  • 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

    OCD Blog

    Not a bad way to look at it. My OCD always gets in doubts about God's existence, Jesus being Messiah, etc. The way you've described not resisting the thoughts and that they really don't matter is quite helpful

    Ocd wants me to doubt the Bible

    Oh yes, OCD does this to me all the time.

    This is driving me insane

    So OCD has gone back to doubting God's existence. However even when I do look up arguments for God's existence my brain will keep going to "this is just made up", "God's made up" or "its fantasy". Another is that "the universe will end in a death, why would God do that?" I don't agree with them...

    Intrusive Thoughts Questioning Jesus

    Well don't ignore them, as that's just as bad as arguing with them. What I've been taught is that you should acknowledge the thought and move on. Something like "Oh there's that thought again" and then (try to, at least) move on from it.

    Bad thoughts, Christian help needed!

    Yea a little bit. I've always thought OCD came from the devil.

    Bad thoughts, Christian help needed!

    This sounded a lot like mine a few times. Although now, it's switched back to doubting God's existence.

    Isaiah 53

    I've heard from Jews and Atheists that Christians just "shoehorned" in Isaiah 53 to make the messiah a "suffering servant" and thus "prevent" Jesus from failing, and that there was no Jewish tradition of a suffering and dying messiah. What do you think of this? (Now of course I don't believe we...

    Obsessions over God's existence

    My OCD has really been acting up for a couple days. It keeps putting thoughts like "God doesn't exist", "you're delusional", "you're just pretending", "this world is all there is", "it's a lie". I know it's not true, but I can't seem to believe in God now. Idk.

    Doubting if Jesus is the Messiah

    Jews will always tell me Isaiah 53 is about Israel.

    Doubting if Jesus is the Messiah

    Now I haven't lost faith that Jesus is the messiah. My brain just keeps putting thoughts like "what if you were deceived?", or "Is the NT really from God?", "Is Jesus really the Son of God?" or "what if Jesus is a false messiah?" I think this started from many interactions I've had on here from...

    MJ Only Found this on a subreddit I frequent on

    I'm not a Messianic Jew myself, but I see this argument all the time from either Jews or non-Christians, so how would you respond to this? This one was on the apostles:

    Terrible ruminating doubts

    I feel ya. I'm doubting hard as well since I was viewing a discussion with Jews.

    Was reading a wikipedia article on Second temple Judaism, when I saw this...

    This section btw is called "emergence of Christianity" What this article is saying is that Christians just made Jesus God when the restoration of the Kingdom didn't occur immediately, which I think is kind of ridiculous. Yes we view him as God himself, but that we just decided to do it all of...
