  • 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

    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...

    Maladaptive Daydreaming Issues

    Hey, first of all, I hope you are well. I am glad you are here on this Earth. You are special and timeless to God. I struggle with something with Maladaptive Daydreaming all my life. It’s called MADD. It’s a disorder. Basically I have had childhood trauma and other crazy life difficulties as...

    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...

    Take the world down, this cross is going to stay!

    Yes, Brethren! We have the message of Christ, it was to not give in, not despair, only hope, cherish, love - it is His Holy Spirit, that completes the message of the Cross for another generation, and from the Cross, we can see it all come to pass. That is the will of the Son, that it all be...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    Questions about Catholicism

    I am somewhat new to christianity, and I wanted to know more about the Catholic path.

    Help me understand something the Lord taught me: "joy is in the doing through surrendering"

    Hi there, So this is like a fragment, of something the Holy Spirit inspired me with and I wonder what you make of it: It is a little similar to "my strength is made perfect through weakness" found in the letters, but the emphasis is on "building" (rather than "making"). It is about building...

    There is something God can't create, before you get to Heaven! He's waiting to share it with you!

    Hi there, So this is a really simple thought, but typically we think of God as someone who created in the past. But God is not just a God of the past, He is also a God of the future. He has created everything, yes, but there is something (even many things) that God cannot create for you, until...

    I did it! I stopped thinking about Evolution, and started to think about God!

    Yes, I have struggled with how to answer Evolution, for a long time now: today, I actually got to the point where I stopped thinking about it - what it meant - and started to think about God, how He cares and loves me. The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God." What exactly is enough...
