  • 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

    coming out of the closet

    Hey Kamikat, I feel like to admit the world is unexplainable is to accept we are a lesser being to something greater, intentionally we are created to either accept or reject we don't have all the answers. Do you think? It's a humbling thing. that's how I look at things i think. It's...

    Why is the Bible Trustworthy?

    Hi lostinthought, I think the way the Bible was written might have been through general impressions of what God wanted them to write rather than word for word. So the message behind the writing is of God, and when we are filled with His Spirit we understand His writing. But if we are not, we...

    where have you gone?

    Hey mate. My name's Jonathan, I live in Newcastle Australia. Last night a friend of mine dropped into my house. He had some similar questions and struggles. His father passed away a few years ago to the day, yesterday, and it was on his mind. Tough hey. I just wanted to love him and fully...

    If Christians sin....

    Woah! Martin Luther said the Christian is "always sinning, always repentant". I believe this to be biblical, and from my experience definitely true!! Christians HATE sin, hate it, it has caused all the pain and destruction in the world, it nailed Jesus to the cross. Imagine someone close...

    How many point Calvinist?

    Hindsey, This is all a bit confusing! Too much religious jargon for me to understand! Calvinism, Augustine... hmmm... 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 says follow Jesus not man... "For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. NOT WITH THE WISDOM OF WORDS, LEST THE CROSS OF CHRIST...

    Proof of Jesus' existance

    A good post JJB. Swdee, I grew up in a Seventh-day Adventist household. Many SDA's believe Ellen White to be an expecially anointed prophet to speak truth to us in the last days. I have a friend who looked into her writings for three months or so (using the internet primarily!?) and...

    Spiked?

    Chamberlain, When Jesus died 2000 years ago, so did I. Here is a fact we all know too well: "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 3:23) I've sinned, the wages for my sin is my death. I've turned from God, we all deserve to take the consequences of our actions. It is justice...

    Levitical Law

    Hey Diagoras, God is a loving, merciful, forgiving God. He created us to live in harmony with Him. When we turned against Him He did not leave us to die on our own. He sent a part of Himself in Jesus to die the death we deserve. Not only this but He has also sent a part of Himself in...

    Is faith enough?

    Chilehed, Your post has errors in it. Why? Because humans make mistakes, we are sinful, all of us! Romans 3:10 writes "There is none righteous, no, not one". A little later the apostle Paul writes "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight" (Romans 3:20)...

    Why is it the more educated I become, the more i drift away from religion?

    Contradictionsz, One more thought, something I find fascinating. Genesis describes the creation process whereby God breathed into us the "breath of life". I find it fascinating that a person can die of old age, that the heart will all of a sudden just stop for no reason except "the...

    Is faith enough?

    Hey Jwal, You have a real positive attitude about things, it's always encouraging and lifts my spirits to read a post where someone simply says "thanks" :) I also really like it when someone feels comfortable with the answer given and decides to think about it rather than continue in...

    Do you believe that atheists are evil?

    I just thought I might attempt to add one more thing, this is how I see humanity to do with sin. We are spirit, soul and body. Spirit: The life breathed into us by God Soul: Our thoughts and emotions Body: Our physical parts SPIRIT Our spirit is dead to the things of God until...

    Why is it the more educated I become, the more i drift away from religion?

    Contradictionsz, One can believe whatever they want to believe to some degree. When something supernatural happens, science attempts to explain it with the natural. If a person is healed by the power of God, science will conclude many things such as: hypnotic state (often the explanation...
