  • 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.

    Can somebody explain Exodus 12:12 to me?

    Exodus 12:12 specifically states that the Lord said He would "bring judgement against all the gods of Egypt." Forgive my confusion, but why did God bring His judgement against something that doesn't exist?

    Interview with Julia Ibrahim, survivor of the bus attack: "I want to go there with them."

    This tiny child, this witness, has some words for the terrorists, and words to say about the seven relatives she lost that day when the workers of iniquity decided to attack a bus full of pilgrims, including children such as her. She reaffirms her identity as a Christian and reports that...

    "We are all going to die for the Lord. We don't belong to earth; we belong to Heaven."

    The Orthodox faith of the Coptic Church shines through the darkness in the wake of the bus attack in El Minya. We are once again blessed to have so many martyrs, all witnesses to Christ and powerful intercessors for the believers. The martyrs are our strength, the cross is our life, the Lord is...
