  • 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

    Why

    Not all Islamist attacks are being discussed in the media. If a person mentions an article about violent Islam they are accused of going to a racist, islamophobic site. What? How is it racism to protect your culture, democracy? Have you ever been to Holland Michigan! I have heard that...

    Why

    Please give examples of the diverse ideas. Do those who hold the views think it is a requirement for true faith? Are you accusing the correct entity? God is not a god of confusion. It is human thinking that can and does add confusion into the mix. The cause of diversity is the people, not the...

    Why

    That Scripture interprets Scripture. We are not to bring our own experiences to the table, use multiple passages from the Bible to interpret passages that are confusing, seek consistency, etc. Here is an example - Did Mary remain a Virgin her entire life? Catholics looked outside the Bible...

    Why

    I thought Loammi was Jewish. Why would he care about the Christian canon? I do believe that Jews also do not recognize the Deuterocanonical as Scripture. Which non-Catholic Christians also do. Useful in teaching but not the word of God. The naming of the canon was just a technicality...

    Why

    Sorry you are not getting it. As a person saved by faith, the gift of grace, yes I understand the 2 most important commandments. If you do not have that faith one is not necessarily saved. Works does not equal salvation, but faith without works is dead. P.S. Reconciliation is a part of the...

    Why

    No, I did not say that. We all know the most important commands of Christ. 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great...

    No not all all, simply start a new thread. You are not being honest with yourself.

    Why

    http://www.christianforums.com/threads/why.7954743/page-5 There are many examples. The problem in mentioning them one by one is that the current recipient of the list will merely quote their own verses in order to declare that the Bible IS "perfectly clear". However, to concentrate upon...

    Why

    And if those prepositions are used to define fundamentals that is information from outside the Bible. Give an example. Why can't you tell me the fundamentals some question and which denomination? Are they truly contradictory? It is just your say so with no references. Why would anyone take...

    Why

    So yes it does talk about violence. You bring up a point, a person must be able to float between chapters to get the full picture of Islam. No diversions, but I would like to point out that Islam can never be truthfully discussed without attacking Christianity. The violence in the Bible was...

    Why

    Scripture is a product of God who inspired men. Christ gives us the canon of the Old Testament. Paul after his encounter with Christ gives us the canon of the New Testament. So you are saying that the Quran is a product of Mosque. Except in the case of the Bible criteria had to be met not...

    Another why question ...

    Truthfully back in that day many would consider every marriage a rape since women had little to no say in the matter. But to be a wife means the husband is responsible for her welfare. http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/femalecaptives.htm scroll down to APPENDIX 1: A MUSLIM’S ATTEMPT TO...

    Why

    I have been trying to discover from you which denominations so I could show that the teachings of said denominations have in fact taken information from outside the Bible to formulate their teachings.

    Why

    recap - My mention of the verse re the later verses are the better. You mention that chapter is about the changing of the Qiblih. I say that chapter also mentions content re "mischief in the land" 005.032 On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person -...
