  • 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.

    Theology and Falsifiability

    This thread will be something of a sequel to the thread found here and especially the main artery of that thread mapped out here. Needless to say, it properly belongs in the philosophy forum, but is placed here due to the (temporary?) closure of philosophy. We hear a lot about the essential...

    Was Jesus a Theologian?

    Before Jesus public ministry began and during it as well, was Jesus a theologian? Did He have to study scripture in order to gain an understanding of it, or did He know it all already? Did He put any effort into the "study of the nature of God"?

    Rapture....

    As it stands, I do not believe in the rapture but I am curious and always open to learn and so my question is, for those of you who do believe in the rapture, what brought you to that belief? And what biblical references back up that belief? Thanks!

    Spiritual Attack

    Hello fellow Christians!! I am completely new to this site so please so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section (feel free to move this thread to the relevant section if so). I've come under the realisation this evening that I think I have been subjected to spiritual attack for the last...

    Padre Pio answer to dilemmatic theology question

    Dear my brothers and sisters in Christ, A while ago I watched the movie "Padre Pio." In that movie, the "Catholic church authorities" (I don't know how I should address them) investigated Padre Pio's divine experience. At one scene, it showed that Padre Pio whispered to one of those authorities...

    LDS The 'beginning' of God in Mormonism

    In a recent thread on the LDS concept of God, an LDS poster stated that "God had a father, who had a father, who had a father..." (and so on), which has me wondering: if God/gods in Mormonism are all the result of this kind of reproduction, then where does Mormonism's original God figure come...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    This thread is to discuss what is important. does it truly matter when the rapture happens? Or does it matter more what we do until then seeing as how the bible states that we will never know the time, day, month, or year? THIS IS ONLY FOR DEBATE NOT CONVERTING. If it gets to wild and people...

    LDS Popular LDS hymns as a window on Mormon theology

    Hello all, In the thread "Joseph Smith's claim of an apostasy is a lie", I tried without success to apply the basic Christian principle of lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of prayer is the law of belief) to Mormonism by looking at what their worship could tell us about their theology. That...

    Not getting along well with someone

    I have been at my wit's end with somebody. He is a Christian but I find him judgmental and radical. Today when I mentioned Harvest Crusade and Greg Laurie, he went on and on about how he was antagonized by Calvary chapel pastors. But I think that is judging an entire denomination based on the...

    LDS Did LDS at one time teach that Jesus is the Father?

    If the video below by former LDS Bishop Earl Erskine is correct about changes evident from comparing the first edition of the Book of Mormon and the current edition (as well as changes Joseph Smith made to the Bible itself in his translation of it), it seems that they did. I have heard about the...

    Checking for sound theology

    I am wanting to make a short video (~1-2 minute) with a concise, dense, accurate message of the gospel.I am aware it's possible to mistakenly write things which aren't true, which is why I'm asking this. My memory of specific verses isn't very good so making sure/biblically proving, all of which...

    Biblical Theology forum?

    Because there are various forums for different types of theologies and that Traditional Theology encompasses a wide variety of differing points of view I was hoping there could be a forum created that is strictly for Biblical Theology using only the Bible in the discussions.
