  • 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

    I just finished watching the Eternals against my better judgement.

    Right. I get that its not directly blaspheming God in a literal way. My point is, there is a repeated pattern of using symbols, types, and metaphors to encourage an anti-God way of thinking almost on a subliminal level. It may seem like overreaction or paranoia on my part, but I've been noticing...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    This is quite surreal to me. I'm revisiting this site after a long time away and saw the post and replied to it. I just now realized the original poster was me also. I have no recollection of making the post. So weird. I don't disagree with you. I can tell a younger more immature self made the...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    Sounds reasonable to me. It actually sort of makes sense.

    I just finished watching the Eternals against my better judgement.

    The best I can tell, the moral of the story is that good is evil and evil is good or perhaps the distinction is purely a matter of one's perspective; Humans are pawns under an authoritarian god and for the sake of our survival and autonomy we must unite against the said god and rebel against...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    While praying this morning I had a notion that I will not be presumptuous enough to say it was a word from the Lord but I would like to think it may have been. I was actually asking the Lord to tarry A little longer before his return because there is a certain individual I have a burden for...

    A question for my reformed brothers;

    I understand that reformed theology teaches faith is a fruit of the Spirit and therefore a man or woman cannot exert faith in being redeemed because a person cannot have a fruit of the Spirit until he/she has the Spirit and the Spirit cannot be in a person's heart until the person has been...

    Thanks for posting this.

    not sure if I'm doubting...

    I was raised in a Christian home. I'm not sure of my moment of salvation, but I truly believe I've received Christ. I have rehashed "the sinner's prayer" countless times through the years during moments of doubt. I've received more light on the issue and realize salvation is not about a...

    Looking for a non-literal study bible/ guide

    I know this isn't the point of the thread, but I can't resist. One of the gospels traces Jesus' lineage all the way back to Adam. So, if Adam is a myth, Jesus is descended from a myth. This is a slippery slope you're on.

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    There is a theory that a child's gender identity is established at an extremely early age, maybe around two years of age, and that in the case of hermaphrodites, it is very important to look at the chromosomes to determine the child's true sex so that it can be encouraged to develop accordingly...
