  • 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

    Need to marry someone on fire for God?

    Most married people are not happy... and why? The Bible says, "a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12 That's because when the couple has God in the marriage, the bond is stronger, and sustainable. 1 Corinthians 7:39

    Young earth vs Old earth?

    I have found that certain beliefs in science are not correct, and when it is discovered that "the "science" is wrong", people adjust, so I would not rely on so-called science that posit hypotheses as fact. However, that said, I have found the Bible to be much more reliable where history is...

    Young earth vs Old earth?

    Thanks. You're asking how do I explain Genesis 2:3 in conjunction with Exodus 20:11? The Bible explains. The simple answer is... Whereas, God refers to the Sabbath, or rest, of Genesis 2:3, at Exodus 20:11, that rest is not the same rest (Sabbath) the Israelites were commanded to observe...

    I had a game planned to start my first project, but you just gave me a challenge I find hard to resist. :grin: I'm going to start with a pinball game.

    When you say they are "parallel passages", can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by that, thanks.

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    Thanks. I leave it to each person to decide, but I just wanted to make clear that there are certain thing that must be unanimous among the body of Christ, and appreciate hearing how you felt about... Does the game promote violence? For example, is violence the primary feature, or prominent in...

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    Is it right to kill someone to protect your family though? I had a debate on this with persons before. Should we arm ourself with a gun, or sword, to do some damage? :grin: That would make an interesting topic for a new thread. I'm certain it will touch on what I was saying about desensitizing...

    Young earth vs Old earth?

    No problem. A little under 6,000 years is fine. People do say this. However, Genesis 28:10 is not a summary. It reads... Jacob [yatsa - went out, or departed] left Beersheba and [halak - walked, came, proceeded, moved] set out for Haran. That's followed by Genesis 28:11... On reaching a certain...

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    Thanks. Even though I do think... a lot... it's not my thinking, really. It's more, God's thinking, as I getting God's mind on the matter, so tat my thoughts would be aligned with his thoughts. So, in any event where I might be led by my treacherous heart, I would be repeating God's view in my...

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    My thoughts... if I were talking to myself. :grin: Cory, you read it there in God's word... which is for our instruction, so as to make us complete. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 God does not leave us in doubt, uncertainty, or confusion, because according to Paul, the body of Christ.... I exhort you...

    Young earth vs Old earth?

    How you arrived at an age of 5,786 is of interest to me, as well as the OP, and perhaps a few other. Would you mind sharing the mathematical equation (figures, or numbers, and calculations) with us? I'm not seeing any figures applied to Genesis 1:1, 2, and from Genesis 1:3-2:4, the days are...

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    One thing I can tell you, as a long time gamer, is that games made in the 20th century are not very creative. The creative minds of the past, made, and still make the best games. So, if you want to find a game that's not a bundle of meaningless confusion... The only downside, is that most...

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    I'm not going to take a look at the list, because I might be critical, and then your list might be blank. :D So, I'll let you decide... unless you really would like me to evaluate it from the scriptural perspective.

    For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

    They did say Jesus got his power from the ruler of the demons, so they did understand that magical powers were from spirits. That's interested, isn't it. It shows that people were aware of the angelic beings, and deliberately involved themselves with them, so that they could have personal gain.
