  • 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

    Christians, think for yourself?

    Maybe she didn't consider herself to saved, and her knowing God in a different way is way of saying that she has truly accepted God's salvation. I would not call that a bad reason even though I get what you are saying.

    Masturbation & the Married Man

    I agree sex is important in a relationship, but so is communication, trust, and respect for eachother. There are probably many couples even just on this board that maybe can't have sex because of physical problems, to say they shouldn't be married isn't considerate or right.

    Masturbation & the Married Man

    If that were true the divorce rate would be even higher. Many people get married and have a great sex life, and then things happen, sicknesses, depression, among many other things, and its just not that easy to always be in the mood.

    That's not necessarily true. Woman have low sex drives for many many reason, and a lot of them don't have anything to do with their mate.

    Masturbation & the Married Man

    I think you could be right. I definately think its the fantasies that one might have is what makes the act of masterbating a sin. Your question is a very good and honest one, but I'm not sure what the best answer is, but it can only help to pray about it.

    Angelina Jolie Atheist Heading to Hell?

    I don't judge whether someone is going to hell or not, but doing good things doesn't get you into heaven. None of us can be good enouph or do enouph good things to get ourselves into heaven.

    Carnal Christians vs. Spiritual Christians

    I've never heard that expression before. We all have things in us that others would or might call "carnal". Thankfully we can always ask God to help us not be so carnal.

    My Aunt an Soon to Be An Adulterer?

    I think you sound pretty young, and therefore the reason your Aunt got divorced may a little more complicated than she just didn't want to be married anymore. I think you need to love and pray for your Aunt that she will know what God's will is for her life. It is not my place to see whether...

    Can all members of a church be leaders?

    I don't know what scripture you are referring to, but having grown up in as a pastors child I know first hand that not everyone should be a leader. Many members have personal issues that makes it not appropriate for them to be leaders. They may be able to help with some things, but there...

    Is gambling a sin if you're good at it?

    I do believe gambling is a sin. Whether your good or not doesn't have anything to do with whether it is sinful or not.

    Interviewing for job at church, but they enforce a 10% tithe

    I agree with this, and I wish more people at our church paid their tithe. I understand being frustrated if the church is being reckless with their money but many churches need tithe just to keep the heat and lights going. Would you feel compelled to pay your tithe if you knew the pastor...

    Should A Christian Drink?

    I think its a very personal thing. The bible tells us that if one person thinks its wrong to do something and you don't you shouldn' t do it for their sake, I agree with that. I try not to drink mainly so I can be an example for others and for the sake of other christians who believe it is wrong.

    WHat does the bible say about having a vasectomy

    I don't believe it says anything about this. I believe that if you feel God is convicting you one way or another than it is a sin to not obey him, but I don't believe it is sinful in and of itself.

    Baptism: My ticket to heaven or not?

    I don't believe that baptism is a ticket into heaven, nor do I believe that if your not baptised that you will not get into heaven, I guess that means the same. I do think if for some reason you are resisting it that you might want to pray about it ask yourself why you don't want to. It is not...
