  • 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.

    House Church Ideas

    You are absolutely correct that we need to be careful, the idea is that we are splitting up and choosing churches that we can fit into, and become a part of the community within, so that we can help people do exactly what you stated in your first paragraph. Thanks for the thoughts!

    House Church Ideas

    The question you are asking makes it seem like people who aren't 'churched' are more important than people who are churched. But I've found that people who are churched don't know God just as much as people who aren't. The other question it looks like you are asking is: Is it more loving to...

    Woman Pastor

    Many many people overlook the fact that the verses quoted to discourage women pastoring actually refer to 'Husband and Wife' not a woman having leadership over any man. But beside that I think we fail to take a serious look at this issue and claim directly that scripture says it's wrong...

    What is "citizenship in heaven"?

    Neither, The Kingdom can't be thought of in terms of physical area, or placement. The Kingdom is rather anywhere God is moving and active in people. Remember Jesus says: Luke 17:20-21 Ephesians (2:5-6) states that we are already in Heaven, spiritually, as does Hebrews (12:22). So I would...

    House Church Ideas

    So recently my house church stopped meeting on Sundays, we decided to make that time so we can go out into the different churches that are already established in our area and minister to the people we meet in them. This recent shift in our focus has to do with where we see the people in the...

    Whats the possibility?

    But that doesn't make it okay in God's eyes, and it also doesn't remove the serious Relational problems that come out of being joined with someone, yet not married. Just because the world says it's alright, doesn't mean it's going to be good for you, or your relationships.

    What is "citizenship in heaven"?

    I always go back to the Lord's prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." When I read these words and I remember Jesus saying things like "If I cast out a demon has not the kingdom of God come upon you?"(Para Matt 12:28) I get the picture that we establish...

    Quiz to see how green you are

    Mine came up with 2.3, although there weren't even options for things like not even owning a car.. I think for me, it would be better if the system didn't already put us at a disadvantage.

    what if im the only person

    I have pondered this question when I first began to do a bit if Philosophy. In all reality this line of thinking comes down to the statement, "Reality is what you perceive it to be." Perception of your environment defines what you believe is real. When one asks are other people real? They...

    the emerging church...

    What I'm relaying is an idea that if you are going to a church and they are not building up each member to be able to fulfill God's calling for their life then they are in fact not really operating as a church. So all I see from a 'missional' church is an attempt to function like a real body...

    The Only Way To Eternal Salvation

    yes the Bible contains prophecies, and points toward Jesus in many places, no the Bible is not 'all about Jesus' The bible is specifically about having a relationship with the one true God. The out of John is precisely what I'm saying. If you teach the bible is the way to understanding you...
