  • 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

    I hate to bump such an old thread - but - I am still alive and still searching! Instead of post a whole new topic, I hope this works. Where has the time gone my friends? I hope everyone is well. Since my last post in 2019, I kind of fell off.... But I just bought my first bible which is an ESV...

    Thanks for your reply Hawkins. I thought I didn't have anyone in my life that was a Christian, however, just yesterday for no apparent reason it popped up in my head that I should re-connect with an old friend I hadn't seen since high school. I looked him up and added him on Facebook. He...

    Looking for God

    Paul1149, please let me start off by saying that the verse you put in at the end of your post genuinely brought tears to my eyes. It was so beautiful. It really spoke to me, it really gave me hope that I can find God, that I can accept Him into my heart sincerely! I have never seen that verse...

    Looking for God

    Study and Prayer will be the biggest things for me. The intellectual, and emotional side of trying to find God is what will drive me most. I am truly an emotional person. I am going to try and pray sincerely for guidance, I am going to set some time alone to do so at some point today. It's going...

    Looking for God

    I'm looking, searching for God. My life feels like something is missing, and out of nowhere I had this surge in my heart to start looking for God, but I'm having trouble finding Him. I know absolutely nothing about the bible. I feel lost when I read it. Is that where I start? Where do I...
