  • 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.

    Trickster Christ and the Second Fall: A New Framework for Understanding the Kingdom of God

    This study interprets the Kingdom of God as a divine drama where angelic autonomy exists through unilateral contradiction, and salvation emerges through the completion rather than reversal of the Fall. Please offer your critical views. The Kingdom of God exists within the divine mind as a...

    God's Punishment/Judgment - EO View

    The toughest part of belief in my view is how God will mete out punishment/ how we will be judged. I am not asking about myself but about "how it works". On the one hand, I know that God is a loving God and wants the best for us. And Christ has clearly laid out what is most important to Him...

    Easter According to Daniel

    A fresh look at the ‘seventy weeks’ prophecy. Jesus of Nazareth is revealed as the Anointed One who finished transgression, made an end of sins, and reconciled us to God. I bought this message to our church in Easter 2019, and have only now got it on the Internet for 2023. We were doing a...

    My Search for the Countdown to Christ’s Atonement

    What is redemption? How is redemptive suffering not an unjust whipping boy?

    St. John Paul II teaches that through our suffering we can share in Jesus' redemptive suffering and thereby help others achieve salvation. J. Sollier defines redemption as either 1) paying a ransom price for sin or 2) atonement for an offense. Together this raises two questions: How is...

    The Bible definition of Atonement and its many aspects

    As with all that God does -- there is "infinity" in the depth of His teaching, His concepts of Truth. For example - the Atonement: And some basic questions to keep in mind. Does God's definition for the full scope of atonement as He defines it in Lev 16 "Day of Atonement" end with Christ's...

    Substitutionary sacrifice

    I know Christ was offered as a sacrifice for our sins. I am wondering how is Christ as "Lamb of God" viewed in Orthodoxy different from Catholic Satisfaction Theory and the Penal Substitution?

    Substitutionary Atonement and Harrowing of Hell

    Since Christ, according to Lutherans, bore the wrath of God due to sinners, is it the case that Lutherans interpret Christ's descent to Hades as Christ suffering from the fires of Hell for three days?

    How did Christ's death change the Jewish traditions?

    When did the Jews stop offering animal sacrifices? Did they repair the curtain in the holy of holies? I know Jews still celebrate Yom Kippur for atonement of their sins, but my Jewish friends seem to be not quite sure why.

    Yom Kippur

    It is now the evening of the 18th where I am. As such, it is Yom Kippur. I've always found the symbolism of the Scapegoat especially poignant to Christ: The parallels to the Crucifixion, the blood spilt in Christ's passion, led into the wilderness, the tearing of the veil of the Holy of Holies...

    A problem with substitutionary atonement

    I've been reading the Bible and stumbled on this verse. 1 Cor 15:17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Paul says the resurrection was necessary for salvation, yet a SA model would not need a resurrection. Thoughts?

    What do y'all think about Christ's Atonement?

    What I mean by "Atonement" is the process that Christ went through in the garden of Gethsemane, his suffering on the cross, etc. What do y'all think really happened there? what is the significance of it? I would appreciate y'alls opinions.
