• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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's happening? I see that there has been some changes around here. Good or bad?

    You got it! :thumbsup: That sums up my problems with groups such as 'AA' and 'CR' nicely. These types of groups, although meaning well, do cause the person to focus on behaviors. Focusing on behaviors and identifying with such behaviors is not only wrong but will cause a self-fulfilling...

    Howdy, Larry, My short answer is "yes", however, this 'concept' is not new. The Truth that we are no longer slaves to sin but newly alive in Christ is not a new thing. It's been my personal experience as well as observation(s) that most Christians don't truly believe this. This is why I stated...

    Hi, Divinah, With all due respect and no offense intended, I find Celebrate Recovery as problematic as AA, if not more. I say more, because all Celebrate Recovery has done is replaced "Higher Power" with Jesus Christ. It's great that Jesus Christ is openly worshipped and discussed in Celebrate...

    Sorry to hear about the recent DUI. It's not the "disease" which is ruining your life, but your flesh. Don't identify with the world but with Christ only! Yes, you are correct. AA does not work. It is God who "works". I am teaching/leading a group at my Church based on curriculum from...

    I got banned from TOL again

    Didn't you start a thread about erinmarie or something? Well, it doesn't matter I guess. I agree with you that certain people have it out for you there, however, my only point to you was that you shouldn't have given them any amunition. Oh, well... Glad to see you here though. How is the...

    I got banned from TOL again

    Hey, I see you changed your username. I like it! I love those Police Academy movies. Man, that was sure fast for you at TOL. You should have let bygones be bygones, amigo. You would have been fine if you would have let all that bad history go. That was the choice I had to make when I...

    Well, I've never experienced what you have experienced, but I have many friends who are survivors of this type of atrocity. I can tell you what they did. Two of my friends attended a Survivors Group and went through counseling. I know that it took them a while to get to a place where they...

    It's quite possible that you are not a drunkard. If I may be so bold, it does sound like you are at the very least drinking for the wrong reasons. Think of it as idolatry. For example, I don't drink anymore, but at times, I don't rest in God and relapse back into my flesh over something...

    I can understand you asking yourself that question. A lot of people, and good Christians too, often wonder why bad things happen to good people. I have wondered that myself. I can say that I've learned that God is sovereign. I don't believe that God is the author of evil nor do I believe...
