  • 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.

    Being married is so difficult.

    Thank you guys (& girls) for all of your responses. Hunting man- I think our situations are very similar. Thank you for all of the encouraging words. Autumn leaf- I am actually trying it the way the Bible says to. To live it out and respect him, instead of pound it into his head with my...

    Being married is so difficult.

    At least being married to HIM is difficult. Some days I feel so depressed it's unbearable. I have to intensely pray it away and have a serious worship session in my car on the way to work. We have only been married since May, but it's already crashing and burning (in my mind at least). I feel as...

    :wave:Do you think one of the two returns could be the rapture? Just curious about your stance on the subject.

    About Heaven...

    2 Corinthians 5:1 -- Now we know that if th earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. and that's all I really need to know to have confidence and peace in the fact that we will be with the Lord when we die (granted...

    Christianity a joke?

    I can't imagine being a true christian and believing I have a real relationship with God WITHOUT reading my bible. That just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like the life is being sucked right out of me if I skip a day of reading and fellowship with God. Maybe those ARE the kind of christians...

    Question about salvation

    I believe God is sovereign. He does not look at us as "good" or even "mostly good" people. We are not "all God's children" as some like to say. Our righteousness is like filthy rags to GOD. We don't deserve to be saved in the first place. Who am I to ask who will and won't be saved, and why...

    The loneliness of a Christian

    This is amazing. It all makes sense. Sometimes I fall into a depression (I know that is NOT of God, but the enemy trying to come against me) because I feel there is no one on this earth that I can relate to. Sometimes I feel so "weird" for wanting to be so submerged in him ALL THE TIME when no...

    Feeling Love For God

    Sometimes I feel all warm and fuzzy about God, and sometimes I feel like a child whose parent is disciplining them, but all in all I still love him (even though it may not always be that 'feel good' love) He is my heavenly father, my joy and my shelter from the storm.

    post-mortem punishment

    What about the story of Lazarus and the rich man? 19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and...
