• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

a question for creationists...

why is it that you have a problem with the theory of evolution? why not the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity, or the atomic theory, or the theory of quantum wave mechanics? why just evolution?

Because the literalist movement, starting with Ellen White, has made the ToE their boogeyman of choice for over a century.

Although you will find people here who oppose all of those other theories as well.

I believe Jesus was a literalist.

And Nadab & Abihu learned a lesson in literalism as well.
