  • 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.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Just to clarify, I am a subscriber to the pre Adamic creation theory. I expect you know what that is, but for anyone else: The word "was" can readily be translated "became". So some, including me, believe that the creation in Genesis was a restoration of what was destroyed by a universal flood...

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Not every word that Jesus spoke was a parable. So why do you dismiss the Genesis account of creation and what followed? There is ample evidence for a world wide flood. Sure, no one can verify that now, but neither can they prove it did not happen. Jesus referred to the days of Noah. Was Jesus...

    Why Christianity

    I would start with John's gospel. It is written with the intent of revealing the real Jesus. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. God is more interested in us knowing Him than we are in knowing God.

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    Either God's word is true or He is a liar. The fable of evolution is the construct of men who had no knowledge of how a cell was constructed. And I mean, constructed. DNA is programmed like a computer. Bill Gates said that DNA is a vastly more complex program than anything people have devised...

    How do I stop doubting? (in prayer, or regarding the Gospel)

    You will have to decide that God's word is your only authority. Satan is the one who casts doubt on God's word - exactly as he did with Eve in Eden. He tried the same trick with Lord Jesus - "If you be the Son of God............" Start each day by declaring the truth of God's word, whether you...

    Stability in Christ

    Has anyone managed to sit comfortably on a stool with only two legs? The least you need is three. Otherwise, you become, in effect, the third leg, having to hold it up yourself. Too many Christians live as if they were the 'third leg". It's as if God has provided the way to salvation and heaven...

    Life and Light

    John 1:5 "The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it]." Amplified Verse 4 tells us that the Life in Christ is the Light for all mankind. Where is the Life of Christ right now? Is it not in...

    Absolute proof.. can't deny.. the earth is flat

    Slander is contrary to God's word. You are engaging in exactly that. What are your qualifications to make such a judgement? Are you an astronomer? Pilot? Scientist? You believe that millions of people involved in the various space programs are liars? People from India, China, Russia, Europe...

    Facts to disprove theory of evolution

    The writer is not claiming to be a reporter. You still have not answered the very basic question. What is factually incorrect about the article? And what gives you the right to declare "phony"? Because it does not agree with the evolutionist "theory"?

    Facts to disprove theory of evolution

    Do you believe that it is impossible for a scientist to be ignorant of every discipline but his own specialisation? I do not.

    Sacrament and the Word

    Yes. The Salvation Army offers no sacraments. That's the extreme, a reaction to the false sacramental theology. They do not teach against sacraments. Can you be saved and be Salvation Army? For sure. But they miss out on the blessing that accompanies obedience to God's word.

    Getting grumpier in my old age

    I have a little sympathy for the staff. Often, they are required to go through the motions of offering help, even if they don't believe it is necessary. If one person complains, which is highly likely these days, then the staff member is in trouble. I laugh it off. "It's ok, I had my weeties...

    Sacrament and the Word

    Very simple. Jesus said to do it in remembrance of Him.
