  • 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

    some christians sell christian music in the street without permission

    But it is still stealing. Being poor does not make it allowable. It sounds more like you are seeking permission or for someone to tell you that it's ok to continue with it... but it's not. Pretty clear cut.

    Why would an atheist come to Christ, if not to avoid hell?

    Truth. But there's also a flip side, and this was key to my transition to a believer. I approached it in a logical, somewhat scientific manner, addressing the issue of why I should believe the Bible and what it said. Historical accuracies, the proof of the prophecies, the astonishing...

    Why would an atheist come to Christ, if not to avoid hell?

    I absolutely agree that it can be a stumbling block, just like anger, or any emotion... I think that's why the OT also says that the heart of man is deceitful... we give into emotion instead of balancing between emotion and intellect. But this is a bit of a rabbit trail from the original post...

    Why would an atheist come to Christ, if not to avoid hell?

    @JGC and oi_antz I want to say how much I appreciate your heartfelt and respected discussion. THIS is what all Atheist/Christian debates should be like. JGC, I DO understand where you speak from, but I have traveled the opposite road. I lived the first 25 years of my life as a rabid atheist...

    Why would an atheist come to Christ, if not to avoid hell?

    Hatred is NOT sin, in and of itself, in fact it is attributed as an emotion of God himself in certain passages (ie, His hatred OF sin), just like Anger is not a sin. It depends on the "object" of the hate and what actions are taken as a result of it. Psalm 11:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible...

    FTP Scripting?

    firewall issue. *facepalm* I was expecting that since it was authenticating and allowing commands through, it was ok, but I have been recently informed that while the FTP "control" commands go over port 21, the "Data" is piped over high port #s. Create Firewall exception for ftp.exe, restrict...

    When did the disciples stop being Jews?

    Who's to say they DID stop being Jews? Old School Messianic Jews, FTW! :) ( I hope that is taken in the brotherly love and humor it is said in)

    Most Annoying/Embarrassing Death

    Some text based allow for things like that, it just says "you have caught fire and died" or something. I actually have the first 3 Zork games on PC, but haven't played them yet. Have to bust them out sometime.
