  • 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

    Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

    God is love, as you pointed out. But his very nature as a loving Father also constrains him to judge those who willfully live in rebellion and reject the free offer of salvation by Jesus Christ. Consider God's relationship with Israel; when they lived in obedience to the law, God prospered and...

    Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

    Hell (Sheol in Hebrew) is the grave where the dead are buried. At resurrection and judgement, the wicked will be cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone (Rev 19:20), where their soul will be eternally tormented. At the GWTJ, death and hell, too, will be cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:14)...

    Can Salvation be lost?

    God doesn't take away a believer's desire to leave, particularly in the face of persecution. If there's no chance that a true believer could potentially lose their salvation, then there would have been no need for the various warnings that "only those who overcome Rev 2:26; 3:5 & v21" shall...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    If salvation cannot be lost, would you explain why the Lord warned the church in these passages: Matt 24:13, Rev 2:26, 3:5 to persevere and overcome to receive the promised eternal life? Bear in mind that the Lord was speaking to "saved" believers, not the unsaved.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Can you support your view with one or two scriptures to show that salvation cannot be lost once received?

    Can Salvation be lost?

    Thank you for the passages you provided that highlight an irrefutable shade to the concept.

    Can Salvation be lost?

    I concur with your view. Our constant awareness of the folly of self-righteousness is the key to depending on Christ's righteousness to make it to the end. Remarkably, Jesus warned believers in Matt 24:13, Rev 2:26, Rev 3:5, and several other places that he who endures/overcomes to the end shall...

    Religion of" peace".

    You are dead wrong. Their (at least some of them) extremism is smouldering underneath. The reason it hasn't been unleashed is because they are still playing the acceptance game to lure America into accepting them as peaceful. In the next 20-30 years they would have gained more foothold in...

    Religion of" peace".

    Would you like to show me a Muslim country/society that is without an element of fundamentalism?

    Transgenderism Is A Real Threat To Christians

    For a start, if you are not a Christian, what are you doing on this platform? Second, you ignored my narrative and picked a sentence out of context to project a feigned and misguided fragile sensibility. I'm sure the parents you believe would struggle to explain to their curious children the...

    Transgenderism Is A Real Threat To Christians

    Thank you for this wonderful exploration of this ugly but unsurprising proof that the end of the age is nigh. You asked a pertinent question: should Christians fight this cultural trend or give in to the pressure for acceptance? From my pov, no pathway is guaranteed to stop it. The NT is full...

    Hamas-Israel News Thread

    I partly agree. It is the same problem confronting every Western army, from Russia against Afghanistan in 1979 to the US and the allies in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent times. Once a terrorist drops his AK47, he becomes an "innocent civilian" but with a weapon, he's a terrorist. How do you...

    Hamas-Israel News Thread

    Isn't it rich of you to accuse Israel of "aggressive and unjustified heavy monitory, etc"? When Hamas launched their unprovoked attack against Israel, they did not play by the rule of engagement - they cut down everyone in their path - both young, old and even babies! Did they not know that...

    AOD in the holy place

    I concur that a brick-and-mortar temple must be in place to fulfil several end-time prophecies. My objection is that some of the passages you presented as support, don't say what you claim they are saying.
