• 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

1. Lot got drunk and committed incest.
2. Abraham doubted God and committed adultery.
3. Jacob deceived his father.
4. Moses murdered.
5. David murdered and committed adultery.
6. Jonah got angry with God (in a sinful way)
7. Paul (Saul) murdered Christians

A wise Christian will watch for opportunities to do good, to speak the gospel to the lost and pray the rescuing prayer of intercession for the Holy Spirit to convict the lost to know Christ

a wise Christian will defend the Sheep and himself from wolves .

Other men's vices should make us even more alert , not be co-yoked into making decisions with atheists liberals homosexuals and anti-Trinitarians!

Brethren....don't forget about Puritan Board :)
My forum of choice these days. I like that they hold their members to a confessional standard.

That really solves problems that CF has had since its inception. Erwin and the rest need to realize that they will never experience this utopian "All Christians under one roof" concept because there are just as many wolves here as sheep (maybe more). Moreover, you have a staff of laypeople who are unqualified to shepherd the flock, and consequently, are not fitted to hold its membership accountable to its profession. These latest rules where membership is even further watered down by allowing the God-haters the same privileges as the faithful simply reinforces the confusion suffered by the site staff. It's not going to get better; it's going to get worse. The only thing that can save CF is a return to authentic, biblical Christianity.

Not to be too nitpicky but CF is not and never has been a church.
Nevertheless, it claims to be a ministry. If so, a ministry of what church? If none, on what authority does its staff presume to minister?

This thread saddens me.

I left CF because the old CF didn't let me preach calvinism. I came back when Erwin made the changes. :thumbsup:

After reading comments from fellow reformed and calvinist is making me think of my doctrinal beliefs regarding God's Sovereign relating to Reformed and Calvinism. The bad events are circumscribed by a loving providence and God promises to use them all for His ultimate good for HIS GLORY. There is a verse in the Bible that God promises that there won’t be anything so bad happen to me that I am not able to bear it. God does everything--He governs everything. Faith is accepting God's Will.

I have alot of thinking to do about my faith and my relationship with Reformed theology & Calvinism. :sigh:
Faith is believing one is a sinner in need of a savior; and believing that Christ is that Savior.

I could claim to be Ronald Reagan. That wouldn't make it true.

CF is a messageboard. That's it.

As you noted above no church that we know about has created this site as an online presence. The only authority is Erwin.

I am not amused by the recent developments on CF.

Just in case I wanted to leave this place: does anyone know how one can delete onself?

I only found some "edit" options....


PS: I am not leaving (yet) - as long as we have the SR.

You can change the email on your account and scramble your password.

Which is the truth.?

You can not remove your membership, why do you think "membership" numbers are so high?

Just walk away if that is your wish. That is basically what I have done
