  • 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.

    Need prayer

    I've been having depression hit me off and on. Sometimes I feel fine, even great, other times I start to feel hopeless and lonely again. It puts a lot of stress and anxiety on me. Right now I'm struggling with the feeling of heartache. A relationship with a woman that might not work out is...

    2 Corinthians 10:5 - Double application?

    For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God...

    Why does the messiah have to be God's Son?

    I like that explanation of it. I think some people take the idea of sacrifice too literal and simplistic in terms of christ just having to die on an altar to appease some kind of cosmic law on our behalf. It just doesn't make sense to me. And when it doesn't make sense to people they have...

    The original Hebrew Gospel of Matthew

    There are dozens of copies of matthew in hebrew, the oldest going back to the 14th century. It was always assumed that these were created by the jews of that era, but as the series outlines (with the help of a textual expert who worked on the dead sea scrolls), who it is more likely that it...

    The original Hebrew Gospel of Matthew

    You're saying the early fathers didn't know what they were talking about, that they didn't know the difference between hebrew and aramaic? On what basis is that concluded?

    The original Hebrew Gospel of Matthew

    I don't remember which, but some of the early church fathers attested to the fact that Matthew's gospel was originally written in Hebrew. YouTube - aroodawakening's Channel Here's a very fascinating series that delves into what hebrew copies of matthew, studied only just recently, can...

    Scriptures concerning those who hate or repel from god's word?

    John 3:20 is closer to what I was thinking. It's not quite the one I remember, but there are probably more like it somewhere in paul's writings. 2 Timothy 4:1 isn't the same kind of thing I was thinking of, because it deals with the falling away from sound doctrine, not people who hate the...

    Scriptures concerning those who hate or repel from god's word?

    I can't find them with an online search, and can't remember where I heard them, but aren't there verses saying something to the effect of some people become angry when they hear god's word because they despise hearing truth, because to hear the truth would mean they would have to turn from their...

    Fear of being dead.

    I've had similar experiences in the past of wondering what if I'm already dead and trapped in some kind of limbo. The enemy has also tried to convince me that I'm suffering from something more serious whenever I've had panic attacks. However I know that feeling of being dead and detached isn't...

    Why did Cain and Abel bring an offering?

    It can be inferred from genesis that god informed adam of his promise of salvation, and by faith in this hope they walked in obediance to god. He also kiled animals and used the skins to temporarily cover their skins. A picture of the sacrifice that would be continually offered to cover the sins...

    Exodus story proven to be historical fact

    That's a lie. He has never once set a date for the time of the end. You're not interesting in giving the presented evidence a fair shake, but others probably will be.
