  • 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

    Anxious all the time about getting tickets.

    I just got back on the road not too long ago and I am always anxious. I’ve had a history of fender benders and hitting objects but I have never gotten a ticket. I’m always worried that one day I’ll get a speeding ticket or a red light ticket in the mail if not by a police officer. Sometimes I...

    I keep making enemies at my old apartment complex

    I returned the keys to my old apartment but before I left an apartment employee had his underwear in a twist. he claimed I almost hit his car when deciding to turn right instead of left at a crowded stop sign. Everyone makes mistakes, and I don't think he should have gotten so upset. we didn't...

    Prayer for my neighbor and I regarding car insurance

    Yeah, I'm making sure he understands all that. My property liability damage is supposed to cover me for damage to his car and my insurance should be able to reimburse

    Prayer for my neighbor and I regarding car insurance

    I had a fender bender with a Persian neighbor who doesn't speak English very well. I accidentally backed into his car when in a hurry to get to work. Because of the minor language barrier it was very rough to get the information we need from each other to make claims on our insurances and file...

    Can you be forgiven for "eating to your harm"?

    Hey guys. I'm getting an official membership at my Lutheran church so I can take communion. but a few weeks ago I was too excited so I took communion prematurely without permission to. they have closed communion so no one eats to their harm. so did I eat to my harm? If so, is it a forgivable...

    Is Jesus a teacher or a Savior?

    This is not a question of "or". Jesus is our rabbi AND savior. There is proof that he is both!

    Fear of Hell and Faith

    I have always thought that fear of hell is a motivating factor for faith. If you fear hell, then that draws you to the way to escape from hell, which is the cross of Christ. But a genuine faith also requires repentance and wanting to serve and obey Him.

    Need help debating a KJV only person

    I have been dealing with a KJV only person for a long time. He uses Acts 18:24-26 to try to attack the Alexandrian manuscripts and claim that Alexandria is the center of perverstion of manuscripts. and has also claimed that the early church wrote against Alexandrians. I feel like he is taking...

    Not getting along well with someone

    I have been at my wit's end with somebody. He is a Christian but I find him judgmental and radical. Today when I mentioned Harvest Crusade and Greg Laurie, he went on and on about how he was antagonized by Calvary chapel pastors. But I think that is judging an entire denomination based on the...

    Does John 17:15 Destroy Pretribulation Rapture?

    I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. -John 17:15 I'm a pre trib believer, but I can't help but be bothered by this verse. does this prove posttribulation, or is there a way around this? I'd like some answers

    Codependency Dilemma

    He makes my life miserable by texting me a lot and getting angry when I'm not texting him and when he doesn't get his way. The generosity I'm doling out is giving up my spare time just to please him. He takes advantage of me by trying to make me feel guilty and I am such a people pleaser. and he...
