (i.e., separating from each other and started their own churches with man-made traditions and practices while trying to mimic Ancient Christianity)...

    John Sandinopoulous revisits the "Rapture"

    Lord, have mercy, Indeed! Mr. Camping is now changing his story. He said that Judgement Day did occured on May 21st, but only that it was "spiritual" and not "physical" (whatever that means and a total contradiction on what he said earlier). He now say that the end of the world will come...

    Lenten food thread

    Anyone here follows the Primal Blueprint/Paleo lifestyle while still keeping with the Lenten Fast? It so dreadful (lol) for us.

    Council of Carthage/Cannon

    Sorry. I misunderstood what you meant before. Yes, you are right. It is a heretical gospel account. In IC.XC.,

    Council of Carthage/Cannon

    Why? They can also be back up with Holy Scriptures. For instance, that Mary is rightly called "Theotokos" (God-bearer, or Mother of God) is supported by Luke 1:42. But then again, all Marian teachings are part of Holy Tradition. Holy Scriptures is also part of Holy Tradition. In IC.XC.,

    So many bibles! Which one to believe?

    I will generally agree. Although I regard the disputed books as canonical Holy Scriptures (along with few others), I am in agreement that nothing in these books adds any significant knowledge to any books all Christians accept as "Holy Scriptures". I don't think it's a major matter, although...
