  • 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

    Discouraged about waiting until marriage

    First of all, if you are a born again, Christ washed Christian, you had no right to be with that girl. I am very sorry you are hurt, but you dodged a bullet with that girl. I know she converted, but someone born of the Spirit does not behave like her. It hurts now, but is this better than...

    Adam

    1 Cor 15:45 says otherwise "So it is written: 'The first man Adam became a living being'; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit".

    Adam

    Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned How can we have all sinned in one man, if Adam was not the first person created and he was only an allegory? Adam was a person, who represented the...

    Adam

    What then, were the authors of Genesis 2-3 and of Romans 5, who both speak of Adam, intending to convey? Genesis 2-3 does not show any of signs of “exalted prose narrative” or poetry. It reads as the account of real events; it looks like history.

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

    But AI is more than just summary. AI is to use fake voices, fake images, videos and what not. Christians use AI for prayers, teachings, sermons. Where is the authenticity? Where is the heart that God desires? We worship the Lord with new hearts of flesh, and not like machines. Prayers, sermons...

    The two witnesses' activity chart

    Yes, it is one of the reason I believe they are the two witnesses The reason why I believe it to be Moses and Elijah is the miracles the two witnesses perform in Rev 11 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how...

    Adam

    I know there are Christians out there that do not hold the view the first 11 chapters of Genesis are literal history, Adam was not literal, God did not create everything in 6 days ets...because the science disproves this. If you do not believe in literal Adam, you then cannot believe in literal...

    Does atheism even really exist?

    According to Romans 1, God does not believe in atheists

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    The Ten Commandments, which Sabbath is part of, were not given until Exodus 16. Not Abraham, not Isaac, not Jacob, none of the patriarchs kept Sabbath (Fathers prior to Egypt did not keep the Sabbath: Deut 5:2-3 "The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. The Lord did not make this...

    Why Does the Bible Tell Us to Behave In Ways We Can’t? How Can Anyone Be Saved?

    Did Apostle Pal kept every single commandment of God? No. Thus he was a sinner in need of a Saviour. Have you learnt nothing from Paul's letters? Romans 3 “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no...

    Once you're saved, you don't matter anymore

    It is never ok to neglect people in the church, no matter if they are saved or not. And it is not Biblical Ezekiel 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord GOD: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    Col 2:16: “Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day - things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.' The Sabbath is gone. The Sabbath was the seventh day of the week...

    Lets have an open discussion on Heaven.

    There is no more prophets, and no more prophecies as the Bible is finished with the book of Revelation. We know from the Bible those who met the resurracted Christ fell to the ground like dead. And Paul said the things he saw in Heaven should not be speaked of, yet we have all these false...

    Why Does the Bible Tell Us to Behave In Ways We Can’t? How Can Anyone Be Saved?

    The commandments reflect God's Holy nature, and they show the sin within us. You are correct than not one of us can keep God's commandments. That's why God gave us the commandments, to show us that we need a Saviour who is Holy without sin, and this should lead a sinner to Christ.

    If Jesus implies in Matthew 12:46-50 that true family is not based on genes, how does this square with needing to be a descendant of the Hebrew kings?

    Jesus talks about the spiritual family. Those who love and obey God, are His family, His Heavenly family

    Faith/Works

    Good works don't lead to Salvation. The only evedince of Salvation is the Holy Spirit who produces good fruit in us. By His work in us we resemble Christ as Christians more and more.

    Faith/Works

    God is a Judge. And if anyone thinks they will pass through the Judge to Heaven based on anything other than the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, or they add anything to it, they will go to hell. Christ alone, by grace alone, by faith alone
