  • 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.

    The Near/Far Phenomenon in Bible Prophecy

    This thread is for sharing examples of Near/Far fulfilment of prophecy. It is commonly known as ‘Dual’ or ‘Double’ fulfilment but such terms suggest prophecy might be re-enacted exactly. That is not what is meant. Near/Far prophecy happens when a prediction takes place sometime after the...
