  • 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 feel completely sick and can't believe it ...

    you didn't know. you were probably sharing your pain and experience with this person so they wouldn't feel that they were all alone. I guess your attentions were to comfort them. don't blame yourself, the person was the one that was deceitful. just thank God that you now know the truth.

It can sometimes take a toll when...

    Struggling with Christianity

    Durga, sometimes I sit back and remember when I was a very little girl. Back then my faith was so innocent and complete. It pretty much boiled down to the fact that Jesus was in heaven with His angels and he loved me and always watched over me. There was no conflict back then. I felt Loved and I...

    Hardened heart

    I don't believe salvation is an emotional response. Salvation is based on truth and that truth is Jesus Christ. I have to agree with lillamb and bignorsk, from your statements, It sounds as though your suffering from depression and that can be a physical thing. Not always but sometimes. Maybe...
