  • 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

    Say we spend our lives waiting for God, to Evolve - is that: life spent wasted?

    Hi there, So I came to the conclusion that it is better to be predetermined than to be self-willed and I started to turn my attention to God; what I started to realise is that God is more predetermined than me - like even if I spent every waking hour focused on God and His predetermination, I...

    The world does not understand that one Jew, differs from another (Jew)

    Hi there, So just by way of comfort, I mean to tell you something about the world that should warm your heart: the world does not understand that one Jew, differs from another (Jew). If they could keep the words of Jesus, they would have the basis to understand how those words were being...

    Spotlight on Heresy

    Your WORKS won't do it.

    There are NO verses in the Bible, both Testaments included... that say Jesus, once in you, will leave you if you are a bad Christian, etc. He is sealed in there, along with the Holy Spirit, unless the bible is lying. Jesus does promise you Eternal Life, and this promise has NO CONDITIONS, once...

    God Is Sovereign..
