  • 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

    "Why should I let you into my heaven?"

    If you were to stand before God and he were to ask you, "Why should I let you into my heaven?", what would you say?

    If you can't stop (I know the feeling), choose someone you know can trust to lust after

    Hi there, Yeah so you might need to pray about this, that God give you someone you know you can trust to objectify "sexually" - someone you would marry, if you had the choice. The point being that you lust after this one person and only one person - even if you are tempted to lust after...

    It will be a couple of Days, before Israel knows what has happened, to the elect

    Hi there, So yes, the Bible says "A Day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years, as one day" (from memory). Therefore, though Israel may face the tribulation and the testing of the Elect, Israel will not know what has happened until a couple of Days after the fact. In part...

    John 15:5. "Without me you can do nothing" *but* 'neither need you do *everything* with Me'

    Hi there, So I thought this was a neat angle, on something Jesus said - something which is hard to learn: that is, Jesus said (the emphasis being on "apart from Me you can do nothing") This seems daunting, at first, because there is a lot we would like to be able to do, without Jesus, or at...

    Prayer request for my Christian friend and their family

    Hello, I'm currently learning about Christianity and a close friend of mine is helping me with some questions I have and we regularly discuss the Bible and scriptures. The church they belong to is a "Message" church. They don't necessarily believe in "The Message" because of the emphasis on...

    I'm of two minds, about whether I want a mental health condition, in *Heaven*?

    Hi there, So yes, you can tell I'm an old hand at this, from the title. I have been on the ins and outs of schizophrenia for a couple of decades now and I have to say it hasn't all been roses. It started out with my sense of meaning slipping from reality and became a full blown delusion about...

    I was in despair, "how can I be saved, once and for all?" then I saw Heavenly Word:

    Hi there, I was in despair, saying to myself "how can I be saved, once and for all?" because it seemed that there was no end to my sin - only more repentance, without end... and I saw this Heavenly Word on the images page of a search for immutable mercy: ...and I realised, it is actually an...

    Look at your mental health condition, as it hangs on the Cross

    Hi there, Yes, so just to bring the healing of the Lord into focus: we can see our mental health conditions, as they hang on the Cross. We can see depression there, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, mania, tourettes, aspergers, all of it - we can see Jesus suffering for these things at the...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    Presupposition: mutation comes before adaptation - justified *how*?

    Hi there, So I guess I am assuming you are some kind of expert on "Evolution" and that if I question the integrity of the theory, you will as an agent with a mind, be able to pull the theory apart and examine the part of it, that I think could be improved upon? For example, the presupposition...

    It is fitting that the Anti-Christ withhold the resurrection: to weigh the Devil down

    Hi there, So this is topical for the prophecy of our times: The faith has wrestled with the fear of the Anti-Christ, from generation to generation, but I declare prophetically here, that the Holy Spirit will work this impasse for the Father's Glory! The Anti-Christ is able to withhold the...

    The Lord has repeatedly HEALED me of desperate pain

    Here’s how i get deliverance from awful nagging pain. When i feel ongoing pain and have prayed and prayed, and the pain just remains, i sit down and confront it with the name of Jesus. Its so hurtful to think God just sits back and watches us suffer and wont provide an answer. But, if you...

    The Devil does not want us to be of one mind, as believers - we need to get angry at him

    Hi there, So I was just watching the times with my brother and I was saying "we need to get angry at the Devil, that he persecutes us" and my brother was saying "I believe the Glory Days of the Church are over" and it dawned on me "the Devil does not want us to be of one mind" that is "thinking...

    Help me understand something the Lord taught me: "joy is in the doing through surrendering"

    Hi there, So this is like a fragment, of something the Holy Spirit inspired me with and I wonder what you make of it: It is a little similar to "my strength is made perfect through weakness" found in the letters, but the emphasis is on "building" (rather than "making"). It is about building...

    There is an adaptation, none of your ancestors had; an expectation, you have to wait for

    True, yes, How do I know this? I know this, because God has not created everything that is in His power to Create. God is able to Create more! That God is always able to Create more, means that anyone who believes in Him, is able to live above mere survival. Everything that was Created in...

    There is something God can't create, before you get to Heaven! He's waiting to share it with you!

    Hi there, So this is a really simple thought, but typically we think of God as someone who created in the past. But God is not just a God of the past, He is also a God of the future. He has created everything, yes, but there is something (even many things) that God cannot create for you, until...

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God." What exactly is enough...

    If selection pressure waned and waxed, such that the species started again: what'd you do better?

    Hi there, So yes, simple question: The point being, you would have hindsight about the Evolutionary process, as applied to your population? Just looking for your thoughts on this, thanks. EDIT: In Christianity, we have a concept called "quickening", where if you know what to do and you agree...

    Just to stretch your imagination: under the right conditions an insect, can become an animal?

    Hi there, So this is just to work out, what it is you are saying your strength is: apes can become men, but can insects become animals? I mean there is nothing to suggest that it would not be a similar evolution, right? As would be a broader development, of "evolutions"? You could...

    How are we going to deal with the Christian "Stereotype" (the World's stereotype for us)?

What I mean is, you are entitled to be loved on the basis of the...
