  • 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

Some people say the bible has allowed us humans to eat anything, including pigs while the Jews say no. I don't get it. Can we or can we not eat pigs? I personally think we can't eat that since they are like the scum of the earth, cleaning up the garbage to balance out nature. So it's kinda weird to eat them. It's like eating cockroach.

It's not what goes into ones mouth that defiles a man, it's what comes out of it.
- No food is unclean. When you're not fasting, only the rules from Acts apply - no food from idols, no blood, no strangled animals.

WHEN you fast, don't be like the hypocrites.
- There are 2 types of fasting: complete abstinence, which is generally used a reverence before Communion and selective, where one would avoid certian foods & reduce the amount ones eats, in addition to avoiding iniquities, & pray. Generally, this type of fast is done on Wednesday and Friday and before the major church holidays, like Christmas and Easter.
