  • 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.

    Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword: you are guilty if you *don't* want to fight someone!

    Hi there, So, this is just a short thought: Premise one: Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword (He said) Premise two: the truth condition of a sword, is given by the question "who is it against?" Premise three: Jesus' Word, is always true Conclusion: there is always someone, whom...

    James : explained.

    "faith without works is dead". I will show you my salvation by my FAITH... Lot of confusion about "dead faith", because heretics twist this phrase into "dead salvation" or "lost your salvation". And of course, James is not talking about salvation, he's talking about public discipleship, where...

    "Evolution", word. "Sexual selection", two words.

    Hi there, EDIT: I know my wording can be a little formidable to understand, at times - skip to the last line, if you just want to give a take on the concept I am working with. So this might seem banal, to make a comparison on a numeric basis,, of a broader theory, but also its being...

    African Examples Of Love And Praise

    This week, I thought I would share three experiences that helped me see the heart of God. All of these came from a Youth with a Mission trip to Zimbabwe in the 1980s. Our group was ministering in a village. I call it a village but it really was a white farmer's plantation, where the workers had...

    "in" Christ

    "In Christ" - "In Him" - "In Whom" Religion is about what you do, your good works, law keeping, giving, church attendance, prayer & so on. The Gospel is about what Christ did. His sacrificial, sin atoning Death, Burial & Resurrection. And when we trust Him, it is about what He does...

    Is it OK to give ?

    - Probably the first tithe was given by : Gen 14:17-20: “at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he...

    Battling sin vs. Justifying sin (An explanation on 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 3:9).

    Battling sin vs. Justifying sin: (An explanation on 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 3:9): Modern Translations will say practice sin or continue in sin in 1 John 3:9 (as if to say it is talking exclusively of practicing sin), but this is not the case in the trusted KJV (that existed hundreds of years...

    Seek the Welfare

    Jeremiah 29:7 ESV “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Where does the Lord have you in this life? Where has he placed you? He has a reason for you to be there. He has something...

    Understanding Christ: A Look Through The Book Of Luke - Luke 6

    There is a reason why the caption for this series says: UNDERSTANDING CHRIST: A Look through the Book of Luke. It is a look through the book of Luke for given the time frame we have we cannot fully exhaust the contents of the book of Luke in one month. So pardon me if my blog post tends to...

    Someone help me: as a Creationist, I have God; as a would be Evolutionist, I have what?

    Hi there, So of course the natural reaction is "you have faith: good for you". But I think it goes more deeply than that. I think having a God, at the very least, means that I have something for Evolutionists could believe, if only I knew what. I know the theory: call that which was not, as if...

    I told Jesus I believe in Him. What do I do now?

    I’ve had a lot of problems for a while which some of you probably know. Also for many years I’ve drifted in and out of church as I feared my salvation but then for periods didn’t seem to do anything about it. I find it hard to care about people and have empathy. But I have the thoughts “Do I...
