  • 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

In response to the pagan notions seen elsewhere, and

as strange as it may seem, there is a connection between sex and our relationship with God.

Material creation is for a reflection of divine reality.

The clouds are for a reflection of God's invisibility.

Human life by the seed from man is a reflection of eternal life by the seed of God, which is the word.

"The life is in the blood" is a reflection of eternal life in the blood of Christ (his sacrificial death) for all who believe (Ro 3:25).

Likewise, the pleasure and intimacy of sex is a reflection of all the references in the NT to God and Christ "in us," the Church, the bride and body of Christ, the two-in-one-flesh of marriage.

God designed sex as a reflection of his pleasure in his intimacy with those he loves; i.e., those who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ.

It was his divine wisdom which gave sex as a reflection of his pleasure in intimacy with those he loves.

Staggering!
