  • 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.

    So a part of an animal, adapts and devolves, repeatedly, one generation to the next...

    Hi there, So the thought experiment here is just to examine whether I understand the concept "adaptation" properly or not: say part of an animal adapts and devolves, under selection pressure, then not - one set of generations on, one set of generations off. The epigenome will make no attempt to...

    The Man of Sin, is also the Child of Iniquity (selah)

    Hi there, So just cross referencing Paul's mention of the Man of Sin, with the Book of Revelation where it talks about the Male Child, we come to a place where we do not know what the Man of Sin will be, as Child - but we know what the Holy Spirit will be, as a Child. If Revelation can describe...

    Ngram viewer for terms: preterism, amillenialism and premillenialism

    Hi there, So you can plainly see from this Ngram that the Devil is dividing the faith over what it believes about time (with Jesus). I'm not sure that the faith would call this a deal breaker, just that the faith of the Holy Spirit is not manifest in different ways to different people, always...

    Please be praying for the faith, we do not have long to go

    Hi there, So just a shout for all the prayer warriors out there: please be praying for the faith (at least as long as you have the good life (the good life is three score years and ten (70) - Solomon), we do not have long to go. The faith will soon be known by the world and its spirit and the...

    This is the kicker, you are assuming all mutations confer adaptation to the current Evolution?

    Hi there, So yes, I worked out that Evolution isn't happening again and again and that it can't be found everywhere, I worked out that mutation is biased to assume creation, and that warning from wayward mutations is being ignored: now I have a complaint that mutations may be delaying...

    We don't trust the Matrix, and we want to know what manner of "Neo" we were?

    Hi there, So there is something very peculiar about 1979, if you look at the Ngram for the popularity of the concept "Neo" in relation to the "Matrix" it is about 1980 that a final curve is adopted for the Matrix that no longer climbs. The Matrix is high in value, against "Neo" but Neo...

    Will the Son of Man find faith on Earth, when He returns? - the Faith is most certainly willing!

    Hi there, So this is a word of jubilation to me, I have long thought there was something singularly powerful about the fact that Christ did not simply assert "there will be faith" - rather He questioned it saying Jesus often spoke in layers of meaning, while He was on Earth, speaking in...

    The role of the Holy Spirit, in mental health

    Hi there, So I just want to work something out for myself, with regard to the Holy Spirit, in mental health. I take myself as an example and question what it is that caused me to have a mental health condition. What the Spirit says to me, is that "I advised that you develop a mental health...

    Three things Evolutionists need: perceptiveness, calm & idealism.

    Hi there, So I have sought council as to how to strengthen a person, when they want to maintain the greatest strength they can have, as an Evolutionist: Perceptiveness, means knowing when one mutation is clashing with another, for which it would be better to do without both, that is, starting...

    Just wanted to get your permission, on something: can I question what Evolution does for Creation?

    Hi there, So yes, my thinking has come to something of a head: I want to ask Evolutionists what Evolution does for Creation? It's sort of a reverse logic, to "what does Creation do for Evolution?" and I just wanted to get your permission, before I provoke what could be a hostile response to...

    The funniest question: "how soon do you think it will be before monkeys become humans, *again*?"

    Hi there, So this is hilarious right: The only way to say this is rubbish, is to say "the selection pressures aren't there any more", but the problem is, we never knew what the selection pressures were to begin with. I mean there is no experimental evidence that something that happened once...

    Hi everyone, new here!

    Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Angela and I’m here to hopefully meet and encourage brothers and sisters on our walk together with the Lord. I just turned 40, am married to my best friend, Will, for 16 years and we’ve been following Jesus for the past 14. We have 3 kids, one...

    I declare that the nation of Israel, has begun to prosper under YHVH - struggles to follow

    Hi there, So I have been keeping an eye on the watch of Israel and its allies and in the glimmering of a glimpse of the Spirit of Israel, I have begun to witness a prospering of the nation. The enemy no longer knows what manner of war he is waiting for, and has begun to succumb to his...

    Rest on this: God is asking you to do something, but He is not asking you to do everything!

    Hi there, So yes, mental health (general struggles, whatever you want to call it) can be a tricky thing. One thing that is important, is that we do not trip ourselves up - that we do not create mental habits that are not ultimately helpful. You can criticise the Devil without authority all you...

    It will be a couple of Days, before Israel knows what has happened, to the elect

    Hi there, So yes, the Bible says "A Day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years, as one day" (from memory). Therefore, though Israel may face the tribulation and the testing of the Elect, Israel will not know what has happened until a couple of Days after the fact. In part...

    John 15:5. "Without me you can do nothing" *but* 'neither need you do *everything* with Me'

    Hi there, So I thought this was a neat angle, on something Jesus said - something which is hard to learn: that is, Jesus said (the emphasis being on "apart from Me you can do nothing") This seems daunting, at first, because there is a lot we would like to be able to do, without Jesus, or at...

    Prayer request for my Christian friend and their family

    Hello, I'm currently learning about Christianity and a close friend of mine is helping me with some questions I have and we regularly discuss the Bible and scriptures. The church they belong to is a "Message" church. They don't necessarily believe in "The Message" because of the emphasis on...

    I'm of two minds, about whether I want a mental health condition, in *Heaven*?

    Hi there, So yes, you can tell I'm an old hand at this, from the title. I have been on the ins and outs of schizophrenia for a couple of decades now and I have to say it hasn't all been roses. It started out with my sense of meaning slipping from reality and became a full blown delusion about...

    Look at your mental health condition, as it hangs on the Cross

    Hi there, Yes, so just to bring the healing of the Lord into focus: we can see our mental health conditions, as they hang on the Cross. We can see depression there, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, mania, tourettes, aspergers, all of it - we can see Jesus suffering for these things at the...
