  • 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.

    General question: The State of Israel and its relationship with Christian Communities.

    When I was doing an internship at the World Zionist Organization in Jerusalem I was told that there was a specific denomination which donated millions to our projects. I even asked why they would do such a thing but they basically told me: "don't ask, we need the funding". Now as a Christian...

    Eurovision, Israel wins popular vote

    The popular vote of last night's Eurovision Song Contest was won by Israel by a significant margin. A queer man singing in a woman's voice (counter-tenor is the official term) won for Austria overall. Yuval Raphael who survived the Hamas attack, at the last concert she went to in Israel, came...

    Odd experience in Israel, 1984

    In 1984 I was a Jewish 16-year-old, with 18 other such folk in one of the visits sponsored by the Israeli government and groups of U.S. synagogues. We stayed three weeks at a kibbutz, and spent the second three weeks traveling and seeing many different places from Caesaria Phillipi to Eilat...

    Ephesians 2:12 and Romans 11:24 concerning Gentiles

    Hi, Don't these verses prove that Gentiles are included into Israel therefore they have to obey the same commandments Israel were given in the Torah? - Ephesians 2:12 says, ''remember that you [Gentiles] were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and...

    1 Year since Start of Israel-Hamas War (October 7, 2023 to October 7, 2024)

    Hello folks. It has been 1 year since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Which things do you want to be seen done on both sides? For myself as a pacifist, it would be nice if a country could charge Hamas for crimes, and place Hamas leaders in jail, for any Palestinian that is innocent (as in...

    Israel is Real! Avoid the Christian arrogance that Paul Specifically warned against (Romans 11:25)

    Romans 11:18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of...

    'I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you’

    But to whom does Genesis 12:3 refer to? Let’s explore some scriptural facts and historical evidences. It was a promise made to the patriarch Abraham way before the 12 tribes of Israel came into existence and the seed was none other than Jesus Christ. As the apostle Paul clearly stated in Gal...

    Why are there Christians who are saying the Jubilee will 'actually' take place, with 'all' debt 'actually' being literally cancelled ?

    Why are there Christians who are saying the Jubilee will 'actually' take place, with 'all' debt 'actually' being literally cancelled. And in addition: loads of gold being lifted from hidden reserves under the Earth (!) Some christians have said the Jewish year of Jubilee was supposed to be 2023...

    Prayer for Israel

    I'm asking for prayer for Israel that no weapon form against Israel would prosper and every tongue that rises up against Israel in judgement be condemned.

    What was Hamas thinking???

    https://www.ajc.org/attackonisrael IT is easy to understand the rationale Russia used to attack Ukraine. Something like "This will be as easy as taking candy from a baby - just like when we took Crimea". Even the allies of Ukraine in the West saw no real way out for Ukraine. Everyone was...

    My Concern for God's People

    I see so many people praying for God’s protection over the physical nation of Israel, the Jewish nation, who as a people group have rejected Jesus as the Christ, who have denied Jesus Christ as their Lord, the Promised One of Israel, the promised seed of Abraham. These people are praying for the...
