    Home-sick and hating it...

    Jesusfreak, welcome to CF and I am sorry to hear about your circumstances. If you were to move back would you be able to continue your schooling in that area or get a job? If so, you may not have your mom and brothers there, but you would still have your church family, friends, and a familiar...

    Concerned about Benny Hinn

    Garnet, I certainly understand your concern, and I think by sending links you have done the right thing. However, I can also understand your sister's apprehension about your advise considering you are an atheist. She probably feels you just don't understand or have your mind set against...

    2nd cousins or cousins once removed?

    I learned something new too!!! I have been calling my 1st cousins' children my second cousins but in fact they are my 1st cousins once removed and second cousins to my children not 3rd. Now, if only I can remember this!

    Home Church

    I don't, but I would love to have one not because I am uncomfortable with organized churches. I am actually very comfortable in any setting where I can worship with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, but I would like to start one because there are so many foreigners who have no place to...

    A few things that hold me back from being christian

    I am going to try to answer rapidly since my time is limited so I just want to get to the point to answer your questions. Thus, my answers will not have all the nice touches to a gentle answer. Please don't interpret my answers as curt rather than I am just trying to get to the point. 1...

    What is the most powerful tool available to man?

    I like Anduron's answer "love", but that just points back to God for Christians because we believe "God is love". However, if you are looking for a tangible answer, I would say the Bible because it is a manuel for life and can show us how to escape many of life's problems, how to have a good...

    Religion and children

    Religion can be trouble but a sincere, loving relationship with God is never trouble because God is supreme not some religious institution.

    Religion and children

    I would like to address the issue of baptism of children. I will never tell my children to be baptized because this is between them and God only. I can not make my children Christians and baptism alone will not make them a Christian either. My 5 year old has already told me he wants to be...

    You know what bothers me about Christians??

    Legomaster, I agree with you that there is a lot of encouragement in Job and as one Christian to another I understand what you are saying how the story of Job offers hope. However, when Job was going through all that suffering do you think telling him "you are going through this suffering so...

    You know what bothers me about Christians??

    I would like to better answer the question as to "why" these comments are said. Actually from a Christian perspective, Christians can gain strength and hope from these types of comments. We take great comfort in knowing our loved ones are in a place where there is no more pain and suffering and...

    You know what bothers me about Christians??

    I feel very deeply for you and your daughter because I have also lost a baby and the pain is terrible, but I must say it is not just Christians that can be insensitive at such times. Yes, I had insensitive responses from Christians too, but I also had some not only insensitive but down right...

    Muslims take blame for 9/11

    I once read the testimony of a very high ranking KKK member who later became a Christian, and while he was a KKK member, he had no association with any church. He was basically an atheist who poured himself into this hate group. So as a Christian I feel no responsibility for what the KKK does...

    Weird News again, Dad Says School Duct-Taped Son's Pants.

    I wonder if the students had been informed before not to wear "sagging" clothes? If they had not been informed, then the father has a reason to be upset because it is wrong to just make up rules as one goes along and then suddenly make one up and single out a kid, but my guess is that is not...
