  • 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

    Faith alone is required for salvation & You're not under Mosaic law!

    Ex 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that "the LORD doth put a difference between the Nations and Israel". (MY NOTE: The LORD put a difference between all other 69 (Gen 10) Nations & Israel/His chosen...

    They are Circumventing the Cross

    John 10:1-4 ESV “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own...

    What does it mean to deny God?

    I was reading through the bible the other day and stumbled upon Matthew 10:32-33. Verse 33 states that if one denies God in front of men, Jesus will deny him infront of his father. I guess what my question is, what is the difference between Peter's denial of Jesus and the denial of God in this...

    IF We Walk in the Light

    Do You Practice the Truth? 1 John 1:5-6 ESV “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” It continues to amaze me how...

    Here I Am! Send Me!

    Isaiah 6:1-5 ESV “In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And...

    In Our Weakness, God Is Glorified.

    The popular star psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has stated, "Who dares say they believe in God!" or something similar. In a similar vein, I pose the question in an alternate way, "Who dares say they want to know the full extent of their sin!" In the glimpses I have had of my sin, it shows me how...

    When God Shuts up the Heavens

    2 Chronicles 7:13-15 ESV “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from...

    A Few Things Against

    Revelation 2:13-15 ESV “I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the...

    Included in the family

    Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” Peter had entered the house of Gentiles, an act punishable by excommunication from the Jewish religion. But he explained the steps...

    What We Can Learn From The Ravi Zacharias Story.

    Upon thinking about the late Ravi Zacharias, and upon thinking about my own struggle with sin, there was a question raised up from the depth of my soul. The question was, "Is repentance enough?" The question came to me thinking empathetically about how Ravi might have thought about his sin...

    I am struggling with my walk with Christ. Any help??

    I grew up in a Christian family for most of my life and I have attended Sunday school. I don't know what is wrong with me because it seems like I am not a normal person anymore. I have read parts of the Bible where it says that God hates sinners. I have something wrong with me because I started...

    Who Rules Your Life?

    I am going to share these Scriptures out of order, because this first section I am sharing teaches what it means to receive Christ Jesus as Lord, and then I will follow that with the section that speaks of what comes after that. Colossians 2:9-12 NIV “For in Christ all the fullness of the...

    First Blog Post Here, Possibly My Last.

    Hello Church. First let me say I do not consider myself a "Good" person, as only God is Good. I have many failings. For one, I cannot keep a regular schedule with almost anything, including sleep. Though my sins are not blasphemous in nature, this does not mean they are any less bad than anyone...

    Unless You Fail the Test

    Summary 2 Corinthians 1-12 The Corinthian church was riddled with sin, especially sexual immorality, I believe. It was questionable, thus, as to the legitimacy of everyone’s faith. So, Paul encouraged them to be reconciled to God, and he urged them not to receive God’s grace in vain. He also...

    Psalms 85:1-3 NIV “You, Lord, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.” Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, but...

    Question about Sin

    So if someone had resolved to sin, that is to make a choice to turn from God by willfully deciding to do something against his will, and then before actually sinning, realizes that they do not want to do that sin and repents from it... is that still considered a sin? If so, is that a mortal sin...

    Repent Simplified

    In relation to new covenant salvation, repentance means to change your mind from unbelief/rejection of who Christ is. To belief/acceptance of Christ as God's Son. More specifically placing one's faith in Jesus sin atoning sacrifice & resurrection. Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and...

    Mind Manipulation and Deception

    James 5:1-6 ESV “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up...
