  • 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

    Are We Different?

    Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

    Occult Objects

    I was listening to a sermon on curses today and the preacher started to read... Exodus 20:4 KJV Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: As he was reading my...

    Repent of Modern Idolatry

    Every day, people that consider themselves faithful believers wake up and have any one of 1000 things of the world in their hearts before Christ and his commands; and perhaps none more than those of us that live in the "developed" world. The level of individualism and competition originating...

    Christ's Dismissal

    So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to...

    Grace and Truth ministry

    I have mentioned having been looking for truth. Many pastors, teachers, preachers could never answer the tough questions, Revelation, 70 weeks of Daniel, Predestination, death to self, daily cross, trials by fire, self denial... after 42 years I found Grace and Truth ministry. I'm content that...

    Are images of Jesus idolatry?

    I'm having problems with what seem like a uncritical use of images of what one traditionally imagined Jesus to look like, as a European looking male with dark long hair and beard. For example the Sixtine Chapel that was painted by Michelangelo for the Pope and viewed as perhaps the greatest...

    Seeing God and Jesus in My Dreams

    Back when I was little I remember having a dream where I "saw" God (and he doesn't look like what tradition has him look like, either). It's clear that no one has seen God at any time, no one can see God's face and live, etc., but even after all these years, whenever I think about or pray to...
