  • 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.

    Uncondition Election and the condition of the heart

    My question is when it comes to election, is it possible that God considers the condition of the heart as a criterion for his choice? I know the bible says that works don't come into play with election, but the condition of the heart isn't a work. It is said in the Old Testament that Josiah's...

    I became sick when I started reading about the Doctrine of Reprobation. Thoughts on it?

    Here is how I understand the doctrine of reprobation: "Reprobation is the sovereign decision of God before creation to pass over some persons, in sorrow deciding not to save them, and to punish them for their sins, and thereby to manifest his justice" At first I was hurt and had to walk away...

    Does God choose every person that will follow Him?

    If yes, why would he create some human just to let them parish in Hell. Let's try and focus mostly on the doctrine of Election.
  4. Who attempted to rig the elections - the DNC? or Russia?

    Much ado is made that the Russians exposed the degree to which the DNC had rigged not only the Democrat primary runnoff between Sanders and Clinton - but also the election debates themselves between Clinton and Trump. If these were just Russian journalists or DNC insiders they would all be...

    Is God sovereign or is He constrained by forms of government and the elected officials ?

    In light of what has ( and is ) transpiring in the US regarding the election, I thought this might be a timely discussion. Knowing that I will give an account for my every word, I ask that you respond in Christian charity and meekness. I do not want to cause debate that is not edifying or that...

    Trump claims millions of people voted illegally

    “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” Mr. Trump wrote Sunday afternoon... The series of posts came one day after Hillary Clinton’s campaign said it would participate in a recount effort...

    Two presidential electors encourage colleagues to sideline Trump

    Article Just a bit of an update on the Electoral College situation. It's highly unlikely that anything will come of it, but it's fascinating to watch.
  8. Hey Americans - VOTE

    Just reminding all those who haven't voted yet to do so Tuesday. If you are NOT in love with either Presidential candidate, still vote. There will be elections for Congress, possibly U.S. Senate, and state offices. Your vote has more clout in those state and local elections than in the...
  9. Hillary Clinton (A Debate on her Credibility, Temperament, and Track Record.)

    I believed that Hillary Clinton would win this election short of an FBI upset, which to the astonishment of many we're now seeing. The question now is how much support will she lose and how fast? It's late in the election cycle and we've seen record-breaking early voting this year, but if she...

    Proof US election is rigged - Vote shaving software discovered

    Trump suspected it but now there is proof. The software found can allocate votes to Hillary to make sure she wins. http://www.infowars.com/biggest-election-fraud-in-history-discovered-in-the-united-states-breaking-now/ Everyone should still go out and vote for Trump. If Hillary wins because...
  11. Trump won't say he will accept election results--Anarchy? Revolution?

    The most shocking statement of tonight's debate was when Trump would not state that he would accept the results of the Presidential election--meaning, of course, if he wasn't the winner. This is simply a repudiation of American democracy, and a denial of the basic tenet of our democracy. The...

    The elite will not allow Trump to win

    Do you think it's a coincidence all these allegations against Trump, all of which are completely unproven, are occurring 3 weeks before the election? Do you really think a woman who alleges she was "sexually assaulted" would wait 20 years to get "justice" a few weeks before that person was about...
  13. Inherently Conservative

    Earlier today I heard a Pastor say that Reformed theology was inherently conservative. It wasn't the first time I had heard that. Any thoughts on that statement? Is RT inherently conservative? Yours in the Lord, jm

    http://robertreich.org/post/144763032115 This is a recent blog by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich which has been picked up by various news sites.

    Prayer for Children who are have been planned for sacrifice

    Let us pray for all the children around the world. Some of them are struggling and many people are planning on using them for sacrifice to satisfy their selfish means. It is an election year in so many countries and these children would need to be protected. Let us pray for families that have...
  16. Grace pure grace!

    “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9) The grace of God, the ‘loving-kindness’ of God, the ‘favor’ of God, is never to be understood as something that is manifest among men based on...
  17. Antithesis...the way of the Christian.

    The Christian is to be antithetical where the Lord God and the truth of His word, the Holy Bible, are concerned. The unredeemed people of this fallen world, following the powers of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2), are haters and enemies of God (Romans 1:30, Romans 8:7). They cannot know Him or be...
