  • 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.

    I don't believe I smoke this much weed...

    Thanks for all the support - it truly helps. I will try some of the suggestions offered. I get so convicted when i smoke continuously throughout the weeks. i'm just not the same person when i'm always smokin. i know as a follower of Christ, I should be sober, and that's what bugs me most...

    I don't believe I smoke this much weed...

    Well, please forgive me if I offend anyone by admitting this, but I smoke a lot of weed. On a daily basis I'll smoke about $15 to $20 worth (what a waste). I can't seem to snap myself back in shape and quit smoking. No one likes me doing it. I would have never thought that after I got saved...

    I'm so lost... (catholicism)

    Wow... This thread got very large. Well, i'm afraid that once again I'm left without a clear answer. I don't expect to get one in the next 50 pages either. Some of you are acting like arrogant jerks, both protestant and Catholic. In all respect, grow up. You're the reason this is so...

    There's just so much confusion via logic

    I'm so lost... (catholicism)

    Hallelujah then :) Thank you everyone. But can someone explain why he even would say I am? Or can you point me to where I can study more into this? I'd like to at least help him out by explaining to him the truth.

    I'm so lost... (catholicism)

    What is he basing his reasoning off of that i would go to hell? I need at least some logic to counter what he's been saying.

    I'm so lost... (catholicism)

    Pardon my ignorance, but didn't the pope do this, or can he? The bible can tell me whether or not I am, right? So how does catholicism justify me going to hell if I do have faith in Jesus the Christ?

    I'm so lost... (catholicism)

    I need some help badly. I've been protestant all my life. One of my friends, who is extremely intelligent became catholic last year. I've been sort of tortured with the thought of catholicism vs. protestantism. According to my friend, i'm going to hell. I have faith that i'm saved by Jesus...

    Hallelujah

    I've been learning so much about God lately. I've learned how to be content no matter what. My favorite verse is John 16:33. I printed it out and thumb tacked right by my door to remind me everyday :) I'm 18 years old and I go to a secular college, and even taking a philosophy class :)...

    All night prayers... Why?

    Dentonz, I understand in some circumstances praying a lot can show God your faith. But my point is that I highly doubt that Jesus was thinking in His head "Ok I really need to get this prayer answered, so I'm going to pray all night..." His prayers were authentic, they weren't limited by...

    All night prayers... Why?

    Hey, First of all, I am in no way bashing all night prayers... I use to do them myself. Please do not take this offensively, because I know many will. I do not want to seem prideful or arrogant so forgive me if I sound like it. I just don't see how it's biblical to pray over and over again...

    God answers Yes/No/Maybe... ?

    Where in the Bible is the idea of God answering prayer with yes/no/maybe based? I have not seen it to tell you the truth. I have the understanding that whatever God says is true and gives us the authority to work with it. For example... give and it shall be given to you... knock and it will...

    Podcast Recommendations

    Yo, I'm looking to pump up my iTunes with some preachings with a sound pentecostal doctrine. Pretty much any good and annointed preachings that believe in the gifts of the Spirit. Can you link me to their website or if you don't know it, the church name so i can look it up on itunes. Thanks...
