  • 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

    Question for rapture people

    I do not say there should not be such trust in God. But then if we do, we should do as God directs us, it is not what others say what God wants. God had shown most important things for what to do at the start. We are supposed to have good stewardship in this world. There is really failure in...

    Christianity, the Sabbath, Ten Comm, from Eden onward

    God's grace to believers, who are included in the new covenant and have security in Christ with the restoration to Yahweh, releases them from consequences from judgment which the law shows could come. Others are under the judgment still, shown by the law. Christ was showing that commandments...

    Prosecutors in Trump investigation resign

    Trump is always about himself, how that can be missed is not clear. Nothing significant happened, to him, but what a big deal was made of his ear being shot, and doing this while others had died. And people believed in him more, from what I see, just from what apparent miracle there was, sort of...

    Puritan Pub (2)

    I understand that it is the original writings from which we have the Bible that are the inspired words from the Spirit of God. Copies themselves, and translations are not the inspired words themselves and are reliable only where they are faithful to what was originally given. It is not always...

    Puritan Pub (2)

    If any are interested in this online Bible version that I like, it is WEB, World English Bible. I access it freely on Bible Gateway.

    Puritan Pub (2)

    I am sure the green tea I use is better for me. Some days I just seem to need the coffee more, though. I found coconut milk when I saw it was in and could look also is fortified in the way that I want. So I think I will be getting coconut milk more often now. I have some good Bibles, but packed...

    Trump hiding heavily-bruised hand with makeup

    Trump's dementia is already observable, almost publicly. But of course certain media news will never show anything of that.

    Benefits from the few to last

    Jecharon said, "The creatures around here never had even any suggestion of a threat to us, but we did have to be careful. I think what we should see is that if we are never threatening to any creatures around us, they will not be threatening to us. We must always continue this way with leaving...

    Limited vs unlimited atonement?

    Try using passages you show, and explaining your interpretation. For what you say about not all being God's children, I say not all are in God's image. Yet there isn't anything shown for God's heart being distinct from what God does. Where is such a passage about God's heart? That is an imposed...

    Limited vs unlimited atonement?

    I did not find conflicting passages, or seemingly conflicting passages, for this. It is your interpretation that has some conflict. So the issue to resolve is yours. My understanding is completely consistent with it shown that God is love. God's care is not limited. Nothing of God is limited...

    Are we born again by loving God and others? Please share scriptures and thoughts. Thank you.

    It was pretty much a yes or no question. So, no? There aren't any? Really?

    Are we born again by loving God and others? Please share scriptures and thoughts. Thank you.

    Are there any that you are not loving? That you will not love?

    Pyramids and the flood

    I do not know when the flood that only Noah with his family along with any of the land animals with them survived actually happened. I do not conclude an exact chronology by years can be known. There might actually be time in between things not taken into account. What things we have known to us...
