  • 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.

    What you watch...

    Marauder...I hear what you are saying...the Bible has driven me slightly mad in the past, but I have to trust it no matter what it does to me. Like the disciples said, "To where else would we go Jesus, you are the only one with the words of eternal life." ...As for medication, I have to admit...

    What you watch...

    I just want to say a lot of problems come from what you watch on tv and what you read and music and movies. A lot. When I changed these 4 things, my mind slowly began to get better. You can't watch all these horrific shows and read horror novels and listen to bad music and expect your mind...

    Diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenic

    I've also had the thinking people are talking in code, and also talking about me... a lot. I don't know if it is just an extreme form of selfishness, or if it is true. I hate it. I was at the vet the other day and two people were talking and I overheard, "Well I don't blame him, knowing what...

    Kidney Transplant please help

    It is not suicide in any way. Jesus Himself said, "There is no greater love than this. That a man lay down his life for his brother." If you were to die, which I don't think that you are, it would be for someone else, which is the highest form of love there is. There is nothing selfish about...

    I'm ugly and worthless :(

    I want to tell you something, and I swear to you it is true. I can't think of the last time that I have seen someone and thought, "They are ugly." That is the absolute truth. Not everyone sees people as ugly. Only very vain people do. I am 100% more concerned with kindness. You'd be very...

    OCD and schizo

    My belief is that all of these mind disorders can be healed with the Word of God (Bible). And, trust me, I've been doing it for 3 1/2 years now. It's the only thing that has ever helped me, and since I started studying the Word constantly and stopped watching and listening to bad things, my...

    Suicidal Thoughts

    One day, I asked God to "Save me from suicide. No matter what it comes down to, save me from suicide." So, I have an assurance that it is not the way I will go. It is not God's will. So, whenever I get those thoughts, I pray it again. Every now and then the thoughts creep in, especially...

    How do YOU know God is real?

    I know because ever since I set out to seek Him with my whole heart, my whole mind has changed. The way I think has changed, and I have been healed of demonic thinking. I have felt peace, and have been able to cry in a way I haven't done in years or maybe my whole life. He has helped me to...

    Question about Death

    I do think He will give us peace. I think He will provide just the perfect angels that are custom made for you, to usher you into His presence, and I think that there will be custom made music as well...all of the ingredients for a peaceful transition, all in a specific way that YOU will...

    Satan and Bad Anxiety

    I think any thoughts of preminitions of death are from Satan. It is an evil foreboding that is not from God. If God wants us to ignore the doctor's report that says we are going to die, then surely He also wants us to ignore the thoughts that tell us we are going to die. It's just Satan using...

    Should I Literally Believe in Noah's Ark?

    Here's something that helped me: I thought one day, "I don't believe that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and then was spit out after 3 days and lived." Then God said to me, "What if you saw it on the news? You would believe it without question wouldn't you?" That's a good way to think about...

    How to make a decision and discern God's voice?

    This is what I know: I wish so much that I would have gone to Bible college or something similar instead of going to MSU and partying. Anything involving the Word is a good decision in my opinion. If you think you are hearing from God, and follow His voice, then He will honor it even if it...

    How long does it take to renew the mind?

    Hi all,, In my teens and twenties, I filled my mind with horrible things. My thought was, "The more I know about everything, the smarter I'll be." So, I watched any movie, read any book, went anywhere, listened to any music, drank, and all the rest. Well, by the grace of God, I finally woke...
