  • 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

    Examining The Self Contradictory Testimonies By Paul

    Ive never really understood Muslim exegesis of John. Why do you not consider the promised 'advocate', the Spirit given in Ch. 20? Are you not being somewhat selective by finding a procphecy for your Prophet from the mouth of Jesus but dismissing passages in which he claims identification with God?

    Anglican bishops declare that Jesus is not God

    I never said there was a "organization". By western communion I mean the Church in America and England which is by far more liberal than the rest of the Church. What, do you think the Episcopal Church is conservative??? Get off your martyr complex, I wasnt taking shots at you, I was once a...

    Anglican bishops declare that Jesus is not God

    [/color][/font][/left] What debates? The divinity of Christ is something Christians seem to have settled in the 4th century. [left][b][color=#000066] Point? Christians are not the only ones who consider Muhammed a false prophet, the Jews do as well. [/size][/font] First, referring to...

    To Christians - Have You Ever Practiced a Non-Christian Religion?

    I practice Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity. I also do Dhikr with a Sufi Shiekh I know. I hope to one day also practice Judaism. I have a big intrest in eastern traditions like Hinduism and would like to practice it one day, but my primary intrest is in the Judeo-Christian...

    Christianity, Judaism and Satan

    Papists article indicates that the Satan is a construct of Christian mythology. Actually, Satan as he is thought of today was very much a Jewish creation, just as Christianity originally was. As the Jews returned from Exile and Hellenism began to seep into the Chosen People, breakaway sects...

    Anyone practice more than one Tradition?

    Im pretty ingnorant when it comes Buddhism and Taoism. I have a basic understanding of Buddhism in the sense of what it shares with generic spirituality in other traditions. It is something im very interested in especially the idea of Buddhist mysticism. In the end I just really havent had any...

    Anyone practice more than one Tradition?

    I dont really practice anything simply because I think its fun (altough, thats a part of it and why should it not be?). I have a sincere belief and devotion to God, so what seperates me from the literal minded Catholic or Muslim? A dogma? Really the only difference is the degree of literal...

    Anyone practice more than one Tradition?

    No, ive come to believe its intellectualy bankrupt to approach the various traditions on the basis finding one and accepting its mother load of dogmatic beliefs. I wont make any naive statements that "all religions are the same" but underlying all the worlds Wisdom traditions is a common core of...

    Anyone practice more than one Tradition?

    :scratch: Not sure what you mean here. I want to practice common Islam but im more interested in Sufism which is the mystical branch of Islam and tends to be pretty universal in its outlook. One branch of Sufism which was brough to the West by Hazrat Inayat Khan was heavily influenced by...
