  • 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.

    Is this belief biblical?

    I definitely pray for my family, and sometimes for strangers I walk past in public, and there has never been a time where I prayed for selfish or worldly reasons.

    Is this belief biblical?

    I see. To be more clear on the topic. I feel like I'm not doing what's required of me as a believer. I pray, avoid sinning and I've read several pages of the Bible but I still feel empty and without direction. I'm just not sure what to do next, and when I tried googling some answers, the...

    Is this belief biblical?

    Thank you all for responding. Just to be clear, those bullet points were not said to me specifically. After reading several posts and watching some videos on youtube, I noticed that those beliefs of "wait for your blessing and God's response" seemed very common. Hence why I created this thread...

    How do I deal with lies/rumours spread about us?

    I will try my best to avoid confrontation and just address whatever is asked of me by others, but I will definitely set a limit and will act should he cross the line. I know we're supposed to stay quiet, but you can't stay passive forever whilst someone is out there slandering you and your...

    End Times/Great Tribulation Dreams

    Hey guys, I have come to notice that the frequency and reports of end times dreams have increased over the past few years. I've seen reports of people from all ages and backgrounds seeing the long anticipated return of Jesus Christ and the end of the world and this really fascinates me as it...

    Is it wrong to ask for a sign?

    Quick update on this thread. On the night I prayed for confirmation, I asked Jesus if I was doing what was necessary to follow him because I cared a lot about my walk with Christ. I asked Jesus to show me what needed addressing if I was doing something wrong, and although I was somewhat...
