  • 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

    Filioque and the Protestant West

    I am aware a lot of people do not know what it is, so here is the very short story. At the Council of Constantinople 381 the Nicene Creed was established. At the Council of Ephesus in 435 anathemas we declared against those who added to or took away from the Creed At the Council of Chalcedon in...

    Nicene Creed, Apostles Creed, or Athanasian Creed: Which is Your Favorite?

    Which is your favorite traditional Christian creed from the three options in the poll? It doesn't have to be your favorite for doctrinal reasons (Though it can be), you can just like the word usage or have fond memories of hearing it recited at mass or whatever. I'm going with the Nicene...
