  • 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.

    Your Sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55 ESV “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” Because the first man Adam sinned against God, all have sinned. For, because of Adam’s sin, God put a curse upon humans and on the earth. We are, thus, all born under the curse of sin and...

    Abundance of Grace

    Through One Man Romans 5:12-14 ESV 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— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from...

    Betrayed To Death

    Condemned to Death Matthew 20:17-19 NIV Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will...

    Death & Resurrection - What happens?

    I was talking to a hospice nurse , after the Good Friday service, in church today about her experience of patients dying. This conversation provoked some questions. As a believer I believe that I like Jesus will one day die (unless he comes back before that) and then will be resurrected. But...

    Numbers - Putting People to Death

    Hello! So, in my Leviticus discussion we began to bleed into Numbers, so I thought I'd just make a new thread so I could do some additional discussion without spamming the last one. So, there are a few different passages in Numbers (and Leviticus, and the OT in general) that discuss people...

    The Things Above Colossians 3:1-4 ESV If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in...

    Leviticus - Both the book, and specific passages

    So, I do one of those bible in one year devotionals, right? And I'm in Leviticus. There are a lot of things that just don't align with new-testament teachings, or the way that I have been lead to treat others. So I want to go over some of these and my misconceptions. I understand that we are not...

    Walking Past

    There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh...

    Turns out the big surprise is that every night - your body sleeps.

    The Bible deals with the body sleeping in the following examples Adam fell into a deep sleep and God took a rib and made Eve. (Adam was not dead ) Jacob falls asleep on a rock in Genesis -- and woke up the next morning. Jesus was sleeping in the boat during a bad storm... not dead in the boat...

    Life

    If one was to be asked what is the central proclamation of the Christian gospel many would answer like me "Jesus Christ is Lord." If we are asked what is a core belief some would answer "life." Jesus said he had come to give life and to give it more abundantly and John says that his life is...

    Letter To The Faithful - The Flesh !

    Do you not know with freedom comes easily the corruption of the flesh. For Christ rose so that you may be free from all laws of the curse. For the curse made us slaves to the darkness of this world and of the flesh. Then why do, so many return and willingly chain themselves; only to be in...
