  • 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

    Is putting your baby up for adoption a sin, or at least against what God would want?

    I'm not sure that humans aren't capable of achieving unconditional love. From what I have heard and been taught, growing very close to and nurturing your relationship with God can lead you to reflect his love, even if it is extremely challenging. You think this may not be the case? It's an...

    Is putting your baby up for adoption a sin, or at least against what God would want?

    Is putting your baby up for adoption a sin, or at least against what God would want?

    I think you may be misunderstanding what I'm asking. Of course, adopting a child is a noble thing to do, but I'm asking whether putting a child up for adoption is wrong or not. I suppose, using your example that God adopts us, would he ever put one of his children up for adoption? Would he ever...

    Is putting your baby up for adoption a sin, or at least against what God would want?

    I understand that the trauma sustained by the mother would be immense and certainly unimaginable to me. But please note the verse I mentioned: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. It says "love suffers long", "love bears all things" and "endures all things". The question I'm asking is whether giving up a baby...

    Is putting your baby up for adoption a sin, or at least against what God would want?

    I was speaking with some fellow Christians on the matter of abortion and whether it is still a sin if the woman has been raped. We concluded that it is still a sin, but disagreed on what should then be done with the baby. They all said that ideally, the baby should be put up for adoption because...

    Is self-defense a sin?

    I was discussing the morality of self-defense with another Christian. They believed that violence of any kind, even self defense, is a sin. They used the teachings of Jesus to support their claims. Indeed, Jesus taught us to be non-violent and to turn the other cheek, he never once mentioned...
