  • 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

    Is the concept of the Trinity supposed to baffle me?

    Thanks both of you, that actually helped without me even actually understanding exactly why. Especially to your Juelrei, your answers were succinct, concise and to the point. I don't know why exactly, it just kind of makes sense without having any real explanation or any need to reason as to...

    Is the concept of the Trinity supposed to baffle me?

    I think I understand well enough the relationship. God is the Father. Christ is Christ, the Father is also Christ, Christ is not the Father, Christ is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, the Father is also the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is not the Father, The Holy...

    Christian suicide question.

    So then, can you justify suicide? What about altruistic suicide? Killing yourself to the benefit of others? For example, you're dirt poor, your wife falls sick and needs incredibly expensive treatment. You kill yourself so they can claim under insurance, get the money, and your wife gets...

    So what is the problem with masturbation exactly?

    Ok, let's rephrase the question, with an added point, that there's nothing particularly wrong with the act of masturbating in and of itself. Do you think it's possible to touch without porn?

    So what is the problem with masturbation exactly?

    The scripture I was referring to was actually 1 Thess 4:3-6. (Good News Version) 4 Each of you should know how to live with your wife in a holy and honorable way, 5 not with a lustful desire, like the heathen who do not know God. So, now upon reading it, my intial argument against it was...

    So what is the problem with masturbation exactly?

    Actually I forget which letter it is, but somewhere in Paul's letters, I think it's Corinthians, he actually says not to lust after your wife. So technically masturbating while.holding your wife in your thoughts is still.immoral. Christian sexuality is incredibly divided and fractured. No...

    Testimony to quitting

    Well, I've been trying to quit cigarettes for a while now. It's been two days, and I do feel much better. I've tried everything, e-cigarettes, patches, spray, gums, CBT, pure will power. Of all of them, actually pure will power worked the best. But alas, I failed every single time, again and...

    Weed and God

    I had exactly the same problem as you. I smoked an absolute ton of bud. I would smoke every morning with a coffee, pop outside of my lectures to smoke a phattie, I mean I stank so badly people stared at me and I had absolutely no idea why. I would sit around and try and achieve the "zen" of...

    So what is the problem with masturbation exactly?

    Ok, so I get the general idea of what makes masturbation "wrong". It's not the act itself that is considered a sin, but rather the lust or desire that overwhelms one while in the act of masturbation. This isn't good, for any number of reasons quoted in scripture, but primarily because the...

    Wait what?

    Yeah I understand that those ads work on certain conditions, it's not that CF neccessarily actively promotes those ads. Sorry this isn't really the right forum to bring this information about, I will discuss it elsewhere, it just kind of threw me off. About myself; I have willingly...
