  • 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

    Just get rejected from a church service

    I wanted to visit churches for a while and found one that was close to me and have a community I am familiar with. I was stopped by one of the local staff and ID-ed me, saying Muslims are not allowed due to security policies and that it's a muslim country and they will face a problem if people...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    Ever since I was in school, I had christian friends all over, in a majority Muslim country. I always visited them at their homes and their display of Cross and Jesus, always drew me in. I would walk with them to the church (never entered cause Muslim neighbors who knew me wouldn't let me enter)...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    God bless you for this post. I realized two things as I read your answer, One is that, yes, I learned that Moses was the mediator to his people and - I am referencing Quran here- they often always asked him to speak to his God to do this and that and to pray for them. The other point is about...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    Hi Thank you so much for the thorough explanation. First, I wanna apologize for taking that long to reply. Secondly, Yes, I have watched the first attached video about the incarnation but I did not understand it. Against, I have listened to it with filtered glasses, and that made me realize that...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    I have read in Quran that the holy trinity is false. I am not making an argument but I wanna know why is it revealed in the Quran that this is false. in manyy verses, God says that Jesus was created the way Adam was created but we never considered Adam to be the son of God. At the same time what...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    Point on! The confusion I have is the because of the background I was in and the culture and everything I am reading now.

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    Thank you for your output. Can I ask if this was the case, how did generations before Christ came and died for us, live, connected with God? I mean, why didn't God reveal himself as early as Humans committed sins (fall of Adam, Able and Cain) and so on? I might be ignorant but the more I read...

    I hope this is the start of something Beautiful

    I pray with my heart but sometimes it feels like only wishing or pleading. I can't go to a church because Christian communities are small and known, if I went, I will be shunned or worse, killed. (In Islam, if you leave the religion, your community kills you) I dont have a physical copy of...

    A question about communication with God from a former Muslim

    First of all, I am glad to be here and learn more from you all. I want to just make something clear before I ask the question, so you understand my point. For the past 27 years, I was fed by my family and community how there is No God but One, that God has no sons, that God has no mediators...

    I hope this is the start of something Beautiful

    Hello and thank you. I can't say much about it yet cause I feel I am not qualified to answer such a question but I wanna say that from my understanding is that God loves us and He wants us to experience that love. He wants us to love Him back. He wants us to know that He is always close by...

    How do I rid my heart of remaining bitter roots?

    You need to understand one thing only : Forgiveness is not about them. it's about you. When you hang on something or feel bitter about a person, it affects only You. it upsets only You. it destroys only You. So when you forgive someone, whoever that is, you are not doing it for them. I like to...
