  • 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

    Do Wives Always Have to Say Yes to Sex?

    What is the population? What is the source this website gets its statistics from? 41% includes emotional infidelity. So that counts having feelings.

    Is it bad for a child to believe in Santa Claus?

    When I was a kid it took the kids until they got to a certain age to figure out their parents had been lying to them, too.

    Is it bad for a child to believe in Santa Claus?

    I think we have people defining terms differently, creating confusion. Some people use 'Santa Claus' to refer to St. Nicholas. Others see Santa Claus as a purely mythical figure, different from St. Nicholas. Is anyone opposed to teaching church history to children?

    True Love Waits. Maybe.

    I waited until marriage. What motivated me? I had my own convictions on it. Where did they come from? - My parents taught me not to have sex before marriage. - When I was about 12, the youth pastor went through a long and uncomfortable searies talking about the dangers of fornication...

    True Love Waits. Maybe.

    One of the reasons that young people have sex before marriage is because they believe they can still find a good marriage partner after they do it. They may not think that, but they aren't thinking, "If I have sex, a man/woman I want to marry won't want to be with me." I spent many years in...

    True Love Waits. Maybe.

    That is an issue. Hopefully, they closer they get to adulthood, the less likely they are to be manipulated, but teenagers are still impressionable. Where I live, 17-year-olds do not usually drive. That may be the minimum age. I'm not sure. It's not normal to see someone that young drive a...

    Is it bad for a child to believe in Santa Claus?

    There was a little girl whose parents, who were Christians, told her about Santa Claus giving all the children in the world presents. They also told her about Jesus. One day, they told her that Santa was just make-believe. Tearfully, she asked, "Is Jesus real?" My sister took the Santa thing...

    what is happening to this forum as well as to CF in general?

    I don't participate as much because I have other things going on, mainly. But I find the forum restrictive anyway. There is a rule against using 'the s word', pointing out what three passages of scripture advise for wives. I think we can quote the verses on that topic, and that's about it...

    eZoolander, Not everyone needs to be a marriage counselor either.

    My husband says everything will be fine if I just...

    I haven't been on the forum much recently, so I apologize if you have shared more backstory and i do not know about it. What are you expecting for feelings? If you had butterflies in your stomach so intensely that you couldn't eat or sleep, and you felt wonderful like some kind of drug high...

    My husband says everything will be fine if I just...

    Kirk Cameron has said something like, "I'm no expert on marriage. I've only been married once." I wouldn't want to go to a marriage counselor who had a bad marriage or one who'd had failed marriages or even one failed marriage-- definitely not if the counselor had just decided to call it quits...

    The second reformation.

    There is a Biblical role of pastor that we should not try to protest. But there are also many ideas associated with the word 'pastor' that are not particularly Biblical. For example, the apostles appointed elders, more than one of them, appointed from within the church in Acts 14 and Titus 1...

    Men that are the housemakers?

    I'd rather live in a society where the government is not that intrusive into everyone's personal decisions, but it would be better if women opted out. A few years ago, I read that privates were being ordered to wear women's high-healed as part of some kind of campaign, probably he-for-she...

    Men that are the housemakers?

    The Bible doesn't say a man is to 'die unto himself' for his wife. It says that a man is to follow the example of Christ, who gave His life for the church. The agenda of Christ laying down His life for the church was set by God. The church didn't say, "Would you die for me by wearing my pink...

    Men that are the housemakers?

    My wife has gone through times when she could be rather disrespectful to me, the past. Sometimes, this coincided with pregnancy, post-partum blues, etc. I realize hormones can have an effect on some women's moods, but it seems to amplify some issues that can seem minor at other times that are...
