  • 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.

  4. Galatians 3:8-14

    Gal 3: 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (MY NOTE: 430 yrs (Gal 3:17) BEFORE God gives the Law to Moses. God promises Abraham justification (see KJB dictionary...
  5. Righteousness by Law versus by Faith

    Righteousness by Law versus by Faith The Bible contrasts the Righteousness which is by one's compliance to the Law versus the Righteousness which is by faith apart from the law. Note for example Romans 10:4-6 Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses...
