• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I have given things some thought this week and come to several conclusions.

First of all I want to leave certain things behind. One of these is EGW and all of the debates that I either originated or participated in. You know my opinion on it, and I know your opinions on it. That doesnt bring us any closer and cause more confusion and division.

So I considered to no longer participate in this forum, because there is actually no point in it...

But then I thought I kinda like it here, we have a similar background and EGW shouldnt be our basis. It should be Jesus. And while we dont have to agree on most/all subjects we can still be friends in the internet sense of the word ;)

Like I said I dont want that debate thing anymore, it will not help you and doesnt serve my uplifting. If I have an idea/concept/question regarding bible or other matters, then I will post it, and be interested in your comments, ideas, views and opinions.


I hope that will be OKAY with you...

That's a good start! I don't mind just discussing the bible and never bringing EGW and her quotes in for or against.

:clap::amen::thumbsup::prayer::idea:Well---ok then--You gonna try sneaking in the back door instead, huh? ^_^So--what's your first question?


Don't worry, I am a man of intergrity and I think I have made myself clear and its not like I am gonna come up every day new and threads and stuff. I just said that I not gonna argue with EGW anymore and in this regard will not dig up no dirt no more. Of course, since the field of theology is a vast one it may not always comply with EGW theology, so if thats what you call sneaking in the back door, well, maybe... occasionally...
