  • 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.

    Is forgiveness fair to the victim

    We are to FORGIVE as we want God to FORGIVE US. Look into your soul deeply and be honest, how many times have you wronged and trespassed against God? The WAGES of SIN is DEATH. Physical and Spiritual DEATH. We are ALL guilty before GOD. So the question is, do you want God to forgive YOU when...

    Did my mother commit adultery?

    According to God's word, Jesus said if you remarry you are committing adultery. If your spouse DIES, you are free to remarry, but if you and your spouse DIVORCE are still living and remarry, you are living in Adultery. MANY Christians IGNORE this, but the Bible is VERY clear on this. Luke...

    If you commit sin are you still of God? Yes or no

    Is Minecraft Evil or Spiritual Dangerous? Can Christians Play Minecraft?

    The game itself is not "EVIL" but the issue comes when a child spends so much time consumed with a game, and is not property parented, spiritually fed, and cared for. Good or Not, a child should appropriate amounts of time set for TV, games, just as they should for Candy, and Junk food. The...

    Does Evolution Explain Tiger Stripes?

    First, let's DEFINE the type of "EVOLUTION" you speak of. If you mean Micro Evolution where we see variations in the same kind of animals, YES, That's a fact. If you mean Darwinian Evolution were a Dinosaur can change into a BIRD, NO. That's a fairy tale. First, God created a perfect world...

    Does Evolution Explain Tiger Stripes?

    First Define the term EVOLUTION. If you mean Micro Evolution, YES, that's a scientific FACT. There are changes within a kind of animal. If you mean MACRO Evolution, IE: Dinosaur magically turning into a BIRD, NO. Macro Evolution is a Religion. A BELIEF based on ASSUMPTIONS. It can not be...

    Can we accept the defeat (election) and move on?

    The big issues is socialists and Communists that have infiltrated America. While we didn't have the greatest of choices in our election this time around, Trump was the lesser of the two evils so to speak. At least Vice President is a strong Christian as well! Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be...

    Gods role in our life

    I won't act like I know how involved God is in someone else's life, but I feel God wants us to seek HIM and HIS will FIRST. What's God's will? Read the Bible and stay in prayer every day and listen. God can't steer us if the boat isn't moving. He gave us a brain to make choices on this earth...

    Camel through a Needle’s eye

    Jesus wasn't talking about a person with a specific dollar amount in their bank. It will be different for everyone. Just as some people struggle with homosexual thoughts, others over eating, and some stealing. It's about what's more important in a person's life over GOD. MONEY tends to drive...

    Camel through a Needle’s eye

    It's a condition of one's heart. Some people wouldn't be effected by wealth, continue to have a healthy attitude, and be fine with or without, and continue to love Christ. Many people would NOT, and would fall. Jesus was speaking of a heart condition, and one's priorities. When someone LOVES...

    How long before a marriage is considered successful?

    DEFINE SUCCESS? Still married when you both DIE? Walked with God, did your best, picked yourself up when you fell, forgave, loved. Define SUCCESS based on God's terms. A bigger issue are those who DIVORCE and remarry and are living in adultery according to Jesus including pastors on their 2nd...
