  • 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.

    Fear of Sin

    I've been struggling with a particular sin involving lust. Then I have this idea in my mind that if I commit that sin, then I'll lose my soul and be damned. I know it's a sin. But I can't trust myself to overcome it. I hate it, but I know eventually I'll fail. What should I do?

    Trapped and Scared

    Greetings, Today I had a bind. I had these "rules" that were on me forbidding me to buy a certain item and if I did then I'll lose my salvation. Well, after speaking to my therapist, I thought that the "rule" was over and I went to buy that item. But then I realized that I could have...

    Fear of Not Being Saved

    Greetings, I have this fear that I'm not saved to begin with. I believe that Jesus is God. I've accepted Him as Savior and accepted His sacrifice for my sins. I believe He rose again. But I still feel fear. Help!!!

    Will God Do This?

    Will God ever say to you that if you do this sin, then you're forbidden to do this activity that you like (like writing for instance and the activity isn't sinful either). If you do, then that means that you were never mine. Will God ever say this to you through your own thoughts/feelings?

    Between Sin and OCD

    Recently I've been somewhat successful against my struggle with pornography. One partial reason is because I had this OCD "rule" on me that if I see porn than I cannot write (besides forums and emails) or else that means that my salvation's non-existent. But unfortunately, as I was looking...

    Is this crazy?

    Skye, I wasn't sure if God said that in my mind or not.

    Is this crazy?

    I was doing my laundry tonight. I was getting change for a dollar when in my mind the thought came up that if I changed it and used it for my laundry, then that would prove that I wasn't saved. I then went to my car and gathered spare change to replace that dollar in change. And when I went...

    Struggle with Addiction and OCD

    Today, I fell into sin with pornography. I had this struggle ever since I was young. I've destroyed my porn collection again and again, only to rebuild it. Now that I'm a grown man, my struggle with it has improved, but I don't every victory. Like today I had a relapse. And that's when it...

    Heavenly Rewards

    I have this thought in my mind that if I use my debit card then I will lose heavenly rewards. I know that the doctrine of heavenly rewards is not a popular subject that all Christians know. But I was wondering if this could be real or not. I don't have a bad spending habit. Help!!!

    I messed up

    Essentially, because I stumbled into sin, that means I can't write anything other than forum or email stuff or else I'm doomed. Its part of my "condition".

    I messed up

    Crap I just wrote something non-forum/email related. Am I destined to hell?

    I messed up

    Greetings, I stumbled into sin and because of it, I'm now afraid to write things (besides this forum and email). I sinned in pornography. And while I was engaging, I'm afraid that I either gave away my salvation or I proved that I might not be saved to begin with, if I wrote anything. I...

    Things I didn't consider

    Last night, something along the lines of "I recant God/His salvation" came into my mind, while I was in bed. I kept repeating to myself the phrase "God ignores everything. He ignores everything" just to remind myself of what I prayed to God to ignore all these things that pop up into my head...
