  • 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

    Is nationalism a good or bad thing?

    I believe that nationalism strengthens individual countries and brings everyone in the nation closer together. Do you think that nationalism is good for a country's people or not?

    Language, Culture and Religious Denomination

    It is an interesting fact that if we superimpose the world's language families over the dominant religious traditions in an area, we find a remarkable similarity. Germanic countries like England, Lowland Scotland, Scandinavia or the Netherlands tend to be Protestant. Romance countries like...

    What would you like to see change in the Church?

    Biblical truth will never change. It's just true. But how we communicate that should always be changing in order to reach an ever changing culture. Worship, gather times, small groups, teaching style, the look and feel of a building, etc should always be changing to reach a changing demographic...
