  • 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.

    In need of prayer to get through withdrawal symptoms while I seek treatment.

    I've been addicted to adderall and vyvanse for about 15 years now. I'm talking to my doctor today to discuss how to proceed from here. Until then please pray for me. I need the peace that surpasses all understanding and deliverance from my addiction. Thank you in advance.

    The condemnation of Bibliomancy and or seeking an answer by randomly pointing within His Word.

    I should mention that I don't believe it is "forcing" an answer from God. If I open the Bible seeking an answer and the page I open to unmistakably addresses my situation, was it not because God was willing and able to provide me with a quick answer? If the page has absolutely no relation to...

    The condemnation of Bibliomancy and or seeking an answer by randomly pointing within His Word.

    Absurd? Perhaps. Impossible? Not at all. I used to get answers this way rather frequently, but this is my first time hearing it described as an occult practice or referred to as 'bibliomancy'. I certainly don't recommend anyone try it though. God does a lot of chastising and rebuking in the...

    I'm sorry I was attempting to quote someone else who was telling you not to focus on being sinless. Ask God to change your heart. I personally don't think it has anything to do with your OCD. It's a problem that a lot of Christians have but few attempt to address. It's good that you recognize...

    This is dangerous. Jesus made it possible for us to be forgiven. If you think his sacrafice means we are free to sin without consequences, you are mistaken.

    Hopeless spiritual crisis

    That's so upsetting. I was really hoping he'd have a happy ending.

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    There was more to it than that. Usually a "No" or "Do not" whenever I think about going to get it done.

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    I was about to leave to get lab work done and said to myself "I'll watch one more video before I go". I decided to watch some guy's testimony where he found Jesus and he started going on about how you shouldn't give blood and referred to it as "spiritual currency". I don't really believe in...

    God told me not to get blood drawn yesterday. Any basis for this in scripture?

    It was for routine lab work. It got me into a huge fight with my mom and dad but I was more scared of doing something I shouldn't. A quick search online yielded nothing other than we shouldn't eat blood.

    my cat doesn't purr and my female dog is crazy

    True story: my son got a hamster for Christmas. It was absolutely distressed being trapped in a cage. It would scale the walls, climb upside down, and chew on the bars desperately in an attempt to escape her fancy little prison. It made my son and I sad to watch her. This went on for weeks. Then...

    How to stop sinning

    As someone who has been struggling with the same thing since I became born again four years ago, I empathize with you. I'm not going give you the "everybody sins" cop out but I think some people here are failing to realize not everyone has the same level of hormones or self control. God sees...

    What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

    Don't try to rationalize what you don't understand. God is not rational by human standards. I saw you posted something about why Hell is eternal and "wouldn't it be less evil if..." CAREFUl with that. Just be thankful you've been given an opportunity to avoid going there.
