  • 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

    Is this OCD?

    I understand you with the fealing of being an enmy to God. Its really scary when you start to believe he is rejecting you and then you feel like at any moment you could say F-you to God and"curse God and die"

    What can you say

    What can you say to people who do not believe in "Pure O" OCD. so many people believe you must have compulsions and the stereotypical handwashing, avoiding cracks, checking doornobs. It really irritates me when poeple who are not OCD make it sound like Pure O is does not even exist

    Affabel OCD nightmare! :(

    I have been there but trust me the bible never says that a christian can lose salvation. once you are known by God you cannot be unknown by God. Christ's atonment covers a multitude of sins past present and future. He saved you despite knowing the sin you would fall into after your salvation...
