  • 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

    1 Nephi 14 -- Any LDS Official Explanation?

    Dawn, Obviously you know that billions have lived and died...and countless numbers of them have died without ever knowing about a "Christ" let alone actually be taught his gospel. Do you believe your position balances the scales between mercy and justice with respect to those people? How...

    1 Nephi 14 -- Any LDS Official Explanation?

    Dawn, I have to tell you...."before" you were straight forward...clear and articulate in your position. Now..you tend to be abstract...avoiding giving straightforward answers....like you have to be PC or something. Do you believe that one of the "elect" could hear the gospel message for the...

    1 Nephi 14 -- Any LDS Official Explanation?

    Dawn, You know the drill!! You know what my next obvious question would be! What about those people? Back to the scenario I set up....would YOU consider that one conversation around the dinner table talking about the "gospel" his one and only opportunity to accept Christ? The above is...

    1 Nephi 14 -- Any LDS Official Explanation?

    I have a question for you....lets say you have a co-worker who you have gotten close to....and the two of you begin to talk about things that really matter...ie: family/religion. Lets also say...that down the line you share with him your beliefs and witness to him that you believe these things...

    Hi Phoebe, I think Ran77 is just wanting a clear cut answer of what you believe on this. Do you believe "once saved, always saved"? No fair answering a question with a question!

    I would agree that true "conversion" is NOT a "numbers game". However....the scriptures are clear that in the last days...that the Lord's church would be having a fair amount of success in bringing souls unto Christ. It's kinda funny...for every person that slams the LDS church for being...

    LDS Stats 1973-2005

    Show me where the Church has "boasted" about it's growth. To report in General Conference about the successes the church is having...that is boasting? Most times....the leadership finds itself answering questions put to them by the media folks about the reasons for why they believe the church...

    Chris, You state that in the LDS church.."it is either all true...or it is hogwash and unnecessary". Do you NOT believe that the message of OC as you teach and believe to be "all" true? If not..could you share with us some of the things which are false..thus in your words...."hogwash and...

    Guyver and Chris, First...this thread is NOT about why you left the LDS church. At this point...I am not interested in why you left. So..back to my original question..before you two went skipping and strolling down memory lane...."Why" after leaving the church and wanting nothing to do with...

    Hmm.....actually, I was not aware you are a former member of the church. Somehow that little tidbit of info eluded me. However...knowing now that you are a former member...makes your interest in them even more curious....and yes...funny....to me! I guess it falls into that ole "I left the...

    Ok...first off...I don't believe I ever said I "condemned" them did I? Show me where I said that. Secondly....I am not saying I don't "believe" the stats are accurate. Never said anything such thing. My point is...what difference do these stats mean to you? What little kernal of knowledge...

    hahaha! Now I confess...this thread I find absolutely hilarious! hahaha...heck...I am not even interested in reading about the "stats"...and I am LDS! What in the wide wide world of sports do you hope to "find"? Do you hope to find some occultic mathmatical equation that will equal 666...
