  • 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

    Is this the end of days or do I just see the signs of the end to come?

    It's turned into a joke for people with how bad 2020 have been and I understand that many use joke and laughter as a kind of vent for fearful things. I see something much more in all that is happening though and maybe it's media being most active there, or perhaps it really is something really...

    US Covid testing by state

As an exercise, I used current Worldometer data, on Coronavirus testing in each US state, to build a heatmap showing relative testing per million (tpm) across the country. Since I'm not American I can't readily recognise any patterns related to low or...

    My fellow bretheren,

    It's wonderful to finally be among Christian fellows. No matter how much we may disagree on life, the love of Christ allows the platform for spirited debate and it's something I miss dearly in my life. I was a police officer in London, England for 8 years. During my time there, I found that...

    Where is the US going?

    It would appear that America is wanting to step back as a world leader by denouncing existing relationships. In the past four years, it has thrown out long-standing trade alliances, refused to sign any agreements recognising and managing climate change, has isolated countries such as Turkey (a...

    American dominance in space

    I applaud any country or private enterprise that is about advancing the human endeavour for space exploration. Is a country seeking to dominate space a good thing for the human race? 'We must have American dominance in space': Trump launches new military 'Space Force'

    Is Christianity in the US too Patriotic?

    With the advent of Summer--to include Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day--is it wrong for churches to remember our military, our veterans, our founding, etc; or should we just focus our worship on God?

    Differences between Dutch and US pentecostalism

    Does anybody know, or have experience with, both Dutch and US Pentecostal churches? I'm under the impression that the Dutch version is a bit more conservative than the US one. Maybe I am totally wrong informed so that's the reason I've started this thread. I'm looking forward to hear from you all!
