  • 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.

  1. Shabbat Shalom everyone!

    Over in the SDA (traditional) forum they have a thread for wishing every one a good Sabbath. I thought that would be a good thing here as well. SO ..... Shabbat Shalom everyone!

    The Lord's Day

    John said, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet" (Revelation 1:10, NKJV). Mainstream Christianity argues that John, in speaking of "the Lord's Day," was referring to "Sunday"— the first day of the week. Question: What biblical proof is...

    Sabbath & Holy Days NECESSARY for salvation.

    What I find amazing when talking to some Christians. They use human reasoning to decide they don't have to do what God clearly tells them. So they say 9 commandments must be kept, but if you say they need to keep the 4th commandment the Sabbath day, they say you are "legalistic" or are trying...

  6. Jesus' commandments - opposed to His Fathers Commandments? - Really?

    You posted But it is the very start of your post where you make a key mistake. That is the most extreme contradiction of the claims of Christ in the Gospel of John - that I have ever seen!! John 14 9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me...
  7. Why the Sabbath isn’t on Saturday or Sunday

    The pagan Roman Julian/Gregorian calendar that we now use was only created in 45 BC, before this time it did not exist. Therefore, the current 7 day rolling week we currently use only began at that time. Before this date the Romans (Just in the Provence of Rome) were using a calendar with an 8...
  8. The Mark of the Beast vs the Mark of God (animated video)

    Hi all. Here's another video (this one animated, yay!). It's approximately 9 minutes. The video explores the relationship between the Mark of the Beast and the Mark of God (specifically what makes them different). I look forward to hearing what others have to say.
  9. Col 2 condemns commandments of men - not commandments of God

    This thread shows why it is you cannot do away with God's Creation Memorial - Bible Sabbath using Colossians 2. ======================= In Rev 12 we see the work of the "Accuser of the brethren". In Matt 7 (pre-cross -- and law in full effect) Christ condemns judging others. Col 2 is 0pposed...
  10. How close is the National SUNday Law?

    The "Lord's day alliance" and the European SUNday alliance are on the move to push hard for a SUNday rest day once again. These "alliances" have been at it for several decades to bring in a SUNday rest day law, making it mandatory that people not work on SUNday. Or ironically making it mandatory...
  11. Do you believe the earth is only 6000 years old ?

    I would like to know what scriptural evidence you have to support the young earth doctrine being taught to so many christians. Please provide verses from the scriptures in the Bible to support this belief. If you believe the earth is much older, then offer evidence from other sources to back up...
  12. The history of the sabbath from the eyes of mainstream Protestantism

    Protestant Confessions Protestant theologians and preachers from a wide spectrum of denominations have been quite candid in admitting that there is no Biblical authority for observing Sunday as a sabbath. Anglican/Episcopal Isaac Williams, Plain Sermons on the Catechism , vol. 1, pp.334, 336...
  13. Daniel 7:25 "And he shall think to change times and laws"

    Here is a fulfillment of prophecy which is nothing new. The Protestant reformation taught this. Hereare catholic documents that prove that the catholic church did in fact change the sabbath to Sunday, which is the "times" spoken by Daniel. And from the vatican archive is the difference between...
  14. Sabbath Observing Denominations

    I was browsing through a website and found a list of other Sabbath observing denominations. I knew there was more besides Seventh Day Adventist but this list is far more huge than I realized: http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/sabbathkeepingchurches.html I hope to meet many of those that are...

    Was the Jubilee Year an Ancient Calendar Formula?

    There has been debate among biblical scholars concerning the Jubilee year inaugurated after Israel’s release from Egypt. It appears to be the last year in a cycle of fifty, hence our popular anniversary events which are celebrated every fifty years. However, a significant minority of authorities...
  16. Sabbatarianism among the Reformed

    I mentioned earlier that I grew up in the SDA Church (cult). They are best known for their legalism by way of strict 7th day sabbatarianism, adherence to much of the Mosaic food code and adding many other requirements not in Moses's law. In regard to Sabbatarianism I admit some frustration in...
  17. The Seventh Day is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God Exodus 20:10

    "The SEVENTH day is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God" Exodus 20:10 The Lord's Day! “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding...
  18. The Four Gospels on Sabbath & Resurrection

    There has been a lot of discussion on CF of the relation between the Jewish day of rest and worship, Saturday, and the Christian day of rest and worship, Sunday. When and how was this change made, and by who? Does the Bible authorize the church to change the day of worship? Gentile Christians...

  20. Accept Christ's Word in Mark 7:6-13 - or reject it??

    Notice what Jesus said about the obligation of others - when it comes to the "Commandment of God" -- the "Word of God" and "Moses said" -- in Mark 7:6-13 Mark 7 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, ye...
