  • 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

I have never been able to understand how some Christians are able to state that they are saved , and I struggle with Christians' stance on this. For me, I believe that I won't know whether or not I'm saved until the moment I leave this world to journey in the worlds of God. It's this uncertainty that makes me strive to be the best believer I can be through, prayer, acts of kindness, attempting to lead a moral life etc. No, I won't know whether or not I'm saved until the day I breathe my last

We aren't saved by living a moral life, we are saved through faith in the cross of Christ and his resurrection.
