  • 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

    My Wife Has a Question...

    :) Brother, I agree somewhat. I have a personal philosophy that says (Knowledge) + (Divine Enlightenment) = Wisdom. Disregard for a moment that philosophy is only relevant to the philosopher. When God is taken out of the equation, the sum will always be the same. In the case of Science...

    Avatar, Blessings to you and your wife::wave: Please regard this reply as an act of humility, as I am not a scholar. It is a biblical fact that the end of the age will result in destruction. This implies to me that the summation of all of mans achievements point to this same fate...
