  • 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

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    They said that they loved Jesus Christ, but they were liars because they did not keep/obey his commandments. John 14:15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. What happens to all liars? Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, those who commit murder...

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    A person's works are what is judged to determine if he was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. A person's works are what is judged to determine if he truly believed in Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. James 2:24...

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    We can choose to obey our fleshly desires and be condemned, both body and soul, to the lake of fire, or else we can choose to obey the Holy Spirit, who will then make our bodies immortal and incorruptible after our resurrection at the end of time.

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    The white throne judgment and the sheep and goats judgment are the same event, depicted by two viewpoints. This one judgment will be at the end of time. Likewise, there was only one passion and death of Jesus Christ, but the gospel writers each had their own viewpoint of this event. John...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe...

    The Spirit Of Faith

    I think the best thing to do is to ask for what you want and then to pray that God's will be done rather than your own will. Luke 22:42

    The Spirit Of Faith

    Jesus was telling his apostles that their faith was even less than the size of a mustard seed. They were each given a greater measure of faith than what they were using. Luke 12:48, Mark 9:24 Romans 12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more...

    Adventists at the Crossroads of Legalism and Righteousness by Faith

    I think the 60s' debauchery was a result of the lack of spiritual leadership in our country. I don't remember any sermons that addressed this debauchery. Government leaders were also mostly Christians, and they also did nothing except to accommodate and promote this debauchery in the laws that...

    It is near

    :wave: Randy, God's judgment is indeed very near to all of us here on earth right now. When we die, we are immediately judged, and then we will go to the place that has been prepared for us to await the second coming of Jesus Christ and his eschatological kingdom, which will be at the end of...

    2Timothy 2:10-13

    Jesus expects his followers to imitate his obedience to his Father's will; do the good works that God prepared for them to do before he created the world. Ephesians 2:10 At the Judgment, will Jesus judge us worthy to enter eternal life because we said we had faith in him to save us, or will he...

    Adventists at the Crossroads of Legalism and Righteousness by Faith

    Did you mean "Vatican II" Catholics? I think it is more than just a different interpretation of what it means to be Catholic: it is historical Catholicism vs. a descent into modernism. Historical Catholics treated their churches as sanctuaries, not town halls. There wasn't any talking in...

    The Spirit Of Faith

    I think Jesus was admonishing them that they should have more faith. Matthew 8:26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You...

    From the Levitical priestly order - to the Order of Melchizedek

    Jesus does not transfer his righteousness onto us. When we are baptized as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-20, our sins are washed away, the Holy Spirit of Grace enters our souls, and it is his presence that sanctifies us (makes us righteous).

    The Sabbath, Worship and the End Time

    I think Jesus explains what is most important: Matthew 21:28-31 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 “Then the father went to the...
