  • 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.

    Believer, hear O believer: you are going to have to repent, to the end, to have been saved

    Hi there, So I have struggled with this so much, and I can save you time: it won't make a difference - your salvation - unless you repent to the end (you really must commit). This is the seed that brings forth a hundred, sixty and thirty fold - the seed that takes root, and goes beyond...

    What has God said to our generation? It's heroes?

    Hi there, So yes, anything prophetic you can offer, here - would be great! I am just thinking about how to stay current with the work of God - like that He says He is with the poor and the destitute, in our generation specifically those that don't have a family home or a steady job. I don't...

    In faith, you may need to offer a gift, as a sign (that you believe you have recovered)

    Hi there, So as a testimony, if you have been struggling with mental health, you may need to offer a gift as a sign (that you believe you have recovered). This is Matthew 8:4. This will help you, not to look to yourself, for recovery - but also, it will give glory to God. You don't have to be...

    Has anyone ever been saved, by listening to Christian music?

    Hi there, Just wanted to present a show of faith, for people who have been saved, by Christian music. I was challenged spiritually, by worldly music and have slowly recovered. I was just wondering if maybe the opposite had happened, if Christian music had the power to save... Anyway, I imagine...

    Just a question: is it possible, to 'evolve' an oxymoron?

    Hi there, So you might wonder what this is about, basically I am just testing a train of thought: The point being, that the idea is that you can evolve, either what you know or how you know it - but not everything falls into these categories. For example, "oxymorons". The idea of a man animal...

    God is able: to warn us - of which Evolution, was next!

    Hi there, So this is where I stand! I have finally grasped, what my trust in God, specifically is: This is a lifelong thing, the Devil has no such power. It doesn't need a lot of discussion, I basically came to an agreement within myself, that I was going to stop trying to develop a greater...

    Implications that “it pleased the Father” for “all the fullness” to dwell in Jesus (Col. 1:19, NKJV)

    Colossians 1:19 states (NKJV): For it pleased [the Father that] in Him all the fullness should dwell. Now, the New King James Version supplies "the Father," but to my knowledge, most understand the Father as the one referred to here. In saying "it pleased the Father" that "all the fullness"...

    I spoke to God and he spoke back (need help understanding)

    Hello, I’m new here. I am not overly familiar with religion, and need some help understanding a recent experience I had as it still does not make total sense to me. this may sound strange to some, but I spoke with God recently. Been going through a difficult time as of late in all areas of...

    We are predetermined, together - the Devil hated all of us

    Hi there, So yes, it took me a long time to get perspective behind Jim Brown's much vaunted concept of "predeterminism" - the idea that our steps are ordered by God - and having finally got that perspective, I wanted to share with you how to progress through it. It starts with accepting that...

    By faith, you are required to call something "evolved", even when you don't see *how*?

    Hi there, So I've been told many times that faith and science don't mix, but there is interpretation of science that science on its own can't understand: namely, The point being that the assumption certain "things" are evolved, limits what can actually (evolve). This is not to say that...

    Swapping out, that which does not match the "peak" - is more effective than Evolution

    Hi there, So I want to introduce a very simple concept: swapping out. Swapping out, is the idea that a single member of a species can develop an affinity, with exemplars in the species, such that when a child is born to it, that child will have some of the strengths of those exemplars. This can...

    Newer Man, is needed more than older lineage (ape or otherwise)

    Hi there, So the crux of this, is that you should take far lesser confidence in having come from anything, even if it seems more remarkable at first, that you did at all. What is needed is a newer you. This is hard, in and of itself. Even if you did come from apes, and it seemed even more...

    There is 'Great Suffering', and 'Nominal Suffering' - God won't deal with all suffering at once

    Hi there! So I hit upon a truth, that might shed some light on what we mean, by "suffering": The point is that Great Suffering is intense and primary, you can't necessarily do something about it - but when you do, it is a great relief. This is like the quandary of the soul - what to do with it...

    What's the right way to say "whatever the beginning *was*, it wasn't a pretext for isolated change"?

    Hi there, So I am standing out on my own, at this point - I'm not saying "look at the Bible", I'm not saying "look at anything" - I just want to understand this fundamental point: whatever the beginning was, it was not a pretext for isolated change? The point is that once people typically have...

    Identically evolved suitors, seeking the same mate, can only be chosen by emotion

    Hi there, So just looking at a hypothetical, here: if two identically evolved suitor seek the same mate, they can only be chosen on the basis of emotion. This means that a better emotional tenor for Evolution, will out evolved a less emotional one. Reconciling this, can only lead to a stronger...

    Scientific method: if I have the theory, I can't be startled - all I need is to test...

    ...is how startled I would have been? If the theory helps me discern how startled I am, from how startled I would have been: I can commit to being righteous, about how effective the startling I am is to others, who do not have the same angle, on the same truth (as they would have, if they had...

    The right selection pressure, and we would see "men" come from apes, *again*?

    Hi there, So this is not meant to make you feel uncomfortable, but: I mean the apes are just waiting, to be people, right? That's your contention?

    What if I believe it sometimes, and not at other times?

    Hi there, So I don't even want to single out a specific faith, at this point in time - I just want to posit the question: I mean what is your framework, for "rest" if you will? Is the theory active "at rest" or "dormant"? Is dormancy a better readiness to respond, than "denial"? The point...

    Christ vouched, for your works,, on the cross (selah)

    Hi there, So we know that Jesus said "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do" on the Cross, but what we understand little of, is that Christ mixed this with faith, even as He died. Christ knew He was not trying to save the righteous, but that righteousness be fulfilled, He ensured...
