  • 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

    How will god punish people for lying about climate changes?

    Trying to persuade people who fundamentally dismiss science when it does not conform to their previously constructed world view is the road to nowhere. Some of these are the same people who think we should be currently going to basketball games with 20,000 friends and hanging out in crowded...

    Good idea. Might need to wait a few weeks or months, though, because our state is locked down right now.

    Aha! Didn't think that would get that particular doctrinal conversation going--sorry. That said, I was baptized as an adult in the Church of Christ.

    Hey, folks. New member here, lifelong Christian. Have had pretty severe mental health issues for decades with multiple very long hospitalizations. Anyhow, since my last really massive hospital stay, I have not been regularly attending church. My faith today remains stronger than it has ever...
