  • 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

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    A lot of us will freely admit that "if you ask 4 different Christians about the Bible position on a given topic you may get 5 different answers" A lot of us will freely admit that AI does not get programmed by Methodists to say whatever their bias needs AI to say. So while we all have the same...

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    How many of the Ten Commandments does God tell us to ignore, in your POV? We don't tell Catholics that they lose salvation if they worship using images, pray to the dead, etc. The Holy Spirit convicts each person of Truth. But that does not mean that "Truth changes" depending whether it is a...

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    Some Christians accept the Bible teaching on a real 7 day creation week. Other Christians think evolutionism is a better explanation of reality and origins Some of the Christians who accept Biblical creation also accept an unbent unedited Sabbath remaining to this very day. Does real history...

    Zwingli denominations

    Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin were contemporaries, both pioneering the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland, with Zwingli active earlier in Zurich (d. 1531) and Calvin rising to prominence in Geneva (active from 1536),

    Is David right? Or am I?

    2 Cor 3:7 that you are not quoting -- does not say "ONE of the TEN commandments are written in stone" as some may have imagined. If you are using 2 Cor 3:7 to condemn the Law of God , then know that it is all TEN written on stone as 2 Cor 3:7 reminds us. 2 Cor 3:7 But if the ministry of...

    Is David right? Or am I?

    1 Cor 1:12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except...

    Is David right? Or am I?

    because you don't talk to Messianic Jews? because you don't talk to Seventh-day Baptists? because you don't talk to Seventh-day church of God? Because you don't read section 19 of the "Baptist Confession of Faith"? Because you don't read section 19 of the "Westminster Confession of Faith"...

    Is David right? Or am I?

    No. see Rom 3:31 "do we then abolish the Law of God by our faith"? 1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" Matt 19 Jesus said "Keep the Commandments"

    What should we preach in these last days?

    I agree that chasing people away is not how we draw them in. If someone has not accepted Christ as Savior, or accepted the Genesis account of Creation, it is not really helping them point out a doctrinal error in some other denomination. If someone needs help with simple addition and...

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    we take Jesus' teaching literally but we do not insist that all parables are literal. We know the difference. If you have an example in the Bible of a parable that is of the form "THIS IS THE ACCOUNT" feel free to post it. Until then we take the Word of God as it reads.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    True, there are parables like the one in judges where the trees go out to elect a king. But that does not mean the creation account is mere parable , or the incarnation is mere parable, or the flood is mere parable. "the account" of the creation of Earth as Genesis 2:4 states ,, explicitly...

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    If the Genesis account is fiction, then there is no Biblical basis for the fall of man, sin, or the need of the Gospel

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Some people believe in evolutionism and other in Creation. I believe in the Creation account God put in the Bible Genesis one and two are written in the form of historical narrative narrative. The form of writing is Historical narrative. The one speaking is God according to 2 Tim 3:16 2 Tim...

    Is David right? Or am I?

    Try "exegesis" instead of eisegesis. You don't even quote the text in your comment above Mark 2L27-28 "The Sabbath was made for mankind not mankind MADE for the Sabbath" (speaks of the MAKING of Both in Gen 1-2 "therefore the Son of Man IS Lord of the Sabbath" (does not say the Son of man...

    Is David right? Or am I?

    Yep. No wonder we are called "Christians" and not "Paulians" Paul points out in 1 Cor 3 that it is wrong to try and put Paul on the same level as Christ 1 Cor 1:12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” 13 Has...

    If "every Sabbath" worship and gospel teaching services in the NT (Acts 18:4) are insufficient to see Sabbath after the cross If "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind come before Me to worship" in the New Earth (Is 66:23), is insufficient to see Sabbath observance after the cross What...

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    From "Sabbath to Sabbath" is the same as "from one Sabbath to another" Is 66:23 KJV And in Acts 18:4 we see them meeting "every Sabbath" with both gentiles and Jews in worship and Gospel preaching services. How would Isaiah's readers view his text ? (I.e. Exegesis) For an Israelite in the 8th...

    Christ said in Matt 7 not to judge others. The rule was the same before the cross , as afterwards.

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    It is two distinct cycles, not "every day", not "daily". In the New Earth it is both New Moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath just as the text says
