  • 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

    Struggling.....Looking for guidance

    You should not live in fear. Ever. Struggles are simply the nature of this world. They have been since the fall and they will be until the earth is redeemed. The thing to remember is that all the evil... all that is wrong... all that is corrupt... it will all end. Focus on that. Christ...

    I'm a false convert. What do I do now?

    The truth makes us free. And if to be free is to enjoy a fullness of spiritual and intellectual invigoration, then truth is the ultimate spiritual and intellectual invigorator. If, then, you are not invigorated as you live the truth you've embraced, perhaps what you believe is not the truth...

    I am starting to hate free will

    To my knowledge, God has never compelled any of us to choose a particular thing, including whether or not to exist. And by "exist," I mean as beings capable of expressing our own will. Granted, I don't know that God has told us about that moment in eternity where we were offered the option to...

    LDS Mormons Take Satan's Deception From Genesis

    Sure. Truth can be found anywhere. So can falsehoods. Sometimes they're found alongside one another. Wheat and tares in the same field, that kind of thing. This seems quite uncontroversial to me. Well, the reason I trust any portion of the Bible at all is because I trust God, who has given...

    LDS Mormons Take Satan's Deception From Genesis

    Any document or book containing at least one truth is a repository of truth. Elusive? Figuratively, yes, but only when its discovery is impeded by something. Yes, an inspiring doctrine. Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

    Wait, I don't understand something. Where do you believe the physical person of Jesus is right now?

    LOL, I fight a different battle. So, pass. :)

    LDS Alright then, Mormons, let's have it out

    This is the purpose of the thread, per your OP: That's what the words you just now quoted refer to. The topic of discussion is the battle you have invited members of the LDS church to wage on your beliefs.

    LDS Mormons Take Satan's Deception From Genesis

    I was clarifying the position of those who embrace the Restored Gospel. That's all. Perhaps if I'd have said "[We believe] that God is the source of truth, not books..." you'd have seen that I'm not assaulting your beliefs, but declaring mine. But yes, the Bible is included in "the books" to...

    LDS Alright then, Mormons, let's have it out

    Right, we're talking about the Restored Gospel. And, specifically, we are addressing your invitation of member of the LDS church to assault your beliefs with it. Are we still talking about that? Seems that you've moved into different territory now. I've offered that I don't have an interest...

    LDS Alright then, Mormons, let's have it out

    Actually, I responded here thinking that your reply was in the other thread. Gotta change my response to fit the context here. No, it is never needed that people beat one another with their beliefs, no matter how long they have generally been around.

    LDS Mormons Take Satan's Deception From Genesis

    I'm just saying that God is the source of truth, not books, all of which were compiled by mortal hands. So if God reveals something today that appears to be different than what was compiled into a book yesterday, or 2000 years ago, it is short-sighted to ascribe to God the mortal condition of...

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not marginalizing your faith. I think it's great that you feel so strongly and speak so highly of God. Those are things to be commended!

    LDS Mormons Take Satan's Deception From Genesis

    I understand this view, but don't find it meaningful. The vigor with which it is asserted seems overblown. Not saying that it shouldn't be important to those to whom it is, just that I don't get it.
