  • 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

    The Hangout Coffee Shop

    Since it looks like we're talking about coffee...my favorite coffee drink is an iced mocha (living in Houston, I don't drink hot coffee very much). But I am more of a tea person than anything.

    Thank you guys!! :) It's so great to have such a warm welcome!! A big thing that I haven't figured out how to do is quote people in thread replies. Would someone be able to tell me how to do that?

    Is it okay for a person to be proud of their race?

    I think it can be taken a little legalistic when people are saying the Scriptures warning against pride are talking about not being proud of one's ethnicity. For example, I'm proud to be a Texan and I don't believe that's the kind of pride that's being referred to in the Scriptures. When God's...

Even though I've had an account on Christian Forums for a few months, I'm still not too familiar with how it works. But I'd like to get more active on it. My name is Sarah and I'm a 21 year old wife...
