  • 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

    What do you do to make your life meaningful? (Been feeling useless)

    Lately..I've been feeling like what I'm doing in life is so pointless. I'm studying for an accounting degree and working..that's basically what I do. I was so consumed for the past while with studying, and now summer is here and I've taken off from classes for the first time in a LONG time, and...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    Yeah I think it's more maturity level than a set number. Some older people aren't mature and some younger people may be. The reason what he said sounded genuine to me is because he explained which I already knew, he's only ever been around either church people, who get engaged after like 6...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    As an update.. I've talked to him about the responses I've gotten and tried to explain my reasons more clearly. It's not that I'm pressuring him, I'm trying not to because as people have said, it wouldn't mean as much if he did it just because I pressured him. But when I talked to him he seemed...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    This is always the best advice, so thank you for reminding me to just trust God. It's not really just me being eager to do this though, it's me worrying that because of what HIS opinion is, that it means he doesn't care for me as strongly as I do him. I just see no reason to be hesitant when he...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    I mean, I'm not against it or anything, it's nice. But I always kind of felt like promise rings are basically the same thing as engagement, except maybe a bit less pricey. So I don't know if I understand the concept. Ya know?

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    We can't get married right now, as I've mentioned in the original post, we're studying in college, and we can't really afford to live together yet. We are both going to different schools an hour apart. I wanted to get engaged because we can't get married now but I want to be in a committed...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    Honestly my mom views things quite differently than I do. A lot of older people just tell me how big of a decision something like that is and that I should just "date around" more. But I know that my bf has a lot of great qualities and loves God and I know that we're compatible and would share a...

    He doesn't want to have a "long engagement"??

    I decided to post in the married forum because I wanted some advice from people who have been in my life stage and experienced the process. So, I've been with my boyfriend for about 2.5 years. He's 26, I'm 22. We're both still studying in college and have about 2 years left to go. While we...

    Should Christians touch?

    The reason that it can be sinful is because of lust. The Bible says that even if a man thinks of a woman in that way, he's already committed adultery. Most of the time, people use either porn or visual thoughts to stimulate, which is lust. HOWEVER, it IS possible to touch without having...

    Dreams, Visions, and the like

    I think this is great. I actually have always wished to have more meaningful dreams because I think they're an exciting gift. I don't think you're crazy. Just always use discernment to judge whether these things are coming from the one true God. I personally believe that God can speak to us in...

    Premarital sex struggles...advice needed!

    Another person said something similar. Honestly I never really thought about it. It just seems strange to have to explain to people when they see that you're wearing a ring but know you don't live like a married couple. And sad that we wouldn't be able to do things normally :( Most people in the...

    Premarital sex struggles...advice needed!

    In response to tdidymas, no, I'm positive that he isn't using me or hiding something. In fact, back when we began having sex, I was the one pressuring him. I'm a really passionate person and I love him deeply and that's why this began. Plus we weren't as tuned in to God back then. He wants to...
