  • 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

    Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword: you are guilty if you *don't* want to fight someone!

    Hi there, So, this is just a short thought: Premise one: Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword (He said) Premise two: the truth condition of a sword, is given by the question "who is it against?" Premise three: Jesus' Word, is always true Conclusion: there is always someone, whom...

    Christians don't want to sin; the world doesn't want to be judged - see what's happening there?

    Hi there, So, yes, I have sort of started to warm, in my heart, towards Christians. I know it says "come on, love your brothers as well", but I had a hard time reconciling my own walk of faith, with the walk of others - the narrow path, seemed to lead me further afield than most Christians were...

    The Devil, wants abortion

    Hi, So just some personal testimony: I had a relationship where my partner drew me in, but as soon as they had had their desire, they turned on me and wanted to remove the possibility of a child - this confused me for a long time. Then, just seeing the thread "how can christians justify...

    I feel cheap; like I don't love enough - to justify something I don't understand

    Hi there, So my life has gone round the bender, trying to reconcile myself, with Evolution. It got to the point, where I was saying "Lord I will adapt, what you want me to adapt; I will do it, for those you want me to do it for; I will point to You" and it sort of seemed to make sense: I was no...

    It's going to be hotter than our souls can stand, but we will be delivered!

    Hi there, Praise: be to God, that though the end is destroyed in fire - yes, even fire so hot that our souls cannot stand it - yet we will be able to stand, for our faith is in Jesus and He will deliver those souls. The Big bang will look like a drop in the ocean, compared to the fire that is...

    If the only thing that changes over your lifetime, is an interpretation of God: what "Evolves"?

    Hi there, So, a simple question for you: if the only thing that you change over your lifetime, is your interpretation of God (let's say "one change"): what "Evolves"? What happens to my allele frequencies? Do they agree or disagree? The point being, it is objectively: one change. Not a series...

    7th episode: Collective dreaming (Holy Spirit directed) 22.08.20 - 20.09.20

    Hi there, So we had very few contributions last episode - I am on medication, so I couldn't really contribute myself - I am going to keep pressing on, though. The point is really simple: if the Holy Spirit was going to preach a sermon, to us as a group, what dream would He base it on? And...

    Jesus walking on water

    This passage is so well known that the phrase "walking on water" is now part of everyday use, though not everyday practice! This was the passage for the sermon used in last week's online service. In fact there are three parallel passages in Mt 14:22-33, Mk 6:45-52 and Jn 6:15-21 - the sermon...

    Truth: You can not be resurrected, without being still.

    Hi there, So, yes, I have come across this learning, in my bearing forth with the Lord: Scripturally, this is evidenced by the truth that Jesus said "I am the resurrection", He did not say "I will be the resurrection" - as if to say, that it hinged on Him knowing something else or becoming...

    OCD is destroying me.

    Last night I don’t know what happened I was working on my animation project and suddenly something popped in my head. “I trust S name.” unintentionally. I said to myself I trust Jesus and God. Then later I felt this urge of to say Lord that name again in my head and try to see if I can ignore...

    44. To seek light To seek the light of God is a process to do every day of our lives. Let’s rise: “Rise up in splendour! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” Isaiah, chapter 60, verse 1 What is the light that we seek? The Light is already on us. The Light of the Lord...

    A Friend of Sinners?

    A popular teaching today is that Jesus hung out with (was a friend of) the ungodly, while he avoided contact with the "super religious," which is often a popular reference to the godly. But Jesus was not a friend of the ungodly. He was a friend to those who obeyed him (Jn 15:14-15; Jas 2:23)...

    I’m afraid I blew my chance! Please help me!

    I need help please!

But my mind and thoughts were slipping acting on...

    How to recognize a real Teacher

    Here is how God taught me to recognize the deceivers.... I asked God one afternoon, sitting on a porch swing, in the summer of 1991, that very question. I had for a while looked around and i noticed that there was a church on every corner, and none of them agreed with each other's "teaching"...

    What form was the 2nd person of the Trinity (Jesus) in before He took on flesh?

    In reading the OT we can clearly see the 1st and 3rd persons of the Trinity in action but the 2nd person isn't as clear or visible, and we don't actually see Him. If you looked to the heavens before He took on flesh you'd see God the Father on His throne and the Holy Spirit but where is the 2nd...

    A Few Things to Discuss (A Bit Long)

    The SDA Church This is something that I've not been able to understand personally. Why do many people consider SDA to be a cult? I grew up in the church and the beliefs are different, though many people have different beliefs hence why we have so many different denominations. Although I do...

    I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

    Hi there, So I don't know whether to make this long or short, I just want to say that whatever Evolution is, I am not going to chase it. I just don't want to. I would rather be backwards and have faith; than go forwards and "evolve". It's not that I am not capable of intellectual denial of my...
