  • 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

    God is in Control and Man has free will?

    I'm new to faith, and my mind is very scientific, so I always ask the question "how". In this case, what do you mean by His guidance? Is he guiding us with his Spirit, through our emotions? Or is it through our experiences? If I apply for a job, and pray for it, and I get the job, was that God's...

    The ability to decide upon something without ANY interference from outside forces, I suppose.

    God is in Control and Man has free will?

    I don't understand, does obeying God mean obeying the instruction of the Bible, or am I supposed to hear from God and do what that voice tells me? The latter is kinda psychotic... I don't think anyone can really know how God speaks to them, unless they're a prophet perhaps, but I will assume you...

    God is in Control and Man has free will?

    Hello guys, For a long time I've been trying to reconcile these two truths in my mind: God is in control and man has free will. I've read articles stating that our finite minds cannot understand how this is possible, yet we must accept them as twin truths. This doesn't make any sense in my...

    God's guidance and free will?

    For some reason, after thinking about something or feeling a certain way, I sometimes think to myself "Was that God who gave me those thoughts/feelings?" I get terrified when I ask myself this question. Even if I know He is good, I feel controlled, or scared that if I misinterpret and believe...

    God's guidance and free will?

    Hi guys, I've read some passages from scripture and I feel very confused. "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." -Psalm 32:8 "The heart of...

    Anxiety stemming from "delusional" thinking

    Hello all, I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I've suffered from anxiety for 2 years, but since a year ago I've been exploring religion, most notably Christianity as a way to cope. The bad news is that it actually makes me much more anxious and stressed, and nowadays all my anxiety...

    The Holy Spririt as Guide and Teacher

    I'm very confused about the teachings of the Holy Spirit as our guide and teacher. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit can directly reveal to us the knowledge of God, but my question is how do you discern between what the Holy Spirit reveals to you and a product of our mind? For example if I...

    Help me with my fears

    Hello christian community, I am experiencing a lot of anxiety when I think about topics of divine guidance, and other things. For me it feels comforting to ask for guidance in life because of my anxiety issues, but it just creates more anxiety. People have told me that God guides us through the...

    Angry

    Please seek help. Something is not right and is troubling you. Seek a counsellor who can deal with depression, because I think a lot of what you're going through could be depression. Write down what angers you so much, and if you feel like it, scream in a pillow, or punch a pillow, but basically...

    How does God guide us?

    Thanks so much. Now I'm beginning to understand better how God guides me. I was beginning to think that this anxiety and worries were lead by my incorrect knowledge of God, which is true. It makes a lot of sense now.

    How does God guide us?

    Hello, For some time now I've been unable to understand how exactly God guides us through life. In my prayers I always ask for guidance so I could achieve health and happiness, but I have a problem with the "way" God is supposed to guide me. I know that in order to be healthy and happy I need...

    Wrestling with Religion

    Hello, My battles with OCD and anxiety has been going on for a year about now, and I'm really losing my patience. I really appreciate any encouragement and help, and I desperately need it.

    Doubting Religion & God

    You're right. I'm not really Christian, but more like someone who believes in God and is just 'peeking' at Christianity. I'm like a mix between agnostic and Christian at this point. I read something that someone else posted, but it brang upon me a realization. "The spiritual journey is just...
