  • 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

    Dear White People

    Racism is not "a fact", it's a scapegoat, a cop out - it's a word assigned to those who abandon reason and lash out in hatred. It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the nature of the gripe. For instance, if I get into a spat with a co-worker and it ends in name calling - it...

    What Should Trump Do First?

    If he is smart (and he is) he will take measures to put people to work, i.e., jobs, tax breaks that stimulate business and industry, etc.

    I can lose my salavation?

    That's like asking, Can you enter the kingdom of God and then come and go at will? And the answer is, No. It doesn't work that way. To be "saved" is death to the old you, and life to the new you. You cannot go back.

    Seriously, Does Anyone Care About This?

    No...you are right. That just shows how bad things have come with the establishment and their media - it's the tail waging the dog. Instead of the media reporting the news...they think they are the news.

    One will be left the other taken...

    This, as all things (Mark 4:11), is a parable...the manifestation of things. This tells of the fate of the natural body and of the spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:44), the natural is passing away, and the spiritual is raised up, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt...

    Satan is defeated or not?

    This is a biblical confirmation of the [scientific] truth that "time is an illusion" (Einstein). If we look only to the worldly timetable, then what is said of us being crucified and raised up with Christ in past tense, is a lie from God. Thus, the past tense understanding is true...and yet...

    Salvation: Theosis, Assurance of Salvation, Once Saved Always Saved, Predestination?

    I was not "arguing against Traditions" or "Traditional Theology." I was answering the OP question (What is my perspective?): I say again, "one is only "saved" if they are "changed." And if changed, then saved, a new creation - and therefore forever saved."

    Trump & The End Times

    Not from a super power...but maybe from the peanut gallery. So, nuclear? Maybe. But proliferation? No.

    To Make Heaven

    You misunderstand. Heaven is being born again. This is the new heaven and the new earth, wherein you must be a new creation - and if new, then you leave the old behind. The old you is passing away.

    If "God is love", what about God's more violent actions?

    We misunderstand. Living in the world where all language was confused, where being alive we are as dead, seemingly being free we are said to be captives, and being created we are...well...like not even begotten, but actually made up, imagined. So...from our perspective, we are like cartoon...

    When did the early fathers begin to go askew?

    If we take God at his word, he knows what "soon" means to us...and it was to us that he was speaking. So, no, it is "evasive" to sidestep the obvious, and not come to terms with just what Christ said to the churches: He said "soon"...and meant it.

    When did the early fathers begin to go askew?

    The evidence is history. Who has taught that Christ returned "soon" or "quickly", just as He said?
