  • 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

    You know though, sometimes the best of parents just have bad kids, and it sounds like she was a good one.

    Outrage after police fatally shoot Jayland Walker in Ohio

    Nice try but the police officer was Hispanic. Furthermore, had the victim complied with simple police commands (in this case, stop reaching and put hands up) he would still be alive. It might have helped had he not been smoking weed at the time also.

    Outrage after police fatally shoot Jayland Walker in Ohio

    So let me get this straight, you think American cops go around "just" shooting people for trivial reasons? Hey bud, your tailgate's out. Bang. Is that what you think?

    Outrage after police fatally shoot Jayland Walker in Ohio

    So let me get this straight. You think a bunch of police literally shot someone just for a minor driving offense? Are you deliberately omitting it or are you ignorant of the fact he shot at them first?

    4 reasons I avoid futurism

    Get a grip! I softened it, and I finished my edits before you posted your response. How was I supposed to know you were already responding? Are we never supposed to edit our comments if we think our answers were a bit too harsh? How about you actually offer something substantive and relevant and...

    4 reasons I avoid futurism

    I guess I should have been clearer, as I had wrongly assumed people knew how to count. Preterists place the beginning of the persecution exactly 42 months before Nero's death. That is, they count back from June 67 and come up with November 64. There is no evidence it started in November. The...

    4 reasons I avoid futurism

    No one knows when it started. Preterists have it begin 42 months before his death to make it fit, but there's no verifiable evidence it began then.

    Nero the beast poll

    I hope not. But an early dating of Revelation doesn't make preterism correct. Facts are still facts, and Tertullian and others placed Revelation in Nero's reign (but they didn't identify Nero with the beast). Historically, the early date is the best, but we shouldn't be basing eschatology on that.

    Nero the beast poll

    You mean by one ambiguous statement of Irenaeus. There are reasons many scholars date it to the 60s.

    Nero the beast poll

    Not according to Tertullian.
