  • 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

    How limited is the god of open theism?

    " Clark Pinnock said, “The future is really open and not available to exhaustive foreknowledge even on the part of God. It is plain that the biblical doctrine of creaturely freedom requires us to reconsider the conventional view of the omniscience of God”[" Open Theism: Is God’s Limited...

    So I have started questioning selection pressure, like can a s.p. pull one species into another?

    Hi, Yes, I have started questioning "selection pressure". I have two thoughts: one, that selection pressure is an over-arching force, that homogenizes everything that comes under its sway - this is a generalized selection pressure (like everything alive, needs to drink, sort of thing) - and the...

    My testimony

    Hello, my name is Richard, a few years ago I was a 450 lbs man who could barley walk. I had weight loss surgery 5 years ago but had barley lost any weight due to my overeating. I ate all day and it was beyond control. I binge ate food all day, usually a diet of Wendy's and Pepsi. No matter how...

    So if first a fish, then a giraffe, then an elephant - my "Evolution" has a greater span?

    Hi there, So I am trying to work out, what the mechanism behind "Evolution" is and from what I am told, what you were to begin with, makes a difference, that is, the succession of development from one creature to the next "culminates" in something. Following this logic, the more steps that you...

    What if I share, as a rule? It really makes no difference, what I could share with you?

    Hi there, So I am not doing more than corner "a premise" and seeing if that acts as a success, in relation to your assessment of what it means. The premise is that "sharing is a constructive addition to Evolution" (subtext: the more Evolution shares, the better it is) and I am cornering it, by...

    So I've worked out, that Creation is just as true as Evolution (really?)

    Hi there, So yes, you are privileged to hear my take on Evolution before I brave the waters of the Science forum - its actually very simple: Evolution promises change, through successive adaptations; Creation promises change, through variations of a kind. What does this mean? It means that...

And then I ended up doing it again he said to stop hitting him. And I said...

    I am struggling with my walk with Christ. Any help??

    I grew up in a Christian family for most of my life and I have attended Sunday school. I don't know what is wrong with me because it seems like I am not a normal person anymore. I have read parts of the Bible where it says that God hates sinners. I have something wrong with me because I started...

    Evolution that needs to change, is called "Evolution": Evolution that doesn't need to change, is...?

    Hi there, So just a simple observation: how something begins, is not how it ends. We say "the beginning" is "the beginning" and things follow it; we say "the end" is "the end" and things lead up to it - well, when you call something "the Evolution" you say "it will change" so theoretically, you...

    Paul died once ( I could be wrong)

    This video is speaking on Paul and his writings to the Philippians ; mention Paul was stoned, no he didn't get high, to death and brought back to life but this could be wrong. He was thrown into prison though. Either way here are the scriptures used. Philippians 4: 11 Not that I speak in...

    I have openly confessed, that I gave my heart to Satan - but now realize he doesn't care

    Hi there, So something that has vexed me for an enormous amount of time, is that while sleeping on a bean bag listening to heavy metal, I awoke and uttered the words "Satan take my heart". I had no context for saying this thing, and had already previously confessed sin to God, at a Church in...

    Is your religion, an empty whale?

    Hi there, I got this idea by combining Jesus words that "greater than Jonah is here" and "remember Lot's wife": resulting in the words "is your religion, an empty whale?" since we can remember Jonah's whale, the same way we remember Lot's wife, but we can also question whether our recollection...

    The Devil is never happy, with your schizophrenia (or mental condition)

    Hi there, So just to give you a view from the mountain top, I have wrestled with my schizophrenia since my twenties and I have learned: He doesn't want you to give it to him, but he doesn't want you to give it to anyone else, either. He's scared. He thinks you will outfox him, or take off with...

    Jesus relaxes more, after the cross, not less!

    Hi there, So yes, there is a strong undercurrent of peace, in Jesus ("My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives, but I give you my peace"). He says of Himself "My yoke is easy and my burden is light". To His Disciples He says "come aside by yourselves for a while and rest". When the...

    Enter the Mystery - not the words

    Hi there, So I have been studying the word, week to week, for some time now - trying to memorize as much of it as possible. Not to boast (I certainly don't want to do that) but I have even tried visualizing words, that I think Jesus might have said - with a little help from the Holy Spirit. But...
