  • 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.

    Sex acts

    The question was- 'In a heterosexual marriage, what sex acts are against God?' I (and I'm sure many others) are suprised you didn't name a few. This being because of all your posts in the gay threads. I myself do not believe that there are any sex acts between the married partners...

    mental illness

    The root of mental illness is due to a living negative external influence. Everyone, absolutely everyone......hears voices in their mind. We are conditioned to believe that it is always our own mind coming up with the words we hear. Human history reveals that this is not true. For no...

    Can someone please explain to me...

    Very, very, few will enter into heaven without first having the chance to obey the Gospel: Romans 2:14-16 (The Message) 14-16When outsiders who have never heard of God's law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by their obedience. They show that God's law is not...

    Shattering the Christ Myth

    I think one of the most troubling arguments out there that put Matthew and Luke's description of Jesus' conception and birth in the realm of 'myth' is the Temple of Luxor evidence. I was hoping that one of those 3 segments would have addressed it. I don't know how else to respond to this...

    Are we being worse than the Pharisees?

    Are we being worse than the Pharisees? There is definitely the theme- "Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees" in the first 3, the synoptic, Gospels. I think the similarity between the militant fundamentalists of today with those scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' time, is that misinterpreted...

    'One-on-One' Formal Debate section

    I think it would be very beneficial to have this kind of sub-forum in either the Christian Philosophy and/or Apologetics forums. Have 3 Affirmatives with 3 Negatives with a word limit of 1200 words in each. I think it would be exciting to see a title such as 'Is Violating (Lev.18:23,20:13)...

    UFOs

    Yes. The Bible endorses what the secular world terms UFOs: Ezekiel 1 (New International Version) The Living Creatures and the Glory of the Lord 1 In the [a] thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were...

    Godlessness

    First of all, the scriptures teach that the reason Jesus offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for those who would follow God, was not because humanity could not live a highly moral life..........but because we sin. The OP says that a believer in Jesus Christ is a follower of Him. This...

    Question about abortion

    Very true. If this were a more humanly perfect world, abortion would not exist. It is such a hot-button issue. So much so that even Christians have distorted the scriptures of certain Old Testament prophets describing their coming into existance to perform specific work that God...

    Is God a moral relativist?

    Leviticus is not addressing homosexuality. It is not addressing immoral family behavior. We interpret that this is what it is referring to because we do not study it any deeper that just surface glance, and very conservative preachers taught us this way for years. Leviticus is referring to...

    The Born Again Experience?

    My 'born again' experience occurred a number of years ago. While I was reading the Psalms and the 4 Gospels.....a strange thing happened to me. It was like a newness . Like I was brand new concerning how I thought and felt. Not concerning the hot-button subjects of the day.....but the...

    Why gays, lesbians, transgendered, and others are born

    You are in a jam Phinehas2. God did not arbitrarily pick a number of nations to exterminate just to make a place for the Israelites. No, those nations were guilty of very depraved worship acts that are listed in the book of Leviticus. It is just that the way these acts are listed is what...

    Why gays, lesbians, transgendered, and others are born

    Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God. (Lev.18:29) This is proof positive that the Pre-Exodus Jews had not committed any of the acts...

    Why gays, lesbians, transgendered, and others are born

    Stinker2, Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the point you are making and don’t agree, the point I am making is your point isn’t the Christian one, not the historic apostolic Christian one, though you are free to hold it as another belief. However, the book of Leviticus itself tells us that the...
