  • 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.

    Does God heal sinners?

    I am very needy at this point in my life. My physical and mental health is awful. Everyday I quietly go through a lot of suffering that sometimes gets to the point that I want to commit suicide. The only thing that keeps me from doing that is my faith. I pray very often asking for God to heal...

    Does God love me?

    I have an issue with feeling loved, which is hard for me to come out and say. And aside from that I often question what God wants for me. Does he really want me to have a great life? Or am I being self-centered and is the life meant to be lonely and tormenting like it has been thus far (I suffer...

    Near death experiences?

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put this. Anyway, what do you all make of the near death experience phenomenon? There are many books on it and whole communities of people who have experienced it. Do you think they're legit experiences with the afterlife or a final light...

    How important is it to be a creationist?

    It's not that I believe it was all a big accident...I just have trouble believing it all went down literally as the Bible said. I just feel for whatever reason, God decided to translate what happened this way. Maybe because we, as humans, wouldn't be able to grasp the complexity at the time? I...

    How important is it to be a creationist?

    Thats a good point. I agree with everything in the new testament. I just get hung up on a lot of stuff in the old testament that just doesn't match up. One reason that I'm caught up on it is because didn't Jesus come to save us from sin, hence Adam and Eve? What if Adam and Eve never existed...

    How important is it to be a creationist?

    Is it okay to believe in evolution and the big bang as a Christian? Is that sinful and contradictory? I'm new to Christianity so I'm still learning the ropes.

    Spreading the good news?

    I know a number of atheists, including family members. They're very stubborn about their views and trying to verbally spread the word of God to them would do nothing but anger or humor them. Is it wrong that I don't have the desire to verbally assist those who don't seek the good news? I just...

    My mental health is MUCH better

    I was at rock bottom and battling over six mental illnesses when I converted to Christianity. From there I have been doing nothing but getting better. Not only do I thank God for all he has done for me, but I thank you guys too. The Christian community is amazing and I thank you all for being my...

    Finding the right dog breed for me

    I don't know if Huskies can be trained out of what they were bred to do though. My biggest fear is that the dog will slip out the door and there's no way I'll be able to get it back. Cats are wandering all over the place out there and it's so wide opened. When my pug gets out she chases stuff...

    Finding the right dog breed for me

    Hey guys, I have been looking to get another dog. My problem is that I absolutely love the appearance of Siberian Huskies, but from what I hear they are extremely energetic and stubborn. I would be afraid that the dog would slip out the door and either run away (after all, that's what they're...
