  • 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

    Stop Debating With ...

    I don't know if anyone has posted a thread like this one before. I'm still new here (on CF) and I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know if this is in the right forum. Here goes: I know that many Christians (myself included) enjoy having heated debates with atheists and other...

    What's your opinion on healing ministries?

    I'm expressly against healing ministries in the vein of those who 'touch to heal' and whatnot, as I find it rooted in pagan practices and not historic Christianity, in which healings were dramatic and obviously of God and were real and lasting.

    GLITTERING GENERALITIES

    "A glittering generality (also called glowing generality) is an emotionally appealing phrase so closely associated with highly valued concepts and beliefs that it carries conviction without supporting information or reason. Such highly valued concepts attract general approval and acclaim. Their...

    The four horsemen of the Apocalypse, rethought

    I’ve been recently researching the horsemen. And I’ve thought, what if we understood this wrongly. I believe that the horsemen are here, causing apocalyptic traits. And we have to destroy then, not wait for them. For all our lifetime we’ve had War, Famine, Death and Disease. Which are what the...

    Christians and Psychology

    I am a Christian and I love psychology. I know that some Christians take offense to this, my own father included, and I'm curious why. Why is it so controversial for a Christian to be interested in psychology? Is it somehow wrong for us to investigate how the brain works?

    Can those who aren't saved truly love?

    This is an honest question that I've been pondering for some time and I'd like to see what you all think. "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1 John 4:16 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God...

    Monergism VS Synergism VS Catholic Soteriology

    I tend to loathe aspects of everyone's theology/soteriology, and am going to posit my own. 1. God foreordained those in Himself, yet He is not the author of sin, because He decreed such things once the Fall went through, therefore dodging the 'is God the author of sin?' question. 2. I believe...

    Are you a Continuationist or a Cessationist?

    Continuationism: Charismatic, Pentecostal, etc. Cessationism: Most Baptists, Presbyterians, etc. I vote Cessationist.

    Should Women be Allowed to Pastor Churches?

    My opinion is no, according to Scriptures. In any other position, I would think otherwise. e.g. A woman can teach children and other women. A woman can be an assistant.

    Is Christian Metal Sinful?

    My previous poll had an incorrect question. I want to fix it by asking the question I intended to ask instead of what I asked before. For example... Disciple Demon Hunter early Norma Jean Red Mortification Love and Death (basically 'Christian' Korn) etc. I want these things for replies: 1...

    work matters...

    OBJECTOR: The other day I was reading the book of Galatians, and it struck me how much emphasis Paul places on faith as the means of salvation. Then I asked myself how Catholics can believe in justification by works. If the Catholic Church really believes the Bible, as it claims, how can it...

To my pleasant surprise, as of writing this, over 300 users have taken interest in the discussion. The problem: I want to reply to each and every single one of them...
