  • 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.

    Statues, idols, crosses,crucifixes and pictures - are they sin?

    Sounds to me like this is just YET another sectarian thread on your behalf. It's more important to you, it seems, that Protestantism gets bashed than a proper, calm debate occurs? And to take your sectarianism further, you also appear to be full of hatred towards Protestants and your main...

    A long winded assortment of problems

    I didn't. But I'm (working up the nerve to) starting to write it ALL, from the beginning. It may become enough to make a book. I'm happy to share it, when I manage to put anything coherent together (PM me if you like) Thankyou for the encouragement.

    Is the minster in your church an atheist?

    Very well put. Those who choose to join the religion known as "atheism" need a hell (lol) more faith than Christians do...

    My employers are Hindus

    The symbols would be of their gods, of which there are many. Would you be prevented from wearing a cross or such? If not, then it is not really something you can take issue about. However, your uneasiness may be the holy spirit prompting you to get out of that place. While not wanting to assume...

    should I keep in contact

    In the world, but not of it. I stay in touch with non Christian, atheist, Muslim etc friends. Why not? But find yourself a Christian study/worship group with similar beliefs as your own new ones and that can nourish you and help you grow in your faith.

    A long winded assortment of problems

    Your advice sucks. And your relationship idea is unscriptural and not in line with Gods direction on that matter.

    A long winded assortment of problems

    Thanks for telling me I'm not saved. That's really great. I don't know where or how you got that notion but it isn't true. I'm also not going to get into a silly once saved always saved or not debate, but suffice it to say that there is ZERO question over my salvation. Hi, thanks. You've "got"...

    Question about Your Job

    This is so contrary to scripture it's difficult to even figure out how you came up with that conclusion!

    A long winded assortment of problems

    I did not come on here to post this. But I feel sort of compelled to. God, right? So, to some story. There's a few issues going on, you'll see. I'm 28 (which feels VERY old), single, male, saved when I was 16 and baptised at 20. I was brought up Presbyterian, joined an Elim church...

    Question about Your Job

    I've had that dread in the mornings before with certain jobs, and since left them after I ran out of endurance. One guy I met when I was new to the whole job thing, who was fairly formative in my early job attitudes, said "the days I get up and hate the thought of going to work, that's the...

    Solutions to sleep masturbation?

    My apologies if this sounds like teaching you to suck eggs, but - Are you sure you are called to be celibate, and why do you believe that? Along with that, or after thinking about that, I would suggest considering the words of Paul in that those who burn (yearn for a spouse) should not, but...

    Jesus' second coming

    What on earth are you talking about?! I can't figure out if you mean once someone is saved, or after the 2nd coming...

    There's something wrong with me

    Those won't help, so don't worry. I've been where you are. I would suggest to you that the first person you need is a Christian who will listen to you, in a counselling sense. NOT a counsellor, but a person who will just listen and let you talk. Putting it all out there means you can stack it...

    Anyone Having Issues at Work?

    I believe that work like this does not go unnoticed. I have heard so many instances of people doing the same kind of thing as you (doing others work, not making a fuss, rising above it etc) and ending up being selected for promotion, or being well rewarded, and/or winning over the respect of the...
