  • 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

    Advice Needed Concerning Christmas

    Thank you all for the great advice and information. I think I'll go cry now. Oh my goodness. Some of y'all are kind of mean. I sure am sorry that I made so many people angry. I think I understand better than ever now. I will just go back to avoiding all human contact during this time.

    Advice Needed Concerning Christmas

    I thoroughly enjoy reading the story of Jesus's birth. I also like the songs celebrating his birth. Seems a shame to only read the story and sing the songs once a year.

    Pentecostal view of panic attacks making me feel worse

    I struggle with anxiety as well, along with depression, PTSD, and a personality disorder. I fall in the category of Pentecostal.

    Advice Needed Concerning Christmas

    That may very well be, but that's something I have to figure out. So far everytime I have compromised on something, though, it's come back to bite me. I just don't want to hurt feelings.

    Advice Needed Concerning Christmas

    I no longer observe Christmas or Easter, because I know they are just rebranded pagan holidays. I don't try to push that belief on anyone else, although I rarely get the same consideration. Those who sort of understand it will say things like, "well, it won't hurt for you to come eat dinner with...

    Old Testament Law, Meet Modern Society

    No. The Bible tells us Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and made a new covenant. Paul called the law "the ministry of death". The law was a curse/school master given to a stiff necked people who boasted to God that they could do anything he commanded. Returning to the law would make the...

    Trump's Election Has Increased Optimism Throughout the Country

    Everytime a new president is "elected" his followers call him a savior and his "opponents" call him a devil. Calling Trump anti-establisment is like calling Beelzebub anti-Satan. He is the establishment. Things are not going to get better just because we now have a president with no couth and...

    Emotional and Spiritual Crisis

    My second year as a Christian has been turbulent to say the least. I got a job, then lost it. I got a promotion and short circuited. I failed at that big time. I fell in love with a man who turned out to be using me to clean his house for free and the little bit of money I was making. I feel...
