  • 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

    What Makes a Person a Mormon?

    QuoteJoseph Smith (the founder of the Mormons) taught that God the Father was once a man, who had a different God.That different God was once a man also, who also had a high God. Someone stated: "to say that this is what LDS teach is a lie. The only article of something like this is from a...

    What Makes a Person a Mormon?

    I think most investigators would run when they heard that men are "gods in embryo" (Gospel Principles), or that men may become Gods (The Teachings of the Presidents of the Church:John Taylor), or the counsel of the gods where Jesus and Lucifer were to come up with a plan, or that Lucifer is our...

    You have to admit that what the lds missionaries cover with investigators vastly differs with what one would hear at a stake conference.

    Any BSFers here? Bible Study Fellowship

    Just wondering if there are any other BSFers here. http://www.bsfinternational.org I was thinking it might be cool to briefly discuss the lesson each week. Of course, we're near the end and it won't start back until Sept.

    The one I can't afford--Logos. I don't use it because I don't have it. :- )

    Non-LDS Counselor in Provo, UT area. Any suggestions?

    Are any utahans here aware of any non-LDS mental health counselors/therapists in the Provo area? Maybe a psychologist rather than psychiatrist. I need a reference for an acquaintance. Thanks, Godisgood

    Exmo's

    Joseph Smith didn't pray for reconciliation to God or how to become reconciled to God, but asked which of the churches was correct.

    Exmo's

    Just remember when you find yourself beating yourself up because you cannot keep all the commandments, that Christ kept them for you. It is He and He alone who is righteous. Our self-righteousness misses the mark, but when Heavenly Father looks upon those who are "in Christ" He sees the...

    Exmo's

    Eldy, Please don't rush into things too hastily. The LDS church, if it is true, should withstand scrutiny. Please do careful research before making any decisions you may regret. The prayer Heavenly Father wants to hear is one of being sickend by our sin and a desire that He change us...

    Attending a Ward

    From my experience in visiting the local ward, you most likely be made to feel welcomed. A few hymns are sung, a person or couple will be assigned to give a talk on a particular subject, and I think some brief church business is mentioned. Someone mentioned earlier that you shouldn't attend a...

    Alone

    Hi Praisehim247, I'm adopted and found my biological parents. I'm so glad I did. I love them very much. I suggest praying for the various areas of life of your child you placed for adoption. Maybe one day that child will be curious, as I was, and search for you too. A few years ago this verse...

    Going to an LDS meeting

    Don't be surprised if someone is assigned to you to "friendship" you. Isn't that the term? Do they set a picture of the current or previous president of the church on the table in the priesthood meetings like they do in Relief Society?

    Need quick advice re: infant bapt. gift/attire

    Thanks. All the girls are wearing dresses except the college student who only brought pants home with her. I figured it would be much like the protestant church where we attend where you can wear pants or dresses. Just wanted to know about the dress vs. pants thing. It has been 21 years since...
