  • 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've just started attending a church regularly so I don't have so much fellowship there at the moment - but yeh perhaps if I lighten my schedule - like drop courses, that may help. It's something I'll def consider. God Bless x

    Do you trust? Who?

    I trust the Lord's plan but I wish he'd reveal to me a starting point. Instead of just leaving me to make big decisions on my own

    Fasting for Baptism.

    I'm hoping to start a fast tomoz - as I may be getting baptized on the weekend and I want to get closer to God and I would like him to respond to someone about this and whether it is what he wants for me. I need tips tho on recommended time and how dangerous it is - and whether I should do a...

    The God we Christians believe in is a divine sadist.

    I could just brush your questions aside, but when I've struggled with the exact same questions I feel I should share with you the conclusions I have come to. I personally believe that God cries at the pain we feel on earth, that he actually cries his eyes out when he sees it, and that he...

    Went to College and Stopped Believing

    Forgive me, but I don't think that's quite true - I've known several strong christians who have left and gone to uni this year - and several of them have fallen away from God, and simply don't believe anymore. I feel that what may have been experienced by '2stepsatatime' was a religion, which...

    Stressed young woman seeking friendship and advice with old and young alike.

    I haven't been baptised yet - but the people who I have been speaking about it to have two contrasting opinions. 1) Your Baptism can be used by God, Your testimony can be a witness for God and that for me to do it on my Christian Union weekend away it would be too isolated and may not be what...
