  • 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 always struggled with prayer.

    My friend, it is my understanding that all Christians struggle with prayer and some point and many struggle with it throughout their lives. My only advice to you is that whether you believe it will help or not, try telling the Lord how you feel. Perhaps using a prayer help like "Shorter...

    How do you know who and what is right?

    I realize it's not really this simple. But I try to ask in every case. If it is an act, is it loving? If it is a person, are they teaching from love? That's only where I start but it seems to be a fairly helpful start.

    Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

    I don't think I've ever actually said hello here. I've been away from CF for quite a while, well on and off anyway. My understanding of God as grown some and my calling has taken me some places that I'd never expected.

    Why do churches not embrace both morality and compassion?

    I've read the thread and can really only come up with one reasonable response. The moral thing IS the compassionate thing. Perhaps I am thinking about this too simply but I cannot understand how "defriending" someone on social media simply because they support human rights for the LGBTQ...

    Is it okay for Americans to hate communists?

    Right because people are only motivated by money. Have you ever taken a behavioral science class? Have you ever taken an Economics class beyond intro classes? Most people in poverty do not choose to be impoverished. Most people are motivated by factors other than money. I would argue if...

    Is it okay for Americans to hate communists?

    You think that poverty is a choice. Interesting stance. You stereotype well.

    Poll: What is Scott Roeder guilty of? (2)

    I guess the most logical answer is that God draws the line at faith. For whatever reason God requires faith. By definition if you had definitive proof of God then you would not have faith you would have knowledge. Once one has "proof" faith is no longer possible. I can't say I completely...

    Is it okay for Americans to hate communists?

    Unfortunately in this world most don't agree with you which is why it becomes necessary for the government to get involved.

    Is it okay for Americans to hate communists?

    So satan in the form of a snake had sex with women and eventually all of those descendants became Communists?

    Is it okay for Americans to hate communists?

    No you are not totally off, redistribution of wealth is a central theme of communism, that wasn't my point. My point is that you were arguing against something while admitting you didn't know what that something is. By the way Capitalism is also a redistribution of wealth. Capitalism and...
