  • 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

    These are tough times for me

    Hello, I am sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with things. My father had alzheimers and he lived with me until he passed away a few years ago. Taking care of him was not easy. Many times it just didnt feel like it was worth it... oh, and appriciated? Dont count on it. I was an only...

    How do you witness to a sik?

    Please... someone... please... I give up. What on earth is a "sik?" I have looked for clues in these posts, didnt find many. I feel like an idiot. I wanted to just let it go but its driving me crazy! LOL Fill me in, please! Chenoa

    Is the expression: "Oh my God" offensive?

    Exactly! You summed it all up yourself, perfectly! (Though being from Texas, I know many who really do call on God where the Cowboys are concerned! LOL)

    Is the expression: "Oh my God" offensive?

    Exo 20:7 You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain. For Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain. Its taking his most Holy name in vain. Its pretty much using is as you would a curse word. When you say this, you are not speaking of God, you are using his...

    my friend

    I suppose these are some personal issues and that is why you didnt post exactly what the problem was. Are you both Christians? Have you done or said something to offend her? It sounds to me like she is being a bit defensive. Maybe avoiding the subject because she doesnt want to rehash it again...

    Dreams Come True?

    Hey copycat! Nice name you got there! LOL :thumbsup: Yes, actually I have had these things happen to me. Sometimes they are something minor like you mentioned... things like that make me think, if God gave you such a minor dream, does it mean anything at all? Perhaps this friend needs...

    How do you know?

    I tend to believe that the Holy Spirit and ones conscience are one and the same. I believe that we are convicted and feel the pangs of guilt and get internal "warning signs" that something is wrong. As far as deciphering Gods voice in general from your own thoughts or from Satans voice or...

    Emotional 9 Year Old, Any Thoughts?

    This is crazy! I think we have the same daughter! LOL My #2 child is 9 and she is the exact same way! It was last year when her school called and mentioned she had been unusually emotional. For her, its usually something at school, a fight with a friend, another kid picking on her... she wont...

    Evil Dreams

    Yes, I have done this. Stood up to a demon, rebuked it, and it left. When I was 19, I began having recurring dreams of demons following me, haunting me. I had these for almost a year. I would even be visiting at someone elses house, stay the night and then I would dream of the demons telling...

    Encouraging harmony in the home

    Hee hee :angel: Thank you... I doubt my kids are feeling the same way tonight. I threw them out in the cold. I did. They just wouldnt stop arguing! So I made them go out, told them to come back in when they could get along. First my 9 yr old immediately sticks her head back in the door and...

    Space Between

    Hmm... I suppose it depends on a few different things. Maybe its different for everyone... My daughters are 12, 9 and 4. The first two were about (oh my math is sooo bad!) 2 1/2 years apart with the third coming in about 3 1/2 years later. I think I heard someone say once that 2 years apart...

    Encouraging harmony in the home

    Oh no, thats not how it is, they both do get in trouble... what I mean is this; 15 seconds into telling me the problem, one will raise their voice at me and I ask them to stop... they will say "Isnt SHE going to get in trouble?" Before I have had a chance to even hear the whole situation or...
