  • 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

    Life overseas

    Maybe you ought to get to know the people who are not "just nice", as you put it. Instead of distancing yourself from them, see it as a mission field.

    I Am Sick Of Being Persecuted By Christians!

    Are you sure others are actually persecuting you? Could it be that they are very concerned about your eternity and are therefore pointing out the errors of your chosen denomination?

    Very bizarre situation!

    Ohhhh, OK. Now I understand. It must've hurt you a great deal that he already had things from another girl in his house before you two had even broken up. Do yourself a favor. Move on with your own precious life. God is in control. I hope you'll meet a nice guy soon.

    Very bizarre situation!

    You should move on with your own life. Why are you rummaging through your ex's things in his house....and looking at her stuff??????

    Sleep

    Sounds like me. It's a sign of stress and worry. After I wake up around 3 am I force myself to stay in bed and totally relax my body until it's time to get up. I don't get up at 3 am because I don't want my body getting used to it and let the whole thing become a habit. Also I don't allow...

    My children’s marriages are delayed. Can Jesus remove the barriers?

    I don't understand the question either. The original poster is in India....many people there arrange marriages for their children when they are still little children. Maybe it's something to do with that.

    I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. What is it you would like to know? You gave us two phrases in English....what do you want us to translate?

    Meeting my Uncle's partner for the first time

    Excellent advice. Shunning these people is not the answer. We also tend to forget that sin is sin. We have all the different sins neatly categorized. In our eyes murder, homosexuality, adultery and the like rate as awful, horrible sins.....whereas stealing, lying, etc., are more acceptable...

    When the Bible speaks to you.

    Goldenviolet....don't take it personally. He is only pursuing this thread about satanism for attention. He loves to argue, call people simple-minded, and put them down. I feel terribly sorry for him, he seems to be a very lonely individual who gets no attention from anyone in his life. This...

    Need to talk, anyone to pm or chat?

    HELP! I can't stop procrastinating!

    That's a tough one to give advice on. I used to be a procrastinator and hated it. Then I decided to just force myself to make small changes and hopefully I would progress from there. Housework used to be a problem...so my rule was to do one chore before I could do something fun....then...

    When the Bible speaks to you.

    Am I really being small minded for not considering satanism? I don't think so. And are you supposed to be posting in the "Christians Only" section????
