  • 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

    CW you have an icon that shows you are a Christians but question if the bible can be trusted...don't you think by now if they found the bible had been tampered with we would know? There is no much evidence for the bible now its pretty hard to say this unless you haven't done the research. Of...

    What make you believe there actually a God?Thanks!

    I don't just believe there is a God, I know there is a God... The bible tells us that God puts the knowledge of Him in all of us. Of course many around the world don't have access to a bible...they don't need to in order to know there is a God. Everything around us is evidence of Him...

    The Dark Side of Christianity

    Ok... What I saw was xcrunner71 simply wanted to warn others about hell and how awful it is and to me that is showing mercy and compassion...I mean Jesus warns everyone about hell many time and I sawxcrunner71 simply trying to do what he has learned from Jesus' own words. I really just...

    xcrunner...I really hope you don't leave..I read all your posts on this thread and saw NO arrogance at all...I honestly don't know why G2 said that too you... You CANNOT be Lucifer...he is a spirit! You are not. Also satan can only be in one place at a time...so if Sally thinks she is...

    The Dark Side of Christianity

    . Look at what you said in the first quote on here...you said "People have taken it and expanded the meaning to something almost contrary to the original meaning" So I asked what you were talking about ...where had you head this had other meanings...then you reply you hadn't heard anything...

    Parable of the sower

    I believe it means exactly what it says. Its four different types of people that the seed was sow in with four different reaction to it. We know the seed is the message of the kingdom of God because Jesus says that is what it is: Matthew 13 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom...

    It would be helpful if you gave the name of the book, chapter and verses when quoting scriptures. Also it would benefit you, if you would read this in content. Paul is showing the struggle between the flesh (sin) and the spirit...he certainly isn't saying to follow the law other wise he is...

    The Dark Side of Christianity

    Ok...what do you think it means? I don't see how it can be any clearer when Jesus says, for without Me you can do nothing. I have never heard of different views as to the meaning of this verse like you seem to have. What are some of the things you have heard? Also you posted John 14:6 which...

    Parable of the sower

    What? Why would Jesus (who fulfilled the Jewish laws so we don't have too) be teaching us to go backwards and live by the law which leads to death? Living by the law was trying to 'work your way to salvation'...not accept it through grace alone. Matthew 5 17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have...

    Do you know HIM?

    Oh ok...my fault actually...sometimes I take things too literally missing the over all message of a post (and here I go again...sorry...its my thing I guess :o) The bible never says Jesus appear in different forms though...He does however work through others and the passage of the least of these...

    The Dark Side of Christianity

    I am sure He is but its not a surprise to Him either as He warns us about these type of 'Christians' Himself. So He certainly isn't surprised! Matthew 7 15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit...

    The Dark Side of Christianity

    That isn't what the bible says: John 15:4-5 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without...
