  • 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.

    Serving The Kingdom Of Heaven

    Today's manmade church system has drifted far from how Jesus taught us to live. Mankind cannot serve two masters and will choose to serve the kingdom of heaven or to continue to serve the kingdom of this world ruled by Satan. Those who reject the truth of the gospel will perish in the end...

    Genesis: Beginning of Dry Land, not Planet Earth

    I believe the bible in its entirety to be inspired by Yahweh Elohim (whom most people call God.) Because of that, I believe that Genesis 1 is not about the creation of Planet Earth but about the creation of one small part of it - the raising of the land that was underwater between the Nile and...

    What it means to fear God

    This is what it means to fear God... Judgment day is today; the eyes of the judge are on you at this very moment, so prove your case to him while it is time. A blind faith that Jesus came so that God's eyes have been made blind to a corrupted life is an ignorant hope. Jesus came to show each...

    What abbout heaven?

    The heaven is the place where all is good is what people told me. If you have only known suffering here, there all will be different. But just a quick scenario, if you love someone who is a staunch atheist and will go to hell for his/her sins. But you repented you will go to heaven. Wont that...

    The Devil has been shut out of Heaven; the End is in sight

    Hi there, So just to fill in the gaps, Revelation says that a war broke out in Heaven (between the Devil and the Lord's angels) - this war, spiritually ended with the Devil shut out of Heaven. There is reason to believe that the Devil won't war again, until it is on Earth - where he will...

    conclusion of christmas in heaven

    “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has told us about.” Luke 2:13-15 NIV. This...

    CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

    The first Christmas was celebrated more than two thousand (2000) years ago in Bethlehem of Judah, Israel. It was initiated in heaven and celebrated in both heaven and earth. It all started when God sent His only begotten Son from His heavenly glories to be born in a manger as an innocent...

    The Last Child

    The sun shone brightly. Children of all ages milled around him, laughing and shouting. Today was the big day. The last day. After today, there would be no more. The village had been all but abandoned. Crumbling buildings and broken glass, a few empty cans were all that was left to remind them of...

    Heaven: a perfect state or a progressively fulfilling state?

    I have been reading Hans Boersma's Seeing God:The Beatific Vision in Christian Tradition (see below). There seems to be two general schools of thought concerning the state of the saints in heaven. 1. The perfect state: The saints in heaven are in perfect bliss. This is usually accounted for by...

    Pets in Heaven?

    Will our deceased pets be in heaven? What about animals that were never pets? Consider the following quote from C.S. Lewis: "The theory I am suggesting... makes God the centre of the universe and man the subordinate centre of terrestrial nature: the beasts are not co-ordinate with man, but...

    Joy in Heaven

    Luk 15:7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. Luk 15:10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” So from Jesus' words when one sinner...

    Is there a "reverse Heaven"?

    Hi there, Just wondering what you thought about this: if there is a Heaven, there must be a "reverse Heaven" (where everything you wished had not happened, for example, goes back to the way it was; or for another example, somewhere that good lost, now good wins)? When I meditate, it is sort of...

    Leaven From Heaven?

    Hi there! Years ago, I was a member of a church that had it's apostolic succession from the Church of the East (Nestorian Church). I had learned of a curious idiosyncratic belief from the Assyrian Church known as "the Leaven from Heaven". There was a book written in the middle ages...

    Heaven's Law

    I wondered the following in another thread and it was kind of drifting off topic, so I am giving it a realm of is own!: Galatians 6:8 "For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." 2 Corinthians 9:6...

    Has the war between Satan and Michael happened already?

    Revelation 12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

    Not saved

    I was brought up in church and Jesus/God was very important to me and I was fearful of God. Then I turned 15 and sat beside an atheist in my religious studies class and he never said anything in particular that made me doubt but the number of things he'd say to me gave doubt over time and I...

    Should We Really Want To Be On Earth Rather Than Heaven? Does The Bible Give Us That Option?

    All of the wonderful Jehovah’s Witnesses that have come to my door have expressed no desire for a heavenly hope. Their desire is to be on Paradise Earth forever. And what could be wrong with good food, a nice house, domesticated wild animals and beautiful scenery? The problem is the...

    Primordial Heaven, before Genesis 1:1 and after?

    I suppose God made Heaven, not the universe, before he made the stars and the Earth. Creating from a place above time and space. I would call it primordial Heaven. Maybe the angels were already there before Genesis 1:1. I do not know when Satan fell or to where. I recall Benny Hinn preach I...
