  • 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

    JW Can a JW explain this to me?

    Yet still, the source of that creative power is not explained, at least by you! The scriptures, when left alone to speak, say the source is the father, regardless of the role the son/word was fulfilling at the point of reference to a particular verse. The bible at no point calls Jesus/the Word...

    JW Can a JW explain this to me?

    So close, but yet so far! If all things were created "through" him, then who was the source? Who was the source acting through Jesus? It seems reasonable to assert that force was none other than the Father as shown in 1Cor. 8:6.

    JW Can a JW explain this to me?

    Lol, since when did firstborn not imply first-created? My firstborn son was the first of my offspring that was created by my wife and I. And, Firstborn of what? Col. 1:15 says OF (not OVER, that's a translation unique to the NIV and maybe a few others) "all CREATION. Jesus here in Col. 1:15 is...

    JW John 1:1

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This English translation makes the "Word" the Same as "the God" whom he is said to be with. Leading to the need to create another meaning for the term Theos. Other English words like "essence" and "being" are...

    JW wealth in new earth

    One thing Daniel and his warped sense of humour seems to overlook is that Satan is not a literal dragon, nor will he be confined in a literal pit with a literal key, nor will a woman be given literal wings to fly into the wilderness, nor will any literal seven headed wild beast do any but become...
