  • 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

Christians are open to the ways that God's power, goodness/love, and righteousness can be manifested throughout His Creation. This would include the diversity God has created through different nations' religions that genuinely support the love of Him. This would include the different Christian denominations like the Lutherans, Evangelicals, 7th day Adventists, etc. Since they hint at God supporting His Creation against various types of satanic deception in the future as well as the present in America. Faiths like Islam, and Catholicism, and Sikhism I would also include since they support the love of God to save individuals with other cultural histories so they can partake in the humbling of the flesh which works against satan's ideology of thinking that people have to be the same in order to be close to God or to survive His Judgement.

On the topic of Judgement, in order to be presentable to God during Judgement Day, Christians have to be able to humble our flesh (who we are on the earth) before Him so then He can add to it instead of taking away when the world is made anew by fire. So we fully believe in the ways God sustains us knowing that we are not responsible for our success in this present world or the new one. We also respect the things God made us for that He has given to us today to do His Will for our individual lives. (1 Corinthians 3) I know it can sound complicated when expressed in human words but it's very easy for humans to do and isn't burdensome. A simple way to start is let God take credit for everything that makes you unique.


With those previous things being said, Christians cannot be a part of the satanic deception that they can misrepresent God's Goodness/Love and Righteousness. It's an essential part of being Christian and one cannot be without representing His Power or we deny what Christ actually did by dying on the Cross, resurrecting from the grave, and ascending into the heavens. In other words, if you believe that God is the sustainer of your Life God will show others that this is true. Even if it may not physically look like what you think you should look like with God backing you, it will always show spiritually. This is what faith is; "the evidence of things unseen;" the proof of what God has given to you and is supporting you with. Jesus "died" so then faith would be more visible no matter how much humanity sins against God.

The whole of Christianity is the gospel of good news which includes Jesus death on the cross and His resurrection. Anything short of that is not Christianity. Both Islam and Shikhism do not believe in Christ and His resurrection, therefore they are not part of Christianity.

Believe that Jesus is your Lord and savior and died for the sins of the world. Believe that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected three days later and now sits on the right hand of the Father. Believe that if you have faith in Jesus you will never perish but have eternal life.

I am a Nicene Christian which means that I believe that the Nicene creed includes the tenets of Christianity. The Nicene Creed is the statement of faith for Christian Forums and is included in the forum posting rules.

Basically the gospel you need is this:
1- Believe in the Jesus of the bible and don't let Him go.
2- Be filled with the Holy spirit like the disciples at pentecost.

You wouldn't need to know anything else for a long time.
Lots of christians fail at number 2, for bad theologies, bad propaganda against those who believe in being filled and the power of God etc.
