  • 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.

    Why Aren't All Christians Pro-Choice?

    I don't believe in abortion for birth control purposes (about 99% of abortions are done for birth control currently in America). But if the pregnancy resulted from rape, incest or the mother will die if she doesn't have an abortion I am not against having an abortion.

    I just about cried when I saw this

    It is so sad how so many in America have turned to plastic surgery. What celebrity is there who doesn't have breast implants? I know a woman who who complains her breasts are too large. She says they hurt her back and wants breast reduction surgery. There are valid reasons to cosmetic...

    Is Nudity Okay?

    Take it to God in prayer. I will offer a prayer for you as well. I am also a man and sometimes struggle with lust. I try to pray daily for deliverance from temptation. Remember this, "And [Elisha] answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." I Kings 6:16

    "Study your scriptures!"

    I look at the word of God as a priviledge to study. What a great blessing! God has given us His words written by the prophets to benefit us in these days where men walk in their own way and after the images of different gods. I value the words of God more than fine gold. How to study it...

    Is Nudity Okay?

    Maybe one of the reasons you struggle so much with it is you fight it. If you see a beautiful woman, acknowledge she is beautiful and move your thoughts somewhere else. I believe it has to do with having your mind constantly engaged in good (it is definately not easy to do, but it is the best...

    Is Nudity Okay?

    The reason God gave Adam and Eve clothes is He wanted them to clothe themselves. A woman is far more beautiful in my eyes who is modestly dressed than one who without clothing. When one looks up the word modest, one of its definitions means: neither bold nor self-assertive; tending toward...

    If God loves us why is there a Hell? and What is Hell?

    I hope no one believes that the grace of Christ gives you a license to do whatever you want. The grace of Christ helps us in our walk with God. We cannot continue living a willful rebellious life giving no regard to God's commandments whatsoever and expect the grace of Christ to cover us...

    If God loves us why is there a Hell? and What is Hell?

    Aren't you glad we have a perfect Judge who perfectly judge us at the last day? I am so grateful that our all knowing God is in control of the whole plan He made for us.

    If God loves us why is there a Hell? and What is Hell?

    I love the below parable. It helps me to understand that I must live as a debtor to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It is a story told by Boyd Packer. There once was a man who wanted something very much. It seemed more important than anything else in his life. In order for him to have...

    If God loves us why is there a Hell? and What is Hell?

    This is why I put number one and two as number one and two. 1) We must have faith in Jesus Christ and ask God to forgive us of our sins and 2) Turn from our sins and live a godly life As the Apostle Paul wrote: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God...

    If God loves us why is there a Hell? and What is Hell?

    I will explain what Latter-Day Saints believe concerning hell. In the words of the prophet Alma: ". . . Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or...
