  • 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.

    I have decided to open up about this situation...Im reaching out for help

    Hi Living4Him09, Sounds like you've got a MAJOR control issue. You are focusing on what you can do to make yourself better. When you should really be surrendering it to God. He knows how and what to do to make you better. And what to do to make you into the person He has called you to be. I'm...

    I used to do the same thing actually!! When your stomach is so naughted up and eating food seems to be this duty that is too overwhelming. When you always feel too full. And drinking water is pretty much as far as you feel you can go. Ya, I've had it like that. Now it's the other extreme...

    Hi, It's good to hear that you're on here for God. We can't ever have a perfect bible, or interpretations of it because we can't ever have perfect people. But that's not the point. God is the point, and He'll reveal what He chooses, to who He chooses. A thought.... I think in the western...
