  • 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

We are right now living in the time of the APOSTASY, The great falling away. "Falling away" simply means that a people turn away from faith in God to trusting other things.
Then these other things become IDOLS. When we have idols in our hearts, we are blinded to the things of God.
People in APOSTASY begin calling something church that is not the church. They begin calling people Christians who are not Christians.
In almost every funeral service today, people are preached into heaven. But the Bible says "the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it" (Matt. 7:14).

Did you ever stop to think about all the different ways people are going to heaven today? Isn't it strange that everyone is going to the same place, but they are all speaking a different language.

I share your concern and sadness. Thank you for bringing this up. I don't know if we're allowed to discuss things in this thread or not, but if so, I have a question for you or anyone else who wishes to comment. What can we do about apostasy?
