  • 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

    "No. No, no, no, no. No!"

    Has your husband ever been tested for Asperger's syndrome? I've dealt with it my entire life. If you're not familiar with it, it basically makes it extremely hard to empathize with the emotions and thought patterns of others that differ from your own. Someone with that syndrome functions...

    Let your yes be yes, and your no be no?

    Sure, if you take those verses completely out of context. It's simply saying not to swear oaths. Historically, they couldn't count on being able to fulfill the promises they made since any one of them could have been killed at any moment. Persecution and all that. That's all these verses are about.

    Betrayed by private psychiatrist at public hearing, what is the proper revenge?

    You want God to smite...your psychiatrist. Uh-huh. Well, I'm no psychiatrist myself, but I've studied under a few as a social worker, and I'll tell you right now, the latter half of your post absolutely screams sociopath, and I think that whatever the guy's been trying to do to help you is...

    Advice about discerning who the true and false prophets are

    All modern prophets are false. In our age, anyone who claims to speak for God about a future event, is a liar.

    Confused

    That is my new favorite quote. Ever. Of all time. I've been trained in Southern Shaolin for about eight years now, which is enough time to learn the martial applications of Qigong as well as the healing aspects. Knowing the benefits it gives, it hurts to see paranoia around what is often...

    Should I just have sex with my boyfriend?

    Nice. I pose an alternative view, no less legitimate than yours, and you attack me. It's not clear. Mistranslation is a very real thing. Like I said, debate isn't allowed. Do the research yourself, before you condemn a brother in Christ.

    Should I just have sex with my boyfriend?

    EXACTLY. There are circumstances in life that prevent marriage, as has been shown repeatedly by posters in this thread. God looks at the heart and the behaviors, not a piece of paper handed out by the government. Now, just by saying that I run the risk of this post getting reported (it's...

    Should I just have sex with my boyfriend?

    Porneia - from Koine Greek, meaning "sexual immorality." "Fornication" as the English translation of this word came about later, and brought about entirely different connotations. "Sexual immorality," from the NT's authors' perspectives, meant pagan ritual prostitution. When Paul said to abstain...

    Should I just have sex with my boyfriend?

    THIS. SO much this. Mistranslation is such a glaring issue in the Abrahamic faiths. It causes our focus to be misplaced from doing good works onto things we imagine are forbidden to us, but which really aren't.

    Confused

    ForumGuy: In some extremely literal Biblical interpretations, people wonder if Christ perhaps used Qigong as the modality of His healings. Specifically, in Mark 5:30, it is said, 'Jesus felt energy leave His body, and He turned to the crowd and said, "Who touched my robes?"' That "energy," in...

    Confused

    I owe my health to Qigong. I have an autoimmune condition. The medicine for said condition is WAY out of my price range. I can keep the condition under control with Qigong. There's nothing demonic about it at all. It's just a science that hasn't been adequately explored in the West. The heat's...

    Music or my job?

    Parsley: You're so incredibly right about the successful ones being those who can treat their passion like a business. With Youtube, it depends on how you approach it. I'm still not making enough money with the Adsense revenue yet, but I've only been at it for...about eight months now, I think...

    Music or my job?

    Actually, I was. I was raised into music, and have several professionals in my family. I've known this was something I wanted to do since I was eight. Thirteen was just the age when I actually started studying the business of it. Thanks for assuming I don't know what I'm talking about...
