  • 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

    Muslims taking over sections of England, their christian patriots show on video the abuses

    Even if all this is true, people shouldn't worry for two reasons: 1) God is sovereign, so eventually everything will work out for the best. The good will be rewarded and evil punished. 2) Our job is to keep our thoughts on the future, the afterlife, and not worry incessantly about the present...

    Christus Victor - an unconvincing PoV?

    Jesus took our place, according to CV. But the very act of taking our place overcame death and sin?

    Christus Victor - an unconvincing PoV?

    Shalom, I am familiar with penal substitution and EO view of the incarnation. But Christus Victor is unconvincing, perhaps even confusing. Doesn't this idea make Jesus look like a cunning lawyer sneaking one past Satan? Not attacking this view, but that's how many people may feel. Hope the...

    Penal Substitution

    Shalom, Some people say penal substitution is a childish way of looking at the incarnation of the Word. They say this theory was appealing back when brutal punishments were common even for petty crimes. But for the modern mind, other theories (like Russian orthodox view) may be better. What...

    Muslims will hear the good news if that good news is spread through good deeds (like mother Teresa or st Francis did), not through intimidation.

    Jesus healing lepers

    Shalom, Consider Jesus healing lepers ... we find this often in the Bible. Isn't there a deeper meaning to this? Leprosy was considered incurable at that time, and lepers a lost cause. Yet Jesus healed them as if suggesting that even the most hopeless had hope in God. So basically what this...

    “Please help us!… It is… very hard to live day-to-day as a woman” says 16 year old Bibi Wilhailm

    The problem with this approach is that another person may make a video saying the exact opposite. So policy decisions should be based on this video or a thousand other videos floating on YouTube?

    “Please help us!… It is… very hard to live day-to-day as a woman” says 16 year old Bibi Wilhailm

    The person in the video is sixteen, policy decisions are not made based on videos of clumsy teenagers and their incoherent thoughts.

    End times?

    It's not about the magnitude alone. It is about the nations involved. No one would have expected syria to be the center a few decades ago. They would have thought of some powerful nuclear armed country. Yet it is tiny syria that's at the center of this worldwide conflict.

    End times?

    What's happening in syria is a political crisis, so I thought I could get to know Catholic POV.
