  • 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

    Scriptural Christianity

    The main issue that Jesus, the prophets, and apostles seem to be concerned about is sin. The scriptures go to great lengths to help us understand what it is, how it manifests, the results of it, who can overcome it and how, etc. What I have found to be the source of almost all...

    Why I'm discontent with my Protestantism

    Happy Easter! He is Risen! :blacksunrays: If you've been following my other musings the past couple days, you probably know a little of what I'm going through... how I'm questioning my Protestant heritage, and struggling with how to read Church history and remain a Protestant. If you're new to...

    What if we ALL prayed like this?

    This is a post from another thread, but what if we all prayed for each other: Baptists for Methodists; Calvinists for Messianics; Catholics for Jehovah's Witnesses...and vice versa, etc...do you believe The Creator would bless such prayer? The enemy can divide us over disagreements over words...

    Ephesians 2:20 the gifts of Apostle & prophet were for the foundation of the church

    “having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,” (Ephesians 2:20, NASV). The apostles were only for the FOUNDATION of the Church, whilst the other ministries such as pastor and evangelist are for the entire history of the...

    John 10:30 I and the Father are one: does NOT prove Oneness Pentecostalism!

    ‘I and my Father are one.’ (John 10:30, KJV). ‘ego kai ho patar ev esmen: (John 10:30: The Nestles Greek text). ‘I ((Subject)) and ((conjunction)) my Father ((object)) are ((verb 1st-person-plural)) one ((adjective)).’ (John 10:30, KJV). Oneness people would need to explain the use...

    The Oneness Pentecostals and the Baptismal Formula

    1. The exact wordings and even the Greek prepositions differ widely between these so called Oneness baptismal proof texts found at Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19. At Acts 2:38 we read “in (εἰς eis) the name Jesus Christ,” at Acts 8:16 and 19:5 we read; “in (εἰς eis) the name Lord Jesus,” and lastly...

    Oneness Pentecostals claim that Jesus is God the Father!

    ‘Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.’ (2nd John 3). The text here reads; ‘God the Father.’ I point this out because certain Oneness folk have at times suggested that the term ‘God the Father’ is an...

    Do Apostolics (Oneness Pentecostals) deny the Son of God?

    “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but...

    Hello everyone! From a newbie

    Hello there! I joined the forum in search of some advice and guidance. I used to attend church as a child, and as a teenager left as I didn't feel comfortable. Recently, I've been drawn back to faith. I attended a service in a different church, at which I felt far more at home, welcomed and...

    Protestants: Why is Apostolic Succession unimportant to you?

    I am looking into Christianity, and in doing so I find it difficult to fathom how someone could be a Christian without being a member of a Church that can trace its faith, teachings, and authority back to the Apostles (like the Orthodox Church or Catholic Church). These Churches to me seem to...
