  • 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.

    Feel free to use this video in your online Easter Sunday service

    Hi folks, I'm a Christian who lives and works (as a videographer) here in the UK. Back in Feb we shot/produced an inspiring spoken word Easter video for a mainstream UK church organization called Evangelical Alliance. Whilst the video turned out great (IMHO) the most rewarding aspect for me was...

    Sin, Unbelief, And At War With Yourself?

    If yes, can I encourage you to keep on reading the word of God because, For the word of God is living, active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 This...

    The Holy Spirit affirms: we each had a word spoken over us, into which we were born

    Hi there, So I have spent a long time, wrestling with what it is to identify with God, particularly in the light of Evolution - there is a sense in which they are two very different things, so I have spent time trying to understand it. What the Holy Spirit has been able to get across, is that...

    Someone help me: as a Creationist, I have God; as a would be Evolutionist, I have what?

    Hi there, So of course the natural reaction is "you have faith: good for you". But I think it goes more deeply than that. I think having a God, at the very least, means that I have something for Evolutionists could believe, if only I knew what. I know the theory: call that which was not, as if...

    John the Baptist, will rule for the rest of time (before God).

    Hi there, So we have an account of John the Baptist, that he died upholding the law,, but very few have stopped to think what the Resurrection of the John the Baptist might mean. Elijah is considered one and the same (the same as John), by Jesus and we must expect that the messenger will come...

    The False Prophet will say your memories are fine, even without the prompting of the Holy Spirit

    Hi there, So just to continue to edify your work around prophecy, let me tell you a little of what the False Prophet will do, that will weaken your faith if you do not hand him over to the Devil: the False Prophet will tell you that your memories are fine, even without the prompting of the Holy...

    Before the anti-Christ is taken out of the way, he must be put together, first

    Hi there, So part of the counter-intuitive nature of Revelation is embellished here, as we look at the anti-Christ. Revelation says he has a number. What is important about this, is that it suggests that the anti-Christ does not answer to God, by name, but as we must imagine, by number. In a...

    If you could take one verse, from the Bible, to add to Evolution, to make it stronger?

    Hi there, So I am sort of running out of ideas as to what to contrast Evolution with - gravity doesn't make sense to Evolutionists "as a law", epigenetics is irrelevant to butterflies, and there is no real answer to the ubiquity (or lack thereof) of certain adaptations. What seems to matter is...

    At what point does a species adapt, the ability to be called (by its own)

    Hi there, So this is a significant development, in understanding Evolution, because as the Bible says of Jesus "He came to His own and His own received Him not" (from memory) - that is, it is an adaptation that is not universal, but by the same token, is prolific. The idea is simply what...

    How easily and lightly, does the Holy Spirit remind you (of all things)?

    Hi there, So I've only just barely started to realize that the level of complexity in my memories, has a negative effect on how much I can remember - the more complex I expect them to be. This in turn, means that I am more reluctant to learn from the Holy Spirit (I don't have to pretend that I...

    Is there a "reverse Heaven"?

    Hi there, Just wondering what you thought about this: if there is a Heaven, there must be a "reverse Heaven" (where everything you wished had not happened, for example, goes back to the way it was; or for another example, somewhere that good lost, now good wins)? When I meditate, it is sort of...

    By taking a consensus of the various pitches at which the word "Evolution" is used, I could do what?

    Hi there, So this is simple: words can be repeated in different pitches - correct? If I took a sample of the pitches used to pronounce the word "Evolution" - I could work out a consensus about which species and where, was most likely to be believed "evolved"? Further, I could take a survey...

    Should I put it to Evolutionists, that more often repeated difference is evidence of design?

    Hi there, So I have to be careful who I talk to, because typically people with a pre-established position, are more ready to shoot you down, than work with you. What I wanted to ask them, was: 'what is repeated difference a sign of?" In other words, when you see Jesus come back, what will you...

    The Last Word...

    Hebrews 1:1-4 In giving us his only Son, God also gave us His final Word (John 1:1-4). In Christ, God spoke everything to us that He desired to speak, all at once and once and for all. Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the heir of all things, by Whom also the worlds were made. Christ is the...

    The Promises of God

    The Promises of God We can trust in his words, that what he says will come true. Numbers 23:19 — God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 1 Samuel 15:29 — And...

    Torah Incarnate

    "Judaism believes that the Torah was created before the world, thus historic Judaism came to accept that the Word (The Torah) can be legitimately viewed as a form of incarnation. Some Jewish scholars will argue that even the nation of Israel is an incarnational process, and that Ezekiel 37...

    Please help me prove Jesus is God.

    I’m kind of embarrassed to say this but I’m actually having trouble finding actual conclusive Greek text that without a doubt proves that Jesus is God. I am a Trinitarian but recently in a debate with Jehovah’s Witnesses when I began searching for conclusive evidence that Jesus is God in the...

    Bring the Kingdom of Christ and the Word to life.

    In my opinion, we are indeed living in the Kingdom of Christ of which He is the king, but in every kingdom there are also rebels fighting against the king. In this world this is evil, and it rebels against the Truth that is Christ. Does that mean that evil is the king of the world? Certainly...

    The Redemption Of Eve By The New Adam

    I had originally planned to put this in my "Power of the Tongue" series but after spending some time thinking about it I think this blog post would be better off as a stand-alone. For those who have not read the "Power of Tongue" series of posts I am currently blogging about the Bible's...

    Encouragement Love Comes From God The Great Commandment The Great Commandment requires us to love God above all else, with all our heart, soul, and mind; and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. (Matthew 22:35-40) Jesus said for us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us...
