  • 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.

    Make them your friend before you say anything

    I saw a newspaper article a few days ago that really had me angry! It seems someone from a gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender organization wrote to a columnist and basically threatened that if he spoke his views on gays and lesbians again, they would take action. All he said was that he...

    Cmon....confess!

    I was inspired by some of the 80s music threads to start this one. I know this will be difficult for many of you, and you may need prayer to get the courage to do it.....but let's all confess! Who had a mullet in the 80s?!?!?!?!? I did! P.S. If you still have a mullet, I am sure it will...

    Why do you believe God exists?

    I have several reasons. But like legenderyu2k, I would believe even if I had not personally experienced God. The best argument I ever heard on the existance of God was this, and it has always stuck in my head. It is simple yet profound: The probability of all of this (the universe, life, etc)...

    Pez

    You know, I don't collect, but my son had to do a report on Connecticut. He found out that PEZ is made in Connecticut. We ended up buying some to share w his class as part of his report. I am 34 and probably not had PEZ for 25 years! It brought back some memories! I loaded up a Sponge Bob...

    Witnessing to Grandparents

    If you want them to be Christians, leave the evolution/creation debate alone completely. Continue to just show them love and tell them about Jesus when they are open to it. Then the debate won't be necessary! It is an extremely difficult situation I am sure. But my guess is that your...

    What is love?

    And I am sorry as I know you did not aks for my opinion on your opinion as to what love means, but I did it out of love! Hope that makes sense!

    What is love?

    Be very careful about seeing love as a feeling! There are strong feelings associated with love, but love is not a feeling. I know what you are talking about, but please be careful about associating true love with the feeling of being in love. They are very different!

    Is Hypnosis wrong

    Thanks! I leaned that way and that is what i thought. I guess it was one of those lesser of two evils thing. I know God does not want me addicted to nicotine, or to be hypnotized, so would it be better to be hypnotized for a while or addicted for life??? But of course that is assuming the...

    Have you ever been disappointed with God?

    SO true. I don' t know if we ever understand God or ever get to a place where we can accept everything w out anger or confusion. This world is full of sin, hurt, confusion, evil, etc...I am 34, and I am sure if I live to be 100 I will still have the same why questions I have now.

    Have you ever been disappointed with God?

    There are two types of Christians when it comes to this topic. Those thas that have been disappointed with or angry with God, and those that lie! It is very common to feel anger, , frustration, doubt, etc when it comes to God. And you can even tell him that! Believe it or not, he can handle it...

    Is Hypnosis wrong

    I have struggled with this for a while. Is hypnosis wrong for Christians to participate in??? I have a non Christian friend who smoked 2-3 packs per day. He went through hypnosis and never touched a cigarette again. I have heard many success stories. My conflict is I am not sure I believe...

    Prosperity Ministries - Does G-d Really want this for us?

    Tithing has nothing to do with the prosperity teachings. There is no gaurantee of prosperity if you tithe. Only gaurantee that you will have what you need. You should tithe, unless you enjoy sitting in a cold and dark building! IF your church has proven they use finances in a godly manner...
