  • 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

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    If "every Sabbath" worship and gospel teaching services in the NT (Acts 18:4) are insufficient to see Sabbath after the cross If "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind come before Me to worship" in the New Earth (Is 66:23), is insufficient to see Sabbath observance after the cross What...

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    From "Sabbath to Sabbath" is the same as "from one Sabbath to another" Is 66:23 KJV And in Acts 18:4 we see them meeting "every Sabbath" with both gentiles and Jews in worship and Gospel preaching services. How would Isaiah's readers view his text ? (I.e. Exegesis) For an Israelite in the 8th...

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    Christ said in Matt 7 not to judge others. The rule was the same before the cross , as afterwards.

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    It is two distinct cycles, not "every day", not "daily". In the New Earth it is both New Moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath just as the text says

    Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command

    "from Sabbath to Sabbath" is not the way to omit the detail about the Sabbath Exodus 13:10 Therefore, you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year. Judges 21:19 So they said, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side...

    I have a question and I’m confused

    Paul warns the church saying this in Acts 20 Acts 20: 29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Christ's warning is stated...

    Let's evaluate the 'Charlie Kirk effect'

    Yes that is lamentable. Which is another reason why getting them to reconsider being present in church is a good thing. And once they are in church we don't blame Charlie Kirk if they then do not become on fire born again Christians, (in the case of those who don't do that), at some point the...

    Antinomianism, definition and a Question "is this you"?

    "God spoke the TEN And ADDED no more" as I pointed out before. By ignoring the details in the discussion you require that they be posted "Again" Deut 4: 13 So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone...

    Do you believe in Creationism or Evolutionism?

    1. Genesis one and two are written in the form of historical narrative narrative. 2. Genesis 1 is a time boxed chronological sequence where the units of time are known to Moses' readers and they are hard wired into stone in Ex 20:8-11, in legal code. 3.The evening morning boundary feature is...

    Let's evaluate the 'Charlie Kirk effect'

    The "all news is bad news " theme is not appealing to a lot of people. I can take that renewed interest in church as a good thing Charlie never claimed to be a pastor or a minister. And yet he started to speak out on the need to take time out and worship God. He began to talk about what the...

    I have a question and I’m confused

    Oh I fully agree that my query selects for "sola scriptura" testing of all doctrine rather than sola tradition or even "tradition as source". Paul warns the church saying in Acts 20: 29 I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among...

    Was Jesus more of a leftest or a right winger?

    True. When questioned by the oppressed population (the Jews in Israel,) about the civil government and taxes Jesus' response was not rebellion or insurrection, rather it was "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's. After all, God had rescued Israel from...

    AI search says Adventists are the largest single denomination holding to Sola Scriptura

    Given that a lot of us use search engines so it is too late to create a story of the form "never use a search engine", this thread has a lot of common ground application

    I have a question and I’m confused

    What should we preach in these last days?

    Current events "signs of the times", the IOUs are piling up. GC 588 speaks of two great errors that surface at the end of time. How "instructive" that Charlie Kirk's book on the Sabbath comes out in December and so also does Kirk Cameron's statement on Hell and on the mortal soul idea hits the...
