  • 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

    Breaking: Venezuela attacked by U.S. Update: Maduro and wife captured.

    It is ironic that Trump ( a legit felon) claims legal and moral superiority. And can still say things like, “No one is above the law.”

    Breaking: Venezuela attacked by U.S. Update: Maduro and wife captured.

    I just do not trust anything Trump does. To him it is all business transaction. Not a lot of moral or legal discernment.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Because it does have moral authority. But like it or not, we still must work to apply it in our life snd time. Naturally some people have what ever it takes to go deeper. Others are satisfied at superficial meaning. The important thing is the moral instruction and how we live it out.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    It is not an all or nothing situation. The Bible has many books and many genres. It takes discernment and historical consciousness to sift through it all and even then there will be differences of opinion and interpretation.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Didn’t Jesus speak plainly enough for you about whom to invite for dinner? If not what is the point of the parable?

    Adam

    Even the most well read scholars still have unanswered questions. Too often we feel we must have the only right answer. And then we argue to defend it. It is ok to still have questions. When reading something like Genesis it is good to simply ask ourselves, “What does this mean to me? What...

    Is Europe facing civilizational erasure?

    Maybe what you are getting at is a meaning forced on you, or indoctrinating you. The whole existential atheist thing was or is that we are free to create or define our own meaning in our lives. I think we all need to do that in spite of whatever meaning or indoctrination we found ourselves in.

    Mass Shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church/School in Minneapolis

    For me the main takeaway is that it is very easy for any of us to do evil thinking we are doing good. And it happens frequently. We rationalize and compromise. We slowly extinguish our innate sense if justice, goodness, and what is right, if we ever had such a sense. Conscience, it takes...

    IHS Medal

    IHS are the first Greek letters in the name of “Iesus” and an ancient Christogram. I was wanting to wear one so I found one and was intrigued to find an image of the face if Jesus on the other side. I want this as a reminder to myself of all I claim to believe and the way of being in the world...

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    But not all scripture is literal historical. I get that you need to believe that right now in your world view. Some people even need a flat Earth.

    I can agree with that. It takes careful discernment to sift through it all.

    Adam

    And there are many layers of genre in the Bible. The further back we go in time the more legend and myth we find. To force literal historical reading on everything in the Bible, especially the Pentateuch, is to abuse it.
