  • 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

If you do not listen then you will not gain in understanding.
Some would say that the mind could not know the Truth about God--that the mind of God is beyond the reach of man. However, the Truth was made for the mind to handle; therefore God sent his son, Jesus Christ to reveal the Truth before men.
Many would say that God is unknowable; but that is far from the case because if you have seen the son then you have seen the Father.
Many would say that God is a tyrant or a hundred feet tall. Maybe that God is so far out of reach that a man can never know God. Or perhaps that he is the ruler of great riches and power.
To these type of men, that perceive God in such away, perhaps God is far out of their reach.
Men have no power to look for God in the lame or crippled or poor. They see such things and say in their hearts, God is better than such things, he must be up on high.
And he is up on high beyond your reach. He is found in the lowliest of places that men fail to look upon. He is found dwelling with the blind and crippled and the lame and the poor. Men just fail to see such things because of their own faults--their pursuit for money and power and pleasure; therefore they turn away form the lowliest of places (where God dwelleth) and turn their hearts to their own selfishness.
And then men go out to describe God as being an angry one and something to be feared; but what men really fear in God is the darkness of their own souls.
It says in scripture that perfect love casts out fear and it also says that the pure of heart will see God; and what do the pure of heart have to fear in God?
God is like a foggy vision that disappears when the mind comes to know Truth. And no one comes to the Father but through the son.
Jesus said, I Am The Truth.
This you will not accept.

The universe is a vast place of many strange and wonderful things that humans with our vast inquisitivness have tried to explain since time immemorial.
Lacking the tools to properly examine our world we couldn't explain natural phenomena and saw motives and personalities behind the seasons and illness and the like.
We called them Gods and decided we now had "understanding".
