  • 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

God blessed sex between a man and woman at creation.

Genesis 1:27-28 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it...

What has sinful man done with this blessing?

Gov. John Lynch signed the bills just after 5:20 p.m. before dozens of enthusiastic supporters of same-sex marriage.

God blessed the seventh day at creation.

Genesis 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

What has sinful man done with this blessing?

THE COUNCIL OF LAODICEA 364 A.D.
CHRISTIANS must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.

Do you see a pattern here?

Man does not want anything to do with God.

One thing I find interseting is that in the year 364-AD Christians were keeping the Sabbath and were trying to convince others to do the same other wise why enact and enforce this law?

Revelation 14:12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Who's side are you on?

Sinful man corrupts much.

For example, we might consider the many ways in which man has corrupted the sabbath commands given by God to Israel. We could consider the ways in which man has taken that which was meant by God to be a blessing to Israelites and has turned it into a salvational requirement for Gentiles living immediately prior to the second coming.

There are many examples.

For example, we might consider the many ways in which man has uscerped God's authority to become the mandator of human decorum, even on issues not specifically addressed in Scripture.

One might wonder how God views such corruption.
