  • 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

    Laziness is a disease

    Do forgive me if I've offended you. I guess there is still this disparity between our cultures, hence my sweeping generalization. In my country, we are blessed with material prosperity and general peace and stability. Teens nowadays simply live off their parents and are living like pampered...

    rings

    Ours have "S.D.G" engraved, followed by our first names and our wedding date. SDG stands for "Soli Deo Gloria". =)

    Laziness is a disease

    Neither would I, depending on how one defines "hanging out" with friends. I believe you're still a student? I guess when you start going out into the real world and make a living, when you have busy schedules to keep, when you have household chores to attend to, young children to feed...

    Catholics & Protestants....tell what you love about each other....

    There are many things that I appreciate about Roman Catholicism - 1) Its unbroken historical thread from the time of Christ and his founding of the church to this very day 2) Its visible unity to the world at large, unlike us protestants with numerous splintering factions and contradictions...

    Fundamentalism and Roman Catholicism

    For by grace are we saved through faith and not of ourselves. Not of works, lest any man should boast. But a faith without works is dead. And faith worketh by love. That is precisely what the Catholic Church teaches. With the slight emphasis on the working out of our salvation. Sigh...

    King James Version of the Bible

    Perhaps let's just rephrased my statement. Perhaps he was part of those churches who believed the KJV is THE MOST accurate English version and the rest of the modern versions are CORRUPTED and PERVERSIONS. Personally, I have used the KJV since young and has been my prefered choice of an...

    oral sex

    Anything which allows your mind to run wild and lead you to further inclinations of wanting to do something more... anyway there is no explicit biblical mandate for what constitutes premarital sex. Anyway, wanting oral sex for oral sex's sake is sheer hedonism and selfish pleasure...that is...

    What Is The Rosary Really All About?

    Amen! (as a Protestant) Adoration is directed only to God alone. The veneration of Mary as the "theotokos" - the Mother of God, the analogous Ark of the Covenant, does not equate to worship of the Divine. Caricatures and straw men make poor arguments. We protestants have this sinful habit...

    What Is The Holy Eucharist? Why Is It Good?

    The Eucharist, or the Holy Communion (as we Protestants would define it), is a sacrament which Christ had instituted not only during the Last Supper, but in John 6, where he proclaimed eating and drinking his flesh and blood. It is a sacred moment when we experience the grace of God through...

    Fundamentalism and Roman Catholicism

    Personally, I regard my Catholic brethren as genuine believers in the Lord. I know when I state this I would be in the consternation of my Fundamental and Reformed brethren. To me it is just a different paradigm of thinking, that's all. After perusing through countless works by Scott Hahn...

    why are you a Fundy?

    Sola Scriptura, anyway, is just one out of five tenets of the Reformation. I subscribe to the Reformed tradition. But not the modern-day so-called "Fundamentalist" movement who is against about almost any thing and any one in Christendom. I would say the modern day pharisees.

    why are you a Fundy?

    I consider myself a "fundamental" evangelical Protestant, if you are defining the term based on the historic meaning of the word. Fundamentalism arose out of the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy in the early 1900s, out of which a compilation of declarations of the "fundamentals" of the faith...

    King James Version of the Bible

    I perceived a Texe Marrs and D A Whaite in the making. Or another Dean Burgon..? Hmm... The above assertion is far-fetched and totally incorrect. Modern versions are NOT interpretations of the KJV. They are NOT commentaries on the KJV. It would be too lengthy to rebutt the above and I do...

    King James Version of the Bible

    The NLT is a more gender-inclusive translation than the KJV, thus it uses a more politically correct neutral word "people" instead of "men". Yet again whether or not it was two men or two people - that is not the issue. In the culture wherein the scriptures were written there was still a...

    Without Christ, there would be no Christmas?

    Christmas is a Christian-acquired festival. Definitely. It was a pagan festival celebrating the end of the winter solstice. In fact, when Christians worship on a Sunday, we are remembering that the meaning of the word "Sunday" is the "Day of the Sun" - a day dedicated to Sol, the Sun god of...
