  • 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

    God: One entity, or three?

    "In those days of very slow communication, an ambassador or business factor could not always refer back to the king or business owner over decisions. It would simply take too long. So such people were given authority to make treaties or deals as tho the king or business owner were doing it. When...

    God: One entity, or three?

    Just cruising by when I noticed this question. Recently I heard someone describe the triune God in a way my wee mind could almost comprehend. She said that we would not say, "I'm taking the Nemo body for a walk." or "The Nemo mind, will and emotions and I had an interesting exchange about the...

    United Church in Canada

    Thank you. I suppose to ask questions properly I need a better understanding of what John Wesley actually taught. I'm working on this. An online article by Dennis Hartman raised questions about the UCC's view of the authority of the Bible and salvation by grace through faith Jesus Christ alone...

    United Church in Canada

    Can anyone tell me how the comtemporary United Church in Canada (a union of Methodist, Congregationalist and Presbyterian churches I think) differs from the Methodist church established by John Wesley? What are the doctrinal differences?

    Earthquake prediction 12/30 - 1/9/2010

    About the same time as your dream I also dreamed about an earthquake in Northern California -although it had no date attached. I'm not posting to prove anything about anything -and because scoffers will say it's always easy to prophesy retroactively (lol.) -and it's a fairly sure thing that an...

    On Dreams and Visions and Guarding Ourselves from Spiritual Delusion

    To the original poster, Seashale, My heart aches for you. For most of my life I too assumed that God spoke only to those "people much wiser than you or me". I assumed I would be too easily duped into believing false spirits to think I could actually hear from the Father himself. I was afraid of...

    Define what freedom means to you?

    What has happened to SF/C?

    1 John 4 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen...

    What has happened to SF/C?

    Just checked in to see if things have changed. They haven't. Being "right" still seems to be more important than being Jesus' love to others. There are other forums where Jesus is honored, the church is encouraged and truth is cherished, but not used to batter the sheep. There are forums...

    Lethbridge, Alberta?

    There is a Netherlands Reformed church on the north side that is so decently-and-in-order that they park their cars in a tight spiral pattern in the parking lot. They all leave in exactly the reverse order of the way they arrived. Apparently a vehicle which can make a quick get-away in case of...

    Never-kissed woman wows Cowell, becomes YouTube sensation

    Why is this woman's performance such a surprise? I am happy for her victory and admire her courage, but it pains me deeply that the video is being passed around simply because so many people are surprised that a less than fashionably beautiful woman can sing beautifully. Although some see it...

    what denomination to do you feel closer to?

    None of the above..... and all of the above. Denominations often form to include believers who have something in common and then, within two or three generations, (or a couple of years for some) degenerate into groups of people who want to exclude other believers who don't have every single...

    Knowing Objective Truth

    I agree. I cannot know the truth about some things therefore I cannot know true truth is a logical fallacy. I believe, however, that some postmoderns have headed for the other ditch in reaction to the fallacy acted upon by many Christians lacking intellectual humility: I know truth therefore I...
