  • 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.

    Hey all! I have an issue here...

    Yeah I would have to agree with Aino, If you don't enjoy singing then don't, perhaps just read the words to yourself in your head and take them in and enjoy listening to everyone else. I do sing (very) quietly because I think my voice is awful! But I love to join in, Unfortunately singing was...

    Hi all, I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I've been a Christian for about 5 months. I have a partner who used to be a Catholic but she hasn't been to church for about 5 years. We have a son and another on its way. For the last 5 months I have been going to a baptist church. My...

    Can christians drink alcohol?

    I'm pretty sure drinking is ok, after all on of the most well known verses in Jesus' ministry is "drink this (wine), it is my blood...." etc However I totally agree with suzybee - allowing it to control you I would imagine would certainly be frowned upon. I used to drink every week, and get...

    Please help ASAP

    Our faith isn't an easy path, but please remember that God is always pleased with those of us who are after his own heart. If you enthrone Jesus in your life and try your best to follow the law of love I believe that is half the battle!

    Please help ASAP

    I would take DaLeKos advice and stay away from these people, They are only trying to reassure themselves that their own choices are right. A lot of atheists will just refuse to hear the message on the basis there's not "sufficient proof" and unfortunantly for these people they will get all the...

    Need Help. Struggling with Hell

    I found with this issue I will do my best with my non-believing friends and family, without being too heavy on them so that I push them away. Note that when you tell your friends of your path with Jesus that is another knock on their door and again they will have a choice as to whether or not...

    I've lived a bad life

    SharonL and heron have put it so well! When you ask Jesus into your life, and put more and more trust into our fathers hands, you will know Jesus paid the price for yours and my sins. All that is left is for you to then let go of it and concentrate on keeping the law of love! Congratulations...

    My Tattoo

    I'm sure if there's anything to be forgiven for, the Lord will forgive it. If you ask. I also think it rather depends on what the tattoo is of and what it means to you. I know a few people with tattoos and have been thinking of getting one myself... Someone I know is covered in tattoos, and they...
