  • 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

    And he said they were leaders of the congregation. Which doesn't mean it wasn't true. We come from different backgrounds. I see Christianity as being particularly attractive to oppressed people and far less attractive to the wealthy and powerful. There was a reason why Jesus said that the...

    Read the seminal works of Radical Feminism. Radical feminism is a distinct strand of second-wave feminism that locates women’s oppression in sex-based power relations rather than primarily in class, law, or culture. Its core claim is that patriarchy is a fundamental social system, prior to and...

    Trump eyes striking Mexican cartels

    Sounds like a good idea, but the cartels will fight, and they have already deeply infiltrated into the US.

    Any kind of "-archy" is a structure of community power and control. Patriarchy or matriarchy, both require community power and control. I say "community" because neither "patriarchy" nor "matriarchy" functionally exists at the household level. At the household level, it would be merely a...

    I just want to interrupt the Anti- Trump posts

    I think we're praying--but for different outcomes. We are definitely not of one accord.

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

    I said "A great portion, perhaps most...." And that would not have been merely Corinth but all the other congregations. A couple of Roman officials are recorded as observing Christianity being a religion of "women and slaves," including Pliny the Younger.] And as has been discussed in this...

    My daughter speaks of the very obtainable state of "benign patriarchy." That's where the West has been headed for half a century, although the US had lagged somewhat behind some European nations. But that progress has been retrograded by Critical Theory in Radical Feminism in much the same...

    stevevw is talking specifically about Radical Feminism ideology, which is a specific ideology of feminism. It's also the ideology that is being primarily taught in academia. How you use the terms is irrelevant. Stevevw described the way the term is being taught in colleges across the nation...

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

    He didn't give Corinth any commands that were not practicable for other congregations. Or for us.

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

    Paul expected his letters to be shared and read among the congregations, as he indicated in his letter to the Colossians. He didn't tell any congregation anything that could not be applied to any other congregation facing the same situation.

    Is Greenland the reward?

    The first rule is: Keep your mineral rights. Never sell the mineral rights. No matter how much money you're offered up front for a full buy-out, it will be chump change in two generations if you sell your mineral rights.

    Nah, that is deflection. "Oh, look over there! That's more shiny!"

    Federal agents kill Alex Pretti

    We don't care here about "99% of the cases," we care here about this particular case. As is pointed out in both videos I linked, the officer was not attempting to arrest the woman. That was a particular point that was brought out. He wasn't moving her, he wasn't arresting her, he was merely...

    Federal agents kill Alex Pretti

    This is a split between the "2nd Amendment Absolutists" and the "Authoritarian Bootlickers." Well, that's how the 2nd Amendment Absolutists are expressing it.
