  • 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

    We received our Orthodox Study Bible today!

    I received mine last night--hardbound. I have to admit that I'm a bit underwhelmed. They have omitted the scriptural cross-references in the center of the page. (If you have the NT OSB, you know what I mean.) Also, the new study Bible has an "Index to Annotations," which is 24 pages, but no...

    Evangelical leader resigns over gay sex claims

    Well, now we've got news that 'Pastor Ted' admits to some of the allegations. That makes sense, in light of the interview I posted above. Haggard just didn't seem to be denying the allegations strongly enough. Haggard said, "We've got an independent panel and they can fire me, or discipline...

    Do you take creation in Genesis literally?

    Perhaps this isn't something we should argue with people about. Each person is at a different place in their journey of faith. Some people may not be ready to accept the Genesis account of creation. As for me, the more I ponder the complex life forms on this earth, the body and all of its...

    Do you take creation in Genesis literally?

    Ummm...no. The Canaanites were from the clan of Canaan, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. See Genesis chapter 10. While it might be theoretically possible for God to have created more than two 'men' (i.e., adam & eve, thus explaining how a&e's children found wives), STILL, all humanity is...

    Do you take creation in Genesis literally?

    Thanks for the renewed discussion, guys. I hope I didn't come off as too harsh in my first post. I was just shocked that Orthodox Christians wouldn't believe in the creation story. As a protestant, I have a hard time believing in the Real Presense, the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, and other...

    Do you take creation in Genesis literally?

    Well, there are some of us fundamentalist inquirers who may have had the same reaction (i.e., walking out the door) when he said "no." I'm really surprised there are so many people here who reject young earth creationism. It's a matter of faith, isn't it? I mean, we believe that God could...

    Church of Christ at my door.

    As a Church of Christ member who is inquiring into Orthodoxy, I will pray for you. I recommend you solidify your reasons why you are moving out of the CoC and into the EOC. Clifton's blog has been very helpful to me in this regard, in that I can see that my move to Orthodoxy is not a rejection...

    The Philokalia Vol 1-4?

    I bought the set about a year and a half ago. I started Vol. 1. It was good, but I got bogged down. Now the 4 volumes just sit on my shelf beside my bed and stare at me. I'm not in too much of a hurry. There's so much to read and seemingly so little time. Argh!!
