  • 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

    Would you pray for the disciples - knowing they went on to live in Christ?

    Hi there, So, I don't know who this would appeal to, or why, but the thought occurred to me "maybe praying for the disciples of old would strengthen the bretheren?" In other words, we could pray for the ongoing testimony of Jesus, through these disciples? In a sense, it makes more sense to...

    Is it a sin to not want to die?

    Is it a sin to want to stay here, with your family? I want to go to Heaven with Jesus someday, though, but I like my life.
