  • 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

    Why Do Christians Resist the Idea of “Social Justice”? A Theological Question

    I don't think that works. Is Satan's house divided? Are we clever enough to use his own words against him. Or is he clever enough to make us think we can use his words against us, when using his words merely confuses us? I think we should stick with Jesus' words.

    Is belief/non-belief a morally culpable state?

    What, though, is really "religious belief?" Particularly, what is our religious belief? I'm a portrait photographer, and this is a discussion I've had for years with other Christian portrait and wedding photographers, which is even more pertinent for us than it is to a baker, because we are...

    Is Tithing even necessary?

    This is true, and this is very heavy. The New Testament pushes us beyond a written-rule based framework. We're not saying the written rules of the OT don't matter, but they are not the instrument of New Testament morality. Under the New Testament, the bar is much higher than mere compliance...

    Why Do Christians Resist the Idea of “Social Justice”? A Theological Question

    Exactly, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. The Body of Christ must be wary of thinking that groups are allies because they use words that sounds at though they align with the mind of Christ. I'm aware that a difficulty in these forums is that we don't all speak English and not even the...

    President Trump renews push for Greenland, citing U.S. national security needs

    My daughter is a marketing director, and she'd tell you that, no, it's not. She does a lot more than let her CEO spout something off the cuff to the press.

    Is Greenland the reward?

    Ukraine didn't start that war. If Russia had aspirations on Greenland, they wouldn't have started a war in Ukraine.

    President Trump renews push for Greenland, citing U.S. national security needs

    They like the way they're living now. They don't necessarily want their land ravaged by resource exploiters.

    President Trump renews push for Greenland, citing U.S. national security needs

    To "...order their marketing departments to survey their customers" is on the other side of the planet from "... just floats the idea to see how it will be accepted or rejected by the population." The marketing department knows exactly how to phrase, how to disguise, and with what chosen market...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    The Inuit in Greenland see what has become of the indigenous people of the US and Canada. They see that whatever financial offer they get from the US, it will become chump change within a couple of generations, just as it became for the indigenous people in the US who sold their mineral rights...

    Kristi Noem Says US Citizens Should Be Prepared to Prove US Citizenship

    And that status should be all ICE is concerned about. Whether the person is a citizen beyond being a legal resident should not be a concern of ICE.

    Is America a police state (if you are not white)?

    That's been said before.

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    The technical legalities are iffy for troops. An illegal order is an order that requires a soldier to break a law--a law that's applicable to that soldier. If the law is not applicable to that soldier, it's technically not illegal to order the soldier to break it. So, there is a 2023 law that...

    Is Greenland the reward?

    No, that's not what "everyone else's acquiescence" means in the context of my post about the physical difficulty of militarily occupying Greenland. In order to military occupy Greenland today (in the day of cruise missiles and drones), it requires nobody else trying to dislodge you. Being...
