• 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.

Is God a fool?

There are 33,000 different denominations of Christianity, and 33,000 different interpretations of scripture. And every one of them thinks they have the keys to heaven.

Can a house divided against itself stand? And, if the "church" is the body of Christ, what is to be said for 33,000 different factions that mercilessly tear it apart?

These inconsistencies not only impede the Church's mission on earth, but leaves all walks of faithful - and by extension, God - vulnerable to derision and mockery.

Unification may be the most important tasks facing Christians. How can people be converted if they don't even know what to believe?

What can be done?


This is not true... it originates from a Roman Catholic apologists that counted every Baptist and every non denominational church as a denomination ..
