  • 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

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God." What exactly is enough...

    Believer, hear O believer: you are going to have to repent, to the end, to have been saved

    Hi there, So I have struggled with this so much, and I can save you time: it won't make a difference - your salvation - unless you repent to the end (you really must commit). This is the seed that brings forth a hundred, sixty and thirty fold - the seed that takes root, and goes beyond...

    In faith, you may need to offer a gift, as a sign (that you believe you have recovered)

    Hi there, So as a testimony, if you have been struggling with mental health, you may need to offer a gift as a sign (that you believe you have recovered). This is Matthew 8:4. This will help you, not to look to yourself, for recovery - but also, it will give glory to God. You don't have to be...

    Has anyone ever been saved, by listening to Christian music?

    Hi there, Just wanted to present a show of faith, for people who have been saved, by Christian music. I was challenged spiritually, by worldly music and have slowly recovered. I was just wondering if maybe the opposite had happened, if Christian music had the power to save... Anyway, I imagine...

    What's the right way to say "whatever the beginning *was*, it wasn't a pretext for isolated change"?

    Hi there, So I am standing out on my own, at this point - I'm not saying "look at the Bible", I'm not saying "look at anything" - I just want to understand this fundamental point: whatever the beginning was, it was not a pretext for isolated change? The point is that once people typically have...

    Have You Lost Your Saltiness?

    Salt of the Earth Matthew 5:13 ESV “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.” Salt is used both as a preservative and as seasoning for the food...

    Just curious: why do you assert mutation produces information, when sin could produce masses of it?

    Hi there, So if sin could produce masses of mutation (dysfunctional DNA), why would you not expect it to produce masses of information? I mean that is just a one for one interpretation of the special place you give "mutation" - am I not correct? There is no telling what species could get...

    Calvin: "that we owe everything to God, and that we have nothing that is our own"

    This is brought to mind upon reading Humble_Disciple's submission: God chose YOU to bear fruit... What the Holy Spirit does in us is something we could never do: We do not know what we do when we 'give him our hearts'; we are weak, silly, ignorant of the horror that sin is, ignorant of the...

    The Friendship of the Lord

    Lead Me in Your Truth Psalms 25:4-5 ESV “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.” For us who have put our hope and trust in Jesus Christ, it is critical that we...

    The right selection pressure, and we would see "men" come from apes, *again*?

    Hi there, So this is not meant to make you feel uncomfortable, but: I mean the apes are just waiting, to be people, right? That's your contention?

    What about adapting too much for a given selection pressure? It's sickening?

    Hi there, So there is a chance that you are overdoing your Evolution, right? Like if you keep responding to a selection pressure, in more and more diverse ways - eventually you get trigger sick? "Trigger sick" would be evolving in ways that don't agree with a balance of some kind (moderation) -...

    We Speak, not to Please Humans

    We Had Boldness in our God 1 Thessalonians 2:1-2 ESV “For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain. But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst...

    Will Humanity exhaust the possibilities of Evolution, or get stuck in a niche?

    Hi there, So there is a problem you may not have thought of: what if Man gets stuck in a niche? What if that niche keeps Man from venturing out again, that he accepts he will never exhaust Evolution (and shouldn't try?)? The point is, you have to position yourself to take advantage of most...

    Would you ask God, for a religion? (I'm just shooting the breeze here)

    Hi there, So I posted something about religion that got mixed results and I had a concept that was sort of relevant - would you create a religion? - being relevant tangentially. Partially my motive is just to work out, whether there is a way to tell between true and false religion - true...

    This is why we have so many denominations: its not the truth, unless everyone sees it differently

    Hi there, So a foundational truth: This is why we have so many denominations of Churches, we are all trying to express the truth, more and more differently - that is, for the sake of the truth. In reality, there could be more and more differences, different names for Churches at different...

    Repost of Prayer request for difficult relationship

    I am someone who values every single person and appreciates the uniqueness of each individual and try to show Christ like love to everyone. Yet recently I have not always been executing behavior in Christ-like fashion. Admittedly I am a Moron when it come to people. I think I show kindness and...

    Simple fact, if you don't leave room, for what you are about to eat, you are sick (not healthy)

    Hi there, So I am having a lot of trouble contextualizing what Evolution means and what it does not: and I have come across a simple fact, that describes my difficulty - "if you don't leave room, for what you are about to eat, you are sick". Are Evolutionists sick? They are if there isn't room...

    Evolutionists: you should be pushing a humanist agenda, but you are not? You gave up on humanity?

    Hello there, So this is the observation: "Evolution is about humans" therefore 'Evolution could be about humans'? Why not? There is something to be said, for exhausting the potential of a given form, without simply waiting for the next one: it means more survival, not less - on the assumption...

    Some things require sacrifice: if God desires mercy, what about those of us that must die?

    Hi there, So yes, it is a blunt message to me, that there are certain things in life that "require" sacrifice. Revelation speaks with praise about those that "love not their lives, to the death" - but this clashes with the idea that Christ died for us, doesn't it? Didn't Jesus die, so that...
