  • 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 we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    I was raised SDA, sent to their schools (Monterey Bay Academy), and left long ago. I can't believe the Saturday sabbath debate continues. Sanctification isn't restricted to the SDA or any other denomination, it is the individual and their relationship with Christ and is an ongoing process for...

    Tithing ?

    We all know the ten percent rule. I have counseled many Christians over the years regarding a variety of issues, money being one. Our society is so much different than during biblical times. Especially for young couples just getting started. Many will say “We just can’t afford to give ten...

    Possibly Narcissistic Friend is driving me INSANE

    You need to love yourself enough to get rid of this person. I suppose the one question I have is why would you allow someone to treat you that way? God Loves you, and this person doesn't. Learn to love yourself and you won't tolerate that kind of treatment. Find a good therapist to help you.

    Im afraid of death.

    I once had the same fear as you. I found a website called Near Death Experiences and began studying them because I'm very skeptical. After much research, I'm convinced that death is nothing to fear, and most who experienced near-death experiences didn't want to return. One of the best books I...

    Is it too late for me to be married?

    You have repented and you must forgive yourself as well. Look at the things King David did and once he repented God called him a man after his own heart. Jesus died for all our sins. If your heart is right, I don't believe he will keep you from finding true love in your life. Whoever wrote that...

    What historical evidence proves the existence of God?

    Check out reasons to believe. Scientists and theology come together. True science screams the existence of a creator and the power of God.

    Are you ready for retirement, financially?

    Hope you don't mind me clipping your post a bit. There is a lot of wisdom in what you said. Some of the most unhappy people in the world are also the wealthiest. An old gentleman many years ago said the key to happiness is not having too much or having too little, I believe there was a great...

    question on alcohol and sin etc

    Let me give you an example, we know many planets are actually millions of light years away. The light we can see from them took millions of years to get to earth. The Catholic church taught that the earth was flat for hundreds of years. They are the ones that gave us the bible we have today...

    Are you ready for retirement, financially?

    I looked at retirement as leaving paid endeavors, but not stop staying busy. I can always find someone that needs a little help. I have developed more hobbies as well. One thing I have found is if one asked God to send opportunities to help others He will, and the blessing that come from that...

    Are you ready for retirement, financially?

    I'm a baby boomer that retired seven years ago, and I'm very fortunate to have a decent retirement. Problem is too many of my generation didn't plan for it and lived beyond their means. I was taught to live on eighty percent of my income, give ten to God and invest ten. I'm so thankful I took...

    question on alcohol and sin etc

    I think most of us find the things Jesus did amazing, ever try walking on water. Well we know the universe took much longer than six days, actually millions of years, that is a scientific fact. If your genius theologian believes in the six day creation he isn't a genius. There are some problems...

    question on alcohol and sin etc

    A bottle of wine will last me a week or more. Never more than a small glass with dinner. Everything in moderation.

    Watering down wine, that sounds terrible to ruin good wine that way.
