  • 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 taboo premarital sex question...

    Wow, I did not intend to start a thread that would breed such hostility. This is just one of those topics that no one will fully agree on, so I stopped replying. I know what is right in God's eyes for my own life according to Scriptures, I was not asking anyones permission, nor was I trying to...

    The taboo premarital sex question...

    I really do not follow what you're trying to say here. Jesus said if a man divorces his wife for any other reason but in the case of fornication (and remarries) commits adultery. So, if you divorce your wife because you get tired of her (which is not an example of fornication), and you...

    The taboo premarital sex question...

    This is the only other reply with Scripture, so I'll reply to it, all other replies, I did not read (I'm sorry since you put a lot of time into typing so much), since I asked only for Scripture, and I did not see any in those replies. The story in John 4 has nothing at all to do with...

    The taboo premarital sex question...

    Okay, maybe I should be a bit more clear on why not to use the sanctity of marriage argument. Often people use Genesis 2:24 in weddings in order to justify or explain the 'sanctity of marriage' and thus use that to back up why premarrital sex (or sex without a wedding) is wrong. But, when I...

    The taboo premarital sex question...

    Wow, got a few more replies quicker than I had hoped for. I'll reply to the fornication bit first. Fornication cannot mean voluntary sexual intercoarse between unmarried persons and I'll show you why. Let's do some word swapping. Matthew 19:7-9 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then...

    The taboo premarital sex question...

    I know it's been discussed many times, I have read the discussions. But problem is, I go to reply to them, and I'll be derned if I can't find the posts. So many people insist that premarrital sex is absolutely wrong and that you should cease and desist immediately and repent if you are one of...

    Divinely chosen spouse

    God does have one made for every single person and He will join you two in His time if you trust Him. I know this from experience, as I met a few that were not from Him, and when I gave up and stopped looking, He brought her to me. He told me she was the one I am to marry. Another reason...

    Language Used When Speaking About Disability

    I think that every person on this planet earth has at least one imperfection about them. So the real question is, what is normal? Plan 9: I dont' know why people have to butt into other people's business, maybe it's to hide their own imperfections by amplifying others. There ARE quite few...

    Sculpting

    I don't see anything posted, as far as pictures go. Maybe I am doing something wrong? *EDIT* Oops, nevermind, I guess you just have to be logged in to view any pictures. That is a very nicely done piece, you say you did it in wax even? Where do you buy wax like that? I have not seen...

    Sculpting

    Excellent book, I will have to do a search for some videos as well. That book has exactly what I am looking to sculpt (at least on the cover). I'm a visual learner, so maybe they have a video that is similar. So have you made any sculptures yet from what you have learned from the book?

    Language Used When Speaking About Disability

    Just curious, how is crippled or handicapped more of a stereotype than physically challenged? All three are labels and are no more dimeaning than the other (IMO). :confused: In fact, I have more often heard the word 'cripple' be used to hurt someone moreso than they others, yet it seems...

    Sculpting

    Hmm, well I have seen a lot of neat things with that Polymer clay. I suppose I should get my feet wet by starting on a project like that, but I was talking more like taking a block of clay and carving out a face or a head of a person or animal. Most of the sites you linked are building clay up...
