  • 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.

    An Open Discussion on the Church and Homosexuality

    re-imagining your church due to pandemic

    Today, I was thinking of ways to continue having church during this time of crisis. I would not consider cancelling a good option.

    Do not repeat what they did

    Back then some Israelites were so blinded by the book (Old Testament) that they couldn’t recognize their Messiah and even opposed and denied Him. Then God started to reveal Himself through people of all nations. And now some of us got so blinded by the New Testament theologies that we are not...

    A (now-relevant) question on 1 Corinthians 10:17

    I've come across a question that carries with it present significance during the coronavirus pandemic: 1 Corinthians 10:17 says, "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread" (NASB). Is this "one body" the universal church (all Christians...

    Why Do People Go To Church?

    A common term used in today's Christian Religion is to "go to church." However, when put in proper perspective this term makes about as much sense as asking someone how much does the color black weigh. The Church, the Body of Christ, is not a place to go to, but rather it is a true spiritual...

    The false Church thinks forgiving the anti-Christ, means forgiving the Devil?

    Hi there, So this is the litmus test, for any believer (in principle): if you understood you were forgiven, even to the point that you forgave what the anti-Christ did, would you forgive the Devil? The problem is, if you would forgive the Devil, what would you forgive the Devil for? He doesn't...

    Should We Not Mourn?

    “It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2 ESV Sexual...
