  • 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 the parable of the Prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32) we learn that one son safe is too few and one son lost is too many.
In the parable of the lost coin (Luke 15:8–10) we learn that eleven coins safe is too few, one coin lost is too many.
In the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:4-6) we learn that 99 sheep safe is too few, one sheep lost is too many,
So then when we look at passages like
Matthew 22:14
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
And
Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it

Are we looking at a percentage or a perspective?

God Bless
