  • 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

    New Member - OCD, Coincidence and God

    What you are doing is called "put out fleeses". Read Judges 6:38-40. It is a topic of debate as to if this is an acceptable thing to do or not. I personally think it's wrong in that it's like we're testing God, or showing a lack of faith. As a person with OCD, I know we make mountains out of...

    Is faith a choice? Can you simply choose not to doubt?

    Raven1, what could anyone tell you to make you feel better? There is going to have to be a time, now or 30 years from now, it's your call, when you look in the mirror and say "this is BS and I'm not doing it anymore". "I'm tired of letting this disorder ruin my life." Your like a drowning...

    All my fault

    I mean no disrespect to hollyda or any other atheist/agnostic when i ask this question, as a matter of fact I believe hollyda is spot on with their advice concerning ocd. But Ravin, how did you come to the conclusion that atheist/agnostics are smarter than Christians?

    Advice about a new situation?

    Ask yourself this question: Are these things something, that after great thought, you would say to God's face and mean it? If not, don't worry about it. You can't control fleeting thoughts that go through your mind. It's called "being human". Good luck with the new job, and grow that garden if...

    Can this be forever

    X2 what she said. I all boils down to this, there has to be a time when YOU say ENOUGH!! I'm not doing this anymore. It's up to you if that time is today or 30 years from now. I know it's not as easy as I make it sound, but it's true. Yes meds and therapy can help, ALOT, but in the end it has...

    If I believe in Heaven, Christ, God and I know I'm going to Heaven, ....

    It's normal for even the most devout Christian to have those doubts in the back of their mind. But I don't think it's so much about doubting that God and heaven exist, as it is just an experience that we know very little about, the process and all. Even if your confident of your final...

    Struggling with OCD

    Hi Apricot0194, It's a bad news/ good news situation. Bad news is this is probably not something that's just going away on it's on. Your probably not going to "work it out", or "wait it out", as you already know if your 5 or 6 years in already. It's not a spiritual thing and I personally...

    What if no matter how hard you try you can't believe in God

    Ravin, this is the best advise you've received on this thread so far. Your on here asking advise from people who have been in your shoes and recovered, and had their faith restored. People who have not experienced this first hand, although they mean well (even your pastor), can't relate to...

    Seeing a Therapist in couple days

    What kind of therapist are you seeing that you can't discuss God and religion? Is he from your school or something? It really won't matter, because your fears about God and religion are just symptoms. The problem he will be dealing with is the OCD. I'm glad your getting help, it is possible...

    Please Someone Help! I Need Advise!

    Congratulations healmyheartlord on becoming a Christian. It's by far the best decision you will ever make. But it's not always the easiest decision. Just let me say this about your friends and your relationship with them now. Having becoming a Christian, you have become a "witness" for...

    Do the thoughts feel like your own?

    gtp40 I know it has to hurt for your father to be treating you the way he is, and I'm not making excuses for him, but people who have never experienced this themselves just don't understand. People who don't understand are like that old joke where the man is telling his Dr. that "it hurts...

    If I keep thinking

    Jesusisgood, do you now or have you ever had OCD? I'm just curious, because by reading your post I don't think you've ever experienced what these guys are going through. Some of your comments are doing more harm than good. Listen guys, the devil is enjoying your suffering because it makes you...
