  • 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

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Just to say thankyou to anyone who prayed for my situation. My girlfriend recently became a Christian :) Thankyou again!

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Last night we talked for about 2 hours on Christianity. Any questions or doubts she had , she asked me, and through God I believe I was able to give her good answers. I'm far from being a Christian who has a very good knowledge of the Bible,(it pains me that I am not the perfect Christian...

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Yeah, I know. However what church we would bring our children up in is a matter we haven't talked about. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable bringing them up the same way my girlfriend was. Since I started this thread it's thrown up a lot of stuff like that, which I hadn't thought about...

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Maybe I was being unclear. She believes in God and Jesus, and she was brought up by her family in a Christian way- sunday school, confirmation and all that stuff. She still would regularly go to church. It's just that their particular denomination (Church of ireland) doesn't really place enough...

    The truth hurts like hell. Thanks for all your advive guys. I'm probably gonna make the wrong decision anyway, but that's just the weak person that I am.

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Yes the salvation of others is dependent upon the Christian community. It is our duty as Christians to spread the word of God to those who do not believe in it. If someone has never even heard of the Holy Spirit how can they feel it's drawing?

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    I've been thinking really hard about it the last few days and it really hit me this afternoon. I'm in it because I love her with all my heart. If I can be a witness to her then that would be amazing, but if not then it won't change how much I love her

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Thanks Lynn, you make a lot of sense. I firmly believe in my heart that God has given me this amazing opportunity to be a witness to someone I am extremely close to, and I am going to try and grasp it fully! Perhaps its true that I am living on the assumption that she will one day become a...

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Can I just say that I think you are WAY out of line here. I'm almost taking it as a personal insult. You don't know the girl in question. She is infact the most faithful, loving partner I could ever have imagined and would never ever cheat on me.

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    All I can say to those of you who say "break it off now" is that I'm very disappointed. I love and deeply care for this person. If I broke it off with her, she might never get the chance to become a Christian. If she sees the Lord's goodness shining through me then perhaps one day she will...

    In a serious relationship with a non-Christian

    Hi... Basically I've been going out with a girl who isn't a Christian for about 7 months now. We're totally in love with each other and have even talked about staying together forever. (Sounds kinda scary saying we're both only 19 ). It's not that she's a total unbeliever.. she beleives in...

    What will it take....

    As much as I detest war, you have to always remember that they will never be stopped. Does the Bible not say ".. there will be wars and rumours of wars" It's prophesised in the Bible, so it's gonna go on I'm afraid!

    What will it take....

    There could never be a coup/ revolution in a developed democracy like Britain. Whilst I'm totally against the War in Iraq, Tony Blair had to do something. To stand back would have risked losing America as an ally. If then we were to get attacked, surely you would want the worlds only superpower...

    Pray for Richard Hammond

    Prayed for him as soon as I heard. Immensely likeable guy and an absolute star.

    Can you be a Christian without going to Church?

    Personally, I don't think it is all that important. For me, Christianity is all about a personal relationship with God! I do attend Scripture Union in school every week, and absolutely love it. However I don't regularly attend my local church, as I don't agree with a lot that goes on in it...
