  • 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

    sunday law may happen after all

    The problem here is that most people still are under the misapprehension that history repeats itself. Because after all people keep repeating that misquotation of Karl Marx. But of course history does not repeat itself, no more Ganghas Khan conquering people or even Adolf Hilters. To be sure...

    Just a couple of questions?

    Why say what has been said before? If you can't read a few pages of material then there is little you can understand anyway. There is nothing so simple that it can be defined simply. Let's try it : God is love that is the definition of God Reply so does that mean that God is the sexual act...

    Why Does The Latter Rain Enrage The Church And The Nominal Adventists?

    No I know where you are going, it is rather like those who believe in baptism for the dead or the secret rapture etc.. They can produce a logic for their position they can tie things from this verse to that verse. That however is not exegesis and that is the point. The history of this latter...

    Why Does The Latter Rain Enrage The Church And The Nominal Adventists?

    Exegesis is reading a passage for the meaning of the text, Eisegesis is reading your intended meaning into the text. Your questions indicate you are practicing Eisegesis.

    Why Does The Latter Rain Enrage The Church And The Nominal Adventists?

    Hosea 6:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” 7 Be patient, then, brothers...

    Why Does The Latter Rain Enrage The Church And The Nominal Adventists?

    The idea of the latter rain is based upon a fiction of the Pentecostal church. It is not a Biblical idea at all. See the article The Latter Rain

    Progressive Adventist

    It used to be that Progressive Adventist was a description of theological issues and they encompassed libertarian, conservative, moderate and liberal/progressive political views. Unfortunately the wide tent has been lost due to certain websites which have taken Progressive Adventist to mean...

    The 'Johannine Comma', does it belong in the Bible?

    Good point about the arians, if they had had the verse in question the Arian controversy would never have occurred. Someone trying to use it some 300 years after the Arian controversy is not very substantial evidence. But the real question is what do the manuscripts say.

    The 'Johannine Comma', does it belong in the Bible?

    Very little chance that was written by Jerome, it appears to be a forgery See the wikipedia article Comma Johanneum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Is Desmond Ford Dead!!!

    You just keep digging yourself deeper showing you don't know what you are talking about: "Preterism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets prophecies of the Bible, especially Daniel and Revelation, as events which have already happened in the first century A.D" His view of the...

    Is Desmond Ford Dead!!!

    So you don't really know anything about Ford do you, he is not a preterist. And there is no sactuary in heaven or earth that was cleansed in 1844! Learn about what you decry, it might make you a little believable.

    Is Desmond Ford Dead!!!

    NO you said: If you think that was his contribution, not the many books and the years of training and I bet you can't name one doctrine that is erroneous that he taught. I don't agree with his views, such as forensic justification but that is hardly called an erroneous doctrine Eschatology...
