  • 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.

    Question about time forms in the greek bible

    I have a question for those who know greek. I heard that in greek there are different time forms and depending on which time form is used it can either mean that somehow is done once and for all which I think is the case when a verb is in past perfect and if a verb is in the imperfect then this...

    Why did Paul tell Timothy to drink some wine?

    @ km richards If you think drinking some wine is such a sin then don't do it but I don't like it how you come along making it look like if you drink some wine you're sinning and cannot be "holy" that's ridiculous. Also if Jesus had not produced alcoholic wine at the wedding it would have made...

    Teachings which deal with DOUBTS?

    Hello, but if it was that easy then everybody would get healed when he prays because if healing is God's will then God would just heal all who pray but that's obviously not happening since many do not get healed, including me. So this means either God doesn't want to heal all OR he wants to but...

    Marrying someone whos both male and female?

    First of all, we do not know how the OP of a thread reacts to destructive replies and also it's not only about the OP but about all who read here. Even if the OP is able to wade through all the junk then it's still a danger for those who simply read the forums.

    Have you been helped by the advice you received?

    I don't like most of the advice which are given here and I feel sorry for those who come here hoping for help and then get harmed by hyperradical christians who think that they know it all and make requirements which are totally unrealistic and unhealthy. And my impression is that here are far...

    Marrying someone whos both male and female?

    I could understand it if somebody had a problem with a gay male who suddenly thinks that having boobs would look cool. Such a thing would be disgusting but this is not the same as somebody who was born this way. I also don't think that people who do not suffer from this are in the position at...

    mastabating

    Well, 200 years ago many christians believed sex is only for getting children and other than that it's sinful. Is this better than what we have today? Not everything which is old is automatically good. I wouldn't want to have lived back then with chastity belts and cornflakes which were supposed...

    Have you been helped by the advice you received?

    The problem is not that somebody is a baby christian. What I absolutely cannot stand is when people post like they have the ultimate authority and whatever they say is true. I think many here really get off by playing the hardcore christian and always doing like everything is sin. I have read so...

    Marrying someone whos both male and female?

    That's really retarded. Why even care about the opinions of christians who would reject a person which was born with a birth defect? This is the same as rejecting somebody who was born without arms or legs. :doh:

    Marrying someone whos both male and female?

    So this means she has a real vagina now? I'm just asking to be sure. I thought the reason why christians have a problem with her as the OP wrote is because she still has male genitals but if she doesn't then why would anyone have a problem with her when she looks like a woman and is not a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]?

    Sharing a book

    I see no point in these books anyway. What's it good for to write prayers down in them? This is the typical commercial christian stuff which nobody really needs but everybody thinks he must use those books where you write down thoughts and prayers. Do you later on check how many prayers didn't...

    mastabating

    Now this falls under the category: Toxic advice which will either make you fall off or make you lose your mind I am really amazed how much crappy advice you can get on a forum when it's big enough. If I ran this forum I'd really ask myself if this is actually helping people or rather hurting...

    mastabating

    Yeah it causes chemical imbalances, right.... if you say it then it must be true. File closed, people. File closed! :wave: It's as selfish as eating something or emptying your bowels. I guess you should also try to stop that. Stop being so darn selfish! Going to the toilet costs time and brings...

    Another topic on Lust / Sexual Desire

    First of all, you will not find many men who marry another woman without being attracted to her. That is why you marry in the first place. And also it's not even totally clear what this verse actually means. I have also often heard the interpretation that this verse is talking about married men...
