  • 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

    Mormon Word of Wisdom bans coffee & tea

    If you look at the Kosher laws, many of them make perfect sense to the peoples of that time. Others make no sense at all. First the laws are there because God said so and He does not always explain himself. If you look behind the laws you can see some reason behind them. Don't eat pigs. If...

    Should people have children if they can't afford it?

    In America, the more children you have the more welfare money you get. I am told that this is a possible reason for having many children.

    LDS LDS: Celestial Marriage versus Jesus' Teaching

    It's not. The verses in Matthew say Marry or given in marriage. The Marriage ceremony is an earthly ordinance. The Ordinance is not performed in the heavens but only on Earth. This is the sealing power given to Peter as recorded elsewhere in the New Testament. Thus people who are Married...

    The real jesus

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought that He was resurrected ON the third day rather than AFTER the third day.

    Do past and current LDS leaders knowingly continue a fraud?

    There is a difference between Official Doctrine and Supposition. People, even Prophets have a tendency to Supposition. Are Jesus and Satan brothers? Could be. It is logical that they are. But that is not Official Doctrine.

    Do past and current LDS leaders knowingly continue a fraud?

    You are asking three excellent questions. All three of which have not been revealed. We do have logical supposition: For Satan. We are all children of God, Jesus and Satan included. For the origin of God, we have the suggestion in Abraham and the mention of Kolob. For Jesus' conception we can...

    Do past and current LDS leaders knowingly continue a fraud?

    We are all Children of God (Gal 3:26). Jesus is the Son of God (Jesus's Baptism). Thus we are all Children of God. The concept that He is our Elder Brother is used used frequently at Church but I am not sure it has scriptural backing. Where did He come from, When was His beginning? This has...

    I just did that for another. Now, would you please define Christian and provide Scriptural backing.

    Do past and current LDS leaders knowingly continue a fraud?

    Jesus is the saviour of the world. He is the Son of God and our elder brother. He is God the Son and stands in the Godhead at the right hand of the Father. He was born of Mary, lived 33 years and died on the Cross. He arose on the third day. What else would you like to know?

    What's so bad about the Book of Mormon?

    I don't think that there is or should be an ideal. Culturally, one man and one woman has become the norm. We were all brought up with that norm. I think the decision of what is right or not should be determined at the family level. It seems that SCOTUS agrees with me.

    Family Ties

    I risked this when I joined the Church. Happily my parents said that I was 21 and could do as I wish. Later my father pulled me aside telling me that it was OK but I should not flaunt it or brag about it. Still later we were at my Uncle's house when he insisted that I have a drink since I was...

    Simple question for LDS Members

    Why do I have to take my shoes off a the airport when I have never put a bomb there (or anywhere)? What you are dealing with here is human nature. You are also dealing with profiling which the government insists they do not do (which is a lie) but everybody does every day. If a police officer...

    Book of Mormon on the subj of no Polygamy

    You want an answer? You want an answer? YOU CAN'T HANDLE .... Oops wrong movie, nevermind. In all seriousness, consider: The information you have posted and a lot more is quite available in the public domain. None of this is secret. Scripture is replete with examples of plural wives. The...

    What's so bad about the Book of Mormon?

    Ya know, you are quite funny. You post these verses from Jacob and exclude the verse that refutes what you are trying to "prove". Then when this is pointed out to you you claim that the Prophet Joseph Smith inserted that verse to permit him to have multiple wives. Now, I happen to have a...

    Do past and current LDS leaders knowingly continue a fraud?

    With the Law of Moses we were given the Lesser Priesthood. Under that Law there was one High Priest at a time. Under the higher law the Greater Priesthood was revealed where there are many High Priests. Thus Jesus is A High Priest instead of THE High Priest.
