  • 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

    What's on your mind? (56)

    Just saw Miley Cyrus her MTV VMA performance. Utterly utterly disgusting and satanic. You know, Billy Graham was right, if God doesn't judge America, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. Disgusting.

    Saving the world

    Hopefully you aren't saying we actually do the saving? Because my friend, we don't do squat. We might tell people about the gospel, but that's it. Persuading them is upto the Spirit, once they accept it as truth, it's God who saves, through the blood of Christ. As a former Atheist, I don't...

    New to youth leadership

    I have to agree with Joshua saying, that logo looks kind of scary. Remember, and this is important for anyone working in a church environment. There will be many people that are emotionally invested in it, and will have an opinion. You don't need to go bland, but personal opinion, I think people...

    Waited so long, now I'm so scared!

    I think it's pretty normal that you're scared. Remember, we're in struggle that's bigger than us. We're in a spiritual war, and I dare say this, if you were not nervous the first time you were doing this, my sis, you would be in the wrong place. Clearly you and your boyfriend have something to...

    Mein Kampf and the Quran

    I see a lot of things being said on both sides. But here's the simple fact. You can say someone is christian, but we are told by scripture to test the person, and hold them up to scripture. If someone is unscriptural in his/her actions, he/she is not christian. You can't find in scripture a...

    Are non-Christians incapable of love?

    Yes they are. Here's the deal, all men were created equally before God, in the image of God. God is capable of love, so all men, without fail, were created with some capacity to love. Now the great divider is here. Sin has broken us to such an extent, that we are no longer complete and...

    23 year old virgin and ashamed

    Doesn't matter if it's important for him, it only matters if it's important to God. Take some advice from a brother that has the past that most people here would be ashamed of. Don't do it. One day, you're going to put your focus back on God, and then what? Do you really think you can...

    Italian Press Agency Reports Pope Resigns

    1295, Celestine V, at least that was reported by Dutch media.

    Would you kill someone if God told you to?

    That's actually a pretty poor example. David didn't kill Saul because he was an annointed king. Thus appointed by God. About God not killing anyone. Look at Sodom and Gommorah. Remember God from the OT, is the same as the God of the NT. We might not like that He is just, righteous and He is The...

    Saving the first kiss til marriage

    I do agree with this. It's a matter of finding a balance. How far can you go not to sin, not to be really tempted, and still go far enough to treat your relationship the way you should. I think that's why this is a personal conviction. It's not a matter of you can go this far and then it's a...

    Saving the first kiss til marriage

    My fiance and I haven't waited with kissing. We cuddle sometimes as well. That's about as far as we go. She has been the first and only girl I've ever kissed, held hands with and cuddled. We have our boundaries, we know not to push too far passed them.

    Separate accounts - when marriage comes?

    Thanks Ethie, I'm really excited. Circumstances dictate we have to wait till next year to get married, but if it were op to us, we'd get married right now. So ready for this next step with her. Thanks newday. I really think it's a shame so many people are about me now a days, even when the...

    Separate accounts - when marriage comes?

    Well, my fiance and I are going for a shared account. Sorry but if you don't even trust each other with the money you both earn, than how can you trust someone with the things that actually do matter? Personally I see the whole releasing your money and seeing it as the others money aswell part...

    French Christians, Muslims, Jews rally against gay marriage

    Actually I think the whole same right thing for homosexuals is rubbish. They have the same rights, they can marry someone from the opposite sex, just like the next person. They simply choose not to, that is their own responsibility. Don't like my society to go down the path of ungodlyness, even...

    Why did God afflict Job?

    Purely theologically speaking. The purpose of the book of Job is simple, not all the suffering in the world can be explained. Look at Job's wife, and at his so called friends. His friends are the kind of people that try to persuade him something was wrong with him, cause well, God wouldn't take...
