  • 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

hmm, well we don't exactly have the power of God, he can create the universe...Can you? He can create Billions of individual people....can you? He can create millions of species of plants and animals...can you?

I think I sorta see your point, just trying to give you a hard time...lol
Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Luke 9:1
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Luke 10
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

The power of the believer comes to him with the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The commission that Jesus has given to His church provides the same authority and power as in Luke 10. the promise was not limited to the apostles or first century disciples, but is for all believers of all times.


Why should we limit ourselves? Why can't we create universes? Why can't we do anything we can dream of? The Bible says that we can have anything that we ask for if we have enough faith.

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Do you support the war on terror? why or why not?
Yes, I do. If we do not try and control it now it is just going to get worse down the road. :)


What do you think of the war being fought on the Euphrates River?
Interesting isn't it?


Revelation 9
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

Kind of sounds like war, doesn't it?

I know we have power given to us. We don't have the same level of power as God does, therefore we can't play God because our power does not and never will even begin to compare to the awesome power of God.

I never meant to imply that we could overpower God. But we can have anything.... Doesn't that imply that God has given us His power through Christ?

This all started when you said we can't play God all of the time. My point is we can't play God any of the time. We have power given to us and we use it at times, but that doesn't mean we get to be God for a day or something.

How do you define the age of accountability? (The age at which you go to hell if you are not a Christian) Is there a specific age? If so what is it?
No, there isn't a specific age. It is when you know the difference between right and wrong and can make logical decisions based upon that. If an adult has a child's mind, I do not believe they will be held accountable as we are.

Do you like sports? IF so, which sports do you follow?
I do like sports, but I'm not a huge fan of them. I loved watching my high school team play football, and I may go watch them tomorrow night. I can see myself getting into the NFL when I get married though. Lol....
