  • 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.

    He is Our Hiding Place

    The Double-Minded Psalms 119:113 ESV “I hate the double-minded, but I love your law.” The Double-minded are those who are trying to go left and to go right at the same time. They are trying to be righteous while at the same time they are living in deliberate, habitual, and premeditated sin...

    No one who hopes in God will ever be put to shame

    Psalms 25:3 - No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame. Amen! This is a promise, the truth and the destination of whoever hopes and waits upon God.

    Concerning Pain, Evil and Suffering

    These thoughts are offered in the hope that they may begin what logical defense of Christianity does not always do: To those who don't know HIM, you have maybe some vague concept of the agony of separation from God, and the joy of closeness to Christ. Maybe you have some experience with guilt...

    A sign of the end: there are different kinds of raptures

    Hi there, So this will be a new concept to you, at first, but after you have given it thought: it will give you broader spiritual horizons. A man can be raptured differently to a child; a child can be raptured differently to an animal. There are different orders and strengths and durations...

    Is your Bible a bad one?

    - So, why post a Thread about "bad bibles" in the "Deeper Fellowship", section? Well, if we have as our Thread's context "deeper fellowship with God", then that comes by having deeper fellowship with God, and God as THE WORD, ....and the word is the divine place regarding deeper fellowship...
