  • 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

    i am seeking help

    If there's anything I've ever heard about Christianity that makes sense to me, it's that it's about relationship with God, not a bunch of rules. It's like if you wanted to please your parents but you didn't spend any real quality time with them, you'd soon get burnt out and wasted trying to do...

    I just cannot reconcile this verse. Please offer Godly advice.

    I think this passage is a generalization about the blessings and responsibilities of salvation. We are to preach to every creature (if neccesary use words). Belief in Christ (and acceptance of what He has done) will save you. Believers can cast out bad spirits (epilepsy, or true demonic...

    China anyone?

    Well the idea is conceal identity best as is possible. I plan on working there, but I'd rather not discuss in what capacity or where online. I have some ideas, but I'm still not sure and plans can change very quick. Still any info about organizations (or people going is all appreciated). And...

    China anyone?

    Perhaps this a weird starter for a thread, but I have a friend with a calling to go to China. He was wondering if any people also had a real calling share the gospel (on whatever level possible) in a nation such as China. Please email only. Thanks.

    cowboy bebop anyone?

    BEBOP is okay. I mean it would be nice if they had anime with happy endings. Still, I feel like the writers try so much to make things similar to real life by showing that more often than not, things don't totally work out. I mean you have plot twists that have absolutely nothing to do with the...

    SUICIDE TENDENCIES WELCOME!!!!!

    Gotta tell ya, I know how you feel. The job market is sparse, and even having a job (if that's what you'd call it) is just hard. I moved away from my comfort zone because I was unemployed for about 4 months and finally got an offer. It had only lasted for 6 months and then I got laid off...

    Re-categorized: Men's Corner & Women's Discussion now under Life Stages (NOTE: CO!)

    I was rather amused at this whole thing really. I mean if christianforum decided I was this worthless piece of pond scum, I think I would just set my eyes on better pastures. Not saying that's the way they feel about anybody.

    Animals are crazy!

    Well, you know. With ducks it's called coincidence. With humans we would have had the forensic experts tracing it to the mafia.

    Is it a sin to be on the Internet?

    If a tree falls on a mime using an internet connection, does anyone care?

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

    And it certainly doesn't fit the typical colorful metaphor either....

    Is astral projection moral? (from a christian perspective)

    It is hard to say whether something like this should be considered wrong for a Chrstian. The general rule of thumb is that a spiritualist or medium is not to be tolerated. Still, not totally knowing what it is really doing, it becomes harder to classify. I would say that if it is doind what...

    Is astral projection moral? (from a christian perspective)

    Well I don't think astral projection is something to be proven or disproven by the "come to my home town and show me what's going on" philosophy. Tis true however, if anything can prove astral project to real places on earth, it should be verifiable by independent sources. There is one...

    There is FUR EVERYWHERE!

    :D Sounds like your pets need some aftershave.

    Do you ever wish....

    I disagree. Sometimes the feelings are just there for you to learn to cope. Not every feeling that God has given you is something that is meant to be acted on and this can certainly be the case with feelings for marriage.
