  • 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

    The word became flesh and the days were shortened and thus the Gospel was also

    Hi there, So I have been sifting through the times, what they mean and where they go, and I hit upon a truth that I thought as Church goers, you might be interested in. Now, I'm going to give you a progression, here, because although the truth stands on its own, it stands more easily if you...

    For most of us, faith is sufficient but not necessary, to the one that endures - true?

    Hi there, [scripture] As Jesus said "He that endures to the end, shall be saved" (from memory). [faith] I think that learning from this, we may conclude that faith is sufficient for us, but not necessary - to the one that endures. [history] I have struggled for a long time, with what...

    Crea-volution: the concept of Creation adapting to Evolution.

    Hi there, So you have two concepts, Creation and Evolution. This is fine, as long as you don't try to remove one or the other in the name of its opposite. The mistake is to think that one being right, the other is wrong. How do we navigate this? My suggestion, is to create a concept that...

    The person with [great] dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts - Einstein. Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a parallel of this truth in scripture, I'm not sure which would be said to be the more beautiful. Compare: The point being, that there are degrees of greatness, with anything. Just knowing the facts is not enough, neither is planting your feet firmly on the world. I have...

    Apes differ in kinds of aggression; Man differs in kinds of words - they'll never be the same

    Hi there, So just to put it simply: Apes have different kinds of aggression, but Man has different kinds of words. They will never be the same. Types of aggression (in apes), did not become types of words (in Man); types of words (in men) will never become types of an alternative (in some...

    Nude Evolution: the right progression of selection pressures, will evolve "Evolution"?

    Hi there, So to contradict this thought experiment, you basically have to say "there is no selection pressure for selection pressure"? The thought experiment is basically simple: a sequence of selection pressures lead to Darwin discovering "Evolution" and the same concept could be used to lead...

    So I keep evolving perfectly, and all the feminine are attracted to me? Why?

    Hi there, So I just thought, you know what "what we have been avoiding, is what it means to evolve perfectly, by repeatedly returning to Jesus"? In concrete terms, does it mean that the feminine will be attracted to me? In the expectation that I will be able to lead them, into greater...

    How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

    Hi there, So, yes, a basic basic concept for you: you have the theory, but how do you "stimulate" the Evolution that the theory makes you aware of? Scripturally speaking, we study the scriptures. Meditatively speaking, we practice meditation. Instinct grows, if it is practiced - it stands to...

    Luke 14:25-33 (Discipleship Tested/Counting the cost Parable) as Management instructions

    Is evaluating Luke 14:25-33 verses which discusses the Parable about Discipleship Tested / Counting the cost as instructions for Personal Financial Planning/Project management/Business Planning be considered as taking said verses out of context? The reason I'm asking is because Luke 14:25-33...

    Why don't you adapt first, and mutate later?

    Hi there, So question is: Get me? The glass is half full after all!

    God does not evolve, His power does (selah) - predictable change is possible

    Hi there, So this won't help Evolutionists much, at least not at first, because it talks about a limitation on what can change - because of the parameters of the possible changes (that are limited). The point how ever Evolutionists will probably grasp more intensely than Creationists, at first...

    Even if there are adaptations & throwbacks & adaptations & throwbacks, nothing "new" evolves?

    Hi there, So I am pretty sure I would get burned, by Evolutionists, if I brought this up: but I really want to know an answer! If there are adaptations, in a given species and those adaptations don't turn out to be critical, but instead become throwbacks to past generations of the same species...

    The Jews inherited the world's pain, at Auschwitz and camps with it

    Hi there, Never again will the Jews be doubted, that they know the world's pain. Leaders will heed them; the youth will speak of them with praise. This is the Lord's doing, that His Cross be shared with all. We did not share it (the Jews) at Golgotha, because we thought Jesus was going to say...

    Crutches evolve, that doesn't mean they do so independent of the need to fit the individual?

    Hi there, So here is an example I hope explains why I look at life on Earth, the way that I do. It's not rare for something to evolve, because it's expected to, the real question is "what is enough?"; if you know what is enough, you can begin to focus on honing skills you already have...

    I prophecy that our generation, will have dreams and visions greater than those that came before

    Yes, hi! I put it to you, that our generation, the generation of the pity of the grave, will have dreams and visions greater than the generation of sadness of the Earth before us. What the previous generation believed had something to do with how much they rested, we will understand as having...

    So Evolutionist, are you in favour of "cross-pollination"?

    Yes, its me. There is a complicated concept I want to bring your attention to: cross-pollination. It is the idea that one species can inspire another, such that its young, takes on the attributes of something foreign to the species it was born to. In one sense, you could look at it like one...

    Is advertising the mark of the anti-Christ for televisions?

    Hi there, So this is basically an object lesson, that not everything tolerated by the spirit is wise, and not everything wise is a target. What do I mean by that? I mean take televisions, there is a pure signal, which gives you clear reception and there is no reason to think it will cease to...

    Presupposition: mutation comes before adaptation - justified *how*?

    Hi there, So I guess I am assuming you are some kind of expert on "Evolution" and that if I question the integrity of the theory, you will as an agent with a mind, be able to pull the theory apart and examine the part of it, that I think could be improved upon? For example, the presupposition...

    Purpose of This World

    Hello Brothers and Sisters, I'm coming back to faith and I have been struggling with a question that seems basic but I am struggling to find an answer: "Heaven and Hell are eternal. If our ultimate fate is to reside in one of these two forever, why would come to this world in the first place...

    How are we going to deal with the Christian "Stereotype" (the World's stereotype for us)?

    Hi there, So you could probably approach this, from an infinitely large number of angles, I just wondered what you would think: specifically, on the basis of your entitlement to be loved by the Brethren, but as the world sees it? What I mean is, you are entitled to be loved on the basis of the...
