  • 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

    Satan and errors in scripture

    I am not the one doing the dancing. In reply to my response in post #16 you called it a strawman. When I asked for clarification you lied and said the definition for ‘corrupt’ you used was a change from the original. Then you continue to argue the Bible had lost its message due to the errors and...

    The Resurrection

    I already explained to you that you do not win debates with strawman, sarcasm and slippery slope fallacies. The fact that you do not understand these logically invalid constructs is proven by your delusion that somehow you won. I am not changing the subject. Whether or not you understand...

    The Resurrection

    Again: I don’t blame you for ignoring the challenge in post# 462. Regardless how you choose to answer it, honestly or dishonestly, it would reveal your inability to understand what logical reasoning is and how to use it to construct valid arguments. You could do a search for it on the web...

    The Resurrection

    (Luke 13:13) And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. (14) And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them...

    Satan and errors in scripture

    Not intentionally; you make it difficult to know the true intent of the OP. When I answered: You said it was a strawman and then in answer to my question if the word corrupt was used to mean that it is less valuable or that is it simply a change from the original” you said “Change from the...

    The Seventh Article of Faith

    I no longer attend the church where I was baptized, because I moved away, but yes the spiritual gifts were exercised as outlined in 1 Corinthians 14 every Sunday in the meeting hall. This is why I ask the question of the OP. When I first heard about the seventh article I began to investigate the...

    So the answer is a question? Thank you for your contribution to this thread.

    The Seventh Article of Faith

    I am asking whether the Gifts of the Spirit are exercised in the ward.

    The Seventh Article of Faith

    There is a reason according to Paul. It is to edify the church. It is not a personal event at all but should be made public and done orderly so that the church is edified. (1Co 14:12) Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the...

    Satan and errors in scripture

    Okay, I see your point now. What threw me was this: I thought your view was that the errors were so bad that God should have intervene to prevent them so the message would not be corrupted. Thank you for the clarification that your point is that the text was changed. I do not agree with this...

    The Resurrection

    My bad; I was under the impression we were at an impasse because you said: So I thought maybe we could try another avenue to discuss in civil discourse. It is because I do not have an answer. The position you take in the red text is only based on your opinion of what others should or should not...

    The Seventh Article of Faith

    The Seventh Article of Faith 7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. Is the following exercised in every ward? 1 Corinthians 14 (26) How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm...
