  • 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.

    Imagine two possible worlds: World 1 In this world there is no God. There is no afterlife and we are not held accountable for the way we have lived. World 2 In this world, not only does God exist, but the gospel us true. Jesus truly lived, died for our sins, and rose again. In this world there...

    FORUMISTS

    Do you think it is possible that one day a new branch/sect of religion could arise...or maybe a new denomination (to keep it in "Christianity"), and that it can be what we are doing right here in this forum...and be called "Forumism"? Why/why not? *Would the founders be called "Reforumers"?

    If the Bible never existed...

    Time and time again, I see people point to things as being true and good or bad "just because the Bible says so". But what if there was no Bible? If we had no way of knowing about Moses, or Noah, or the 10 Commandments, or the violent commanded stuff, or Jesus? What would your sense of life...
