  • 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

    What does 'the Kingdom of Heaven is within you' mean?

    Do you need to find a quote that says 'Our Father in Heaven is the creator of all things' or 'The Lord Jesus Christ is perfect in every dimension' or that 'Man can only come to the Father through Christ'? Human truth is derived from experience and experiment. We can test that which is said...

    What does 'the Kingdom of Heaven is within you' mean?

    It seems most agree that 'the Kingdom of Heaven is within you' is the presence of the Holy Spirit. And here's how I believe the Holy Spirit communicates; The feeling you get when a new born baby, still steaming from its mother's womb, grasps your little finger. The joy you feel when a...

    Romans 15:1-7

    In His words;- Matt22;37-40 Jesus said unto him thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang...

    What does 'the Kingdom of Heaven is within you' mean?

    Hey Billwald, Not imposed but how about released - made aware - set free - unbound by external circumstances? Josh (gonna click your CF link - that number's freaking me out)

    What does 'the Kingdom of Heaven is within you' mean?

    OK, I agree with the Holy Spirit sense. So how can we then know when the Kingdom of Heaven is within us? How does It communicate to us? What is It's language? Does It communicate through emotion?...like if I see something that's wrong it can make me sad or angry (the righteous type) and...

    How do we grow in holiness?

    Hey hlaltimus, Your post is flesh to my bones (post#20). Excellent. Eloquent. Can't add to it, but might I say this.... The second you contemplate your holiness is the second you lose it. The work you do for God should be done out of love for Him, not love for your own holiness in His...

    How do we grow in holiness?

    What do people mean by holy? In whose eyes do we wish to 'appear' holy? It seems to me that the 'holiest' of people in history have been the humblest. Is it better to do God's work anonymously than with trumpets? Do we need a paypacket to do His work? We are diverted from Him if we consider...

    Will Christians shout ''Crucify Him" when He comes?

    "So you don't agree that when Christ said that when He returns, everyone will know who He is?" Faith is the rock. He is God. We are but mankind. When Christ came He changed things and did not conform to the Jewish interpretation of the Messiah - yet it was prophesied. Why then does 'He that...

    Will Christians shout ''Crucify Him" when He comes?

    Hey repentant, "This question you asked is pretty, well, no offense, but dumb." What kind of person would respond to such a question? I believe that God wants us to give ourselves to Him freely, and that this is the purest way to know Him - because it is our choice. Would all Christians...

    Will Christians shout ''Crucify Him" when He comes?

    But what if He doesn't fit your criteria for the Saviour. My point is you may not recognise Him as Saviour. There are so many different Christian denominations with different theories about the second coming that only a small group of people will know Him - as was the case with Christ in the...

    Will Christians shout ''Crucify Him" when He comes?

    Though the Jews of Christ's time knew that He had been prophesied in the OT, they could not believe Him. He that said give all your possessions to the poor and follow me. He that held lowly people over the rich hypocritical temple dwellers. He that broke what was understood to be God's law. If...

    Who caused the death of Jesus?
