  • 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.

    Reproduction vs. adoption... Is reproduction Ethical?

    Just remember that we may not be the person that God wants to help people. It may be our job to raise 4 or 5 kids that will do better jobs than us. Remember when God told David that he wasn't going to build the temple? Some of us have different callings. David was God's man of war and...

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    FYI, we don't need to ask for forgiveness. He's already forgiven us (even mankind) for ALL sin. All we have to do is confess our sin. Naming our sin means that we acknowledge our wrong. Once we know what we've done wrong, we no longer have a wall between our fellowship and God (ie, we can...

    Conflicting Music Interests

    Listen to some Christian bands who have this style. Also, if you are feeling conflicted about this style of music, I would encourage you to check out the Christian Rock Apologetics. Just do a quick search on Google for it. These links all have youtube<dot>com/ in front of them Travail...

    have i done the unforgivable sin?

    There is a difference between you actually thinking and really "saying" a thought or if a thought was placed in your head. However, according to Corinthians, we can even take these thoughts captive. We'll be praying for you. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons...

    Should I be worried?

    Remember that even if you do sin (which we encourage you not to), you won't go to hell. Here's a passage that gives better advice than I could ever give. 2 Timothy 2:22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure...

    Vocal Issues

    I really like the idea of hiring a voice instructor to come in to do the job. As long as you tell the instructor what you have in mind beforehand,you could even have the instructor spend individual time with each member. It might cost more that way, but it might be worth it. Who knows... it...
