  • 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

    If a vow is based on a sin

    OCD and vows

    I'm beginning to learn that vows induced by a mental disorder should not be considered binding. You're by no means alone in this. Perhaps you would consider counseling or something.

    Should I keep my vow?

    I'm probably going to be seeing a doctor this Friday.

    Should I keep my vow?

    The problem is that some of these particulars vows regarding fasting, though initially induced by OCD, were willfully made at a later time. Today I broke it, though. It's getting out of hand. When people start asking if I'm sick because I'm underweight; when my mother is crying because of how...

    Should I keep my vow?

    You might be surprised. For some it's a way of life and seems so real that there really isn't any easy way to break it. Then again, a cocaine addiction is somewhat different than a psychiatric disorder.

    Vows Against Sinning

    Well, if you read the post that is currently under this one, then you might be aware that I struggle with vows too. However, I do think I can say a few things here. First, you don't set the conditions of salvation. The condition that God Himself set is faith. If you believe, then you will not...

    Pure O

    Cognitive behavioral therapy can be very helpful for some people, especially with compulsions. I'm not quite sure if it works with only the obsessions. You might want to look into seeing a Christian counselor who is trained in this sort of thing.

    Should I keep my vow?

    By the way, as Christians we've already been commanded to dedicate our lives to God. To vow that is basically promising what you've already been asked.

    Thanks for the reply. I believe you may be right about the sperm [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

    Should I keep my vow?

    Greetings all. I posted this in the men's forum last night due to the . . . masculine nature of certain problems involved; but I'm not receiving any responses, so I've decided to post it in here, which is probably where it belongs anyway. So ladies, please forgive me for giving details on male...

    These Boards Are Old

    So, I just clicked "last" to see how far back the posts on here went. The first one is said to have been done at December 31st, 1969. I find that somewhat amusing. :P

    Favorite physical attribute about yourself

    Haha...most people dye their hair in order not to be gray. It's no wonder they didn't carry it!
