  • 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.

    How do I know if I love Jesus?

    I learn more on my own at home. Do I feel guilty? No. There is a web site for people who have had bad church experiences or may not even be familiar with Christianity. Feel free to use whatever may be of interest. The blog archive can be interesting. Christian Pioneer

    Is it a sin to get a vasectomy?

    If children are a heritage from the Lord, getting a vasectomy can be a way of saying, "I have my own plans and want to avoid what God may have for me". Oral contraceptives are similar but many of them act as abortions by failing to allow an embryo to implant. The whole problem with mankind is...

    How do I know if I love Jesus?

    It can be confusing because of the different definitions of "love". Half of the popular songs may be considered to be about the emotional sensations that one feels often called love. The bible has a different definition of love that might be called selflessness; 1Co 13:4 Love suffereth long...

    I dont love God like a christian should

    Most Christians are unaware that they are expected to grow and mature into Christ-likeness much less how to do it. Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: This...

    Cousin is going through random rage fits and lashing out at her childhood. Any advice on what she might be going through and how I can help?

    Sometimes a mental illness can manifest in the late teens. This might also be feeding a root of bitterness. Some of us who experienced actual child abuse find it advantageous to look at it like a car accident and move past it as best as one can. There is nothing to be gained in fanning the...

    Expericancing ailments because I have sinned?

    Some health issues are a result of sin such as STDs or liver problems related to alcoholism. Other health problems can happen by chance because we live in a world since the flood in which we have shorter lifespans and are vulnerable to disease. One may speculate that God created these changes...

    Problem with coworker

    Your supervisor may not even be aware of the problem. It is sad but often supervisors may have little idea about what is happening in their departments. If this is the case, you can explain the situation, but not in great detail. Your supervisor may want to report it to HR, but fear the...

    Problem with coworker

    I have found that one can limit other people from sexual talk around you if you react consistently in semi-humorous way. for example, saying, "I could have gone all day without that image in my head", or "Just because you mind is X-rated doesn't mean you need to share." When someone attempt to...

    High IQ Christians

    Advice from school staff can be questionable. It reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons where Bart was cautioned that in his future would likely be a drifter. Bart's response was to be captivated by the adventure he pictured that to entail. Decades before that the TV show Candid Camera went...
