  • 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.

    Men fear public speaking more than death, because they don't respect the dead's words before them

    Hi there, So just to share an insight based on what Jesus said: Men fear public speaking more than death, because they don't respect the words of the dead before them. As Jesus said, "if they persecute Me, they will persecute you. If they obeyed Me, they would obey you" (John 15:20), why...

    "They shall all be taught by God" (Isa.), at God's coming will be "they shall all speak healing"

    Hi there, So there is a context sensitive verse in the gospels, quoted from Isaiah, that they shall all be taught by God - that is, you will not need to explain what you mean, to others, anymore, they shall understand what it means to speak of God (and His teaching). What is interesting is that...

    Christianity has all manner of kinds - is that Evolution's goal also?

    Hi there, This is basically an "if not, why?" sort of thread. The point is, Christianity differentiates different themes of different kinds, so as to try to capture as much nuance of faith in Jesus' words, as possible. This is clearly a deeply rooted and successful strategy in disseminating...

    Not that "before Evolution: you must become a fish", but Jesus never said "before man, be ape"

    Hi there, So there are two directions this thread is going to take: one, is that you can believe what you want; two, you can distinguish what you believe from the world. The first point, pertains to the idea that I am not asking you to be something you are not: you are a man and I understand...

    How can I interpret the words of Jesus Christ and apply it to my life??

    I have tried to read the Bible several times but I have some trouble understanding what the message of what it is talking about. There are just some passages that I am very confused about and that makes me get lost because I have the wrong interpretation. I just constantly get lost and I...

    A mutation ceases to provoke adaptation, to a particular selection pressure: design to the rescue?

    Hi there, So this is just a hypothetical: if a mutation ceases to provoke adaptation, to a particular selection pressure, will "Design" come to the rescue (where random change would only hinder)? Will "Design" ensure that the rest of the adaptation is fulfilled, before the creature gives up and...

    Worried and concerned

    Hi, My relationship with Jesus isn’t the best. I’m worried because I don’t really feel emotions for Jesus. I’ve been Christian since start of may 2020. I don’t have a close relationship with Him. [Jesus]. I feel scared because I’m not close to Him. He scares me and I’m scared because He...

    Is this Chinese lady praying to God in the Chinese "Three Kingdoms" TV series?

    At 1 Minute 30 seconds in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Episode 2, according to the English subtitles, the noblewoman prays to "God" in front of a shrine. I am wondering, since I can't understand Chinese, is this referring to Tien/Heaven/Heavenly God, or to another specific deity?

    Can God bless us?

    Good afternoon, This question may seem obvious or to certain points. After realizing that He does bless us with glory and salvation through His son Jesus Christ I wonder about more. Does God bless us with deeper meanings? Are we given a life with a plan full of His blessing? Does He continue...

    Given no new selection pressures, the peak adaptation of a species need not provoke change

    Hi there, So it seems evident that there is a massive unknown, here: what if there are no "new" selection pressures? What if the driving force behind change, is answered? Would you say 'no, Evolution needs to invent selection pressures, to provoke itself with'? What would be the sense of that...

    Why a scientific concentration above 90% in dialogue, hampers sociological discovery

    Hi there, So just to point out the obvious, but the more you say you know something, because its based on a theory you know, the harder it is to make successive gains in the same field. In other words, if I am a science boffin and all that interests me is greater and greater fanciful theorizing...

    New concept: both Evolution and Creation make use of the "Master Design"

    Hi there, So yes, I have this concept called "the Master Design". To refer to the Master Design, you simply take a parallel between yourself and Jesus. If Jesus had an arm, you have an arm; if Jesus worked with that arm, you are able to work with that arm. Every species has its own Master...

    If a mutation can develop, a mutation can decay?

    Hi there! So I am just wondering where you stand on this: its basically a question aimed at whether the working component of Evolution ("mutation") is able to be polarized, or not? Like when you are in a car, you say "if I can turn left, I can turn right" - the whole premise of steering is not...

    What limits would this put on God

    Claiming that matter is eternal at creation strikes me as being contrary to the nature of God. So, the claim that God is limited to eternal laws and eternal matter would limit our Lord how?

    Rainer Maria Rilke ~

    I live my life in widening rings, that stretch out over all things. I will not complete the last one perhaps but I shall try. I circle around God, around the ancient tower, and I circle for thousands of years; and still I know it not: am I a falcon, a storm or a great song. from: The Book of Hours

    How can I live a Holy life for Jesus?

    Hello everyone I am so scared right now. There was a video that I watched a long time ago. It was about a Korean girl who may have went to hell and she claimed to have seen people being tortured there. It sounds extremely gruesome and harsh to watch. I have seen some of it but I didn't actually...

    Deuteronomy 6:4 One in Unity/Oneness.

    Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: Parsing Deut 6:4: The Hebrew word Echad translates ONE & means "ONE in UNITY" not singularity. Top synonym for the word unity = oneness. Another examples of echad: Gen 2:24 echad speaks about the husband & wife being ONE flesh...

    Here's a likeable thread: name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like

    Hi there, So I will kick this thread off: Name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like! It can be anything... (Jesus said, "by their fruits you will know them")
