  • 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.

    Apes differ in kinds of aggression; Man differs in kinds of words - they'll never be the same

    Hi there, So just to put it simply: Apes have different kinds of aggression, but Man has different kinds of words. They will never be the same. Types of aggression (in apes), did not become types of words (in Man); types of words (in men) will never become types of an alternative (in some...

    Did Jesus surpass three commandments?

    Brothers and sisters, happy Sabbath! As I see it, Jesus made 3 of His commandments more demanding in the new covenant and added an 11th commandment for a total of 11 commandments as the minimum love that God wants us to show God and neighbors. “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You...

    Nude Evolution: the right progression of selection pressures, will evolve "Evolution"?

    Hi there, So to contradict this thought experiment, you basically have to say "there is no selection pressure for selection pressure"? The thought experiment is basically simple: a sequence of selection pressures lead to Darwin discovering "Evolution" and the same concept could be used to lead...

    Jesus rose on what day?

    Brothers and sisters, happy Sabbath! No translation has understood the "expression" of God: "the first of the Sabbaths". It does not refer to Sunday but to Saturday being the first Sabbath, another way of referring to the seventh day of the creation week. This is necessary because the Sabbath...

    Honest question: how do we become less knowing, without becoming more questioning?

    Hi there, So this is evidently a question about faith. I do not mean to add question to question. My intent is to have faith, despite people having "questions". People ask questions, but when they receive the knowledge the ask, if they ask in vain, they simply come up with more questions. As a...

    About the devil (spiritual experience of the ascetics)

    I would like to present ascetic experiences about the devil. Hopefully it will help you to be more on guard and better serve our Lord Jesus through your life. Translation originally from Greek. If possible, I will regularly add new posts to this topic. The Greek website from which I translated...

    Looking for Other Christians to Share Faith

    I feel restored when I talk with other Christians about the teachings of Jesus. I am looking for others who feel the same and want to discuss his word and how he helps us.

    Crucifying The New Age Idea of Self-Love...

    Honestly, at this point in our day and generation, it is so fair to say that the concept of information overload is definitely upon us and not necessarily for the better of humanity and history. I fell victim to a lot of the things that new age theology and spirituality consists of because...

    A sound mind, is different from a "sane" mind - we want our minds to be "sound" not just sane?

    Hi there, So I just wanted to make something clear, that I have struggled with a long time: there is a difference between a "sane" mind and a sound mind. A sane mind is a mind that has specific thoughts, that make specific kinds of impressions on the mind - for example, you might think "that...

    Would You Be Willing To Have A Long Distance Relationship?

    Hello! :hi::hi::hi::hi::):):):) Would you be willing to have a long distance relationship with someone you want to marry? Why or why not? And would you be willing to relocate to be with them?

    So God says "there are some bad adaptations, and there are some good adaptations" - ready to listen?

    Hi there, So we are all born with instinct, this is nothing "new". But what we are not predisposed to is receiving instruction from God. If we have instruction we do not do it, and doing it we do not do it correctly. This is just the fallen state of the world - not that you necessarily call it...

    The Beginning And The End

    In the book of Revelation (the Revelation of Jesus Christ), Jesus refers to Himself as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the...

    Theological vs scriptural arguments for (e.g.) the divinity of Christ

    I have an impression that arguments for (for instance) the divinity of Christ are usually made by referring to individual Bible passages. But for a creedal author like Athanasius arguments were also based on an understanding of transcendence and the overall Bible message e.g from para 51 CHURCH...

    I invented a way for shy people to evangelize, guys

    What if there was a way to spread the gospel just by leaving cards around in different places? Well, there is. I made a little sheet of cards that you have permission to print out and use. Just cut out the cards and leave them in places as you go about your day (that doesn’t mean litter, please...

    Jesus and his eleven disiples.

    So I was reading through John 13 and when I reached verse 26 I realized something that never occurred to me. While I knew that this was Jesus exposing Judas as a traitor. I didn't fully understood the implications of the sop. The sop was given to the guest of honor as a sign of love. By doing...

    The falling away (of the Church), is far slower,, than men expect (selah)

    Hi there, So I worked this out for myself, but I thought I had better share it - and stay in the right spirit, than be alone in my interpretation of where the Church stands. Essentially, people become aware that the falling away is happening, but they can't draw conclusion from that, that it...

    I feel confused about Jesus Christ and Christianity

    I grew up in a Christian family and I have known the Bible. I have seen the Word of God change the hearts of people. Lately, I have been around people who are praising Jesus and following the Bible. I feel angry and frustrated when I see others praising the Lord and I feel a certain way. I don't...
