  • 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

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    Hence, my dilema. There is a church I want to go to this Sunday. I haven't even been to church in over 2 years. I fell away for personal reasons we need not dig up here. But I've been dating my fiance for quite a long time, I'm living with him, and I would like to marry him. He's not born...

    Oldie coming back as a Newbie

    I haven't really been to CF sine 2010 until very recently. I used to really participate here as a I am very bipolar. I went off my meds again about a year ago and I recently crashed and burned again as a result of that decision. Now I'm on some new meds. They are helping but not entirely...

    Thanks for that, Assyrian. I allow myself to wander from time to time, too.

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    Actually, this thread was started to discuss where a TE might find a church with a TE POV. You're skewing it into another conversation entirely. However, I believe in Christ's literal death on the cross and his grace being sufficiant for me, I need not justify any of it to you or any one else...

    Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

    This is my Hello post. I am not sure if I belong in this forum or not but I don't know where else I belong, either. I'm more of a confused born again Christian saved by grace through faith. However, I'm also of a different mind sometimes on certain issues than my conservative church, so I don't...

    Cant stop smoking weed :(

    Same for me. I'm an alcoholic in recovery, and I'm just now quitting smoking regular cigarettes. I was never addicted to pot, but was very hooked on narcotics from the doctor for a long time. I do understand what the OP is going through on some level. I will be in prayer. But I also understand...

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    I cannot believe you want to turn this simple post for help into this debate right here in this thread? OK... I just don't take Gensis literally. Why does it have to be literal in order for us to accept it as God's Holy Word?

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    I just have unsaved friends and a fiance who allow this issue to be a stumbling block to their personal salvation. And yes, a lot of my views are more conservative.

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    I have to agree with you, there. However, my fiance doesn't know Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour and he allows this issue to become a stumbling block. Tho, the church we are to visit together this Sunday focuses on Grace, tho they happen to be YEC. I just want him to accept the Lord as...

    Hi, I haven't been here in so long, I figured I'd say hello to everyone alltogether here.

    Having trouble finding a church with TE POV

    Hi. I used to be a full on Southern Baptist, YEC. A while back, and thanks to some people who are still here ;), I became a TE. I am now engaged to a TE. I haven't been to church in a long time and the only ones I know are conservative and creationist of one sort or another. I don't know...
