  • 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.

    Christening need info asap please!!

    I don't think shes having a photographer... Its weird she is not religious but has decided on either CofE or Methodist because catholics don't believe in Abortion or contraception... So there is some sort of religious thought going on in her head. It's confusing but i just wanted to be ready to...

    Christening need info asap please!!

    Yes that is exactly what i'm saying, which is why i was trying to convince her to have a thanksgiving ceremony as thats far more appropriate for non religious parents. I've tried as much as i can and explained everything to her but shes determined for a christening so not much else i can do now...

    Christening need info asap please!!

    Thanks :) It really bugs me that she wants it done just for a nice day and gifts for the baby, i think it should be more a religious thing and she fully understands what shes doing. I would have thought a thanksgiving service would be more appropriate but shes not interested in that.

    Christening need info asap please!!

    Yes i know what its all about, however they are not religious at all. I've tried explaining to her what its about but shes not interested in the religious "jargon" Just which ceremony is the best for her, her partner and everyone else. :-\ So i'm trying to give her the best info based on that.

    Christening need info asap please!!

    Thanks, we have had a look in her local area and they only seem to have evanglical, CofE, Methodist, Catholic and a Pentecostal. So shes narrowed it down to CofE and Methodist, i attend a methodist church but i don't think there is that much of a difference, do you know of any obvious...

    Tell the story

    Hmmm its a very interesting picture... I'm not too sure of alot of it but with the magic number square... I guess if you add them all up it comes to 45? The word Fidelity is supposedly mentioned in the Bible 45 times. Also some think the Bible has special numbers and 45 is supposed to mean...

    Bible meaning- matthew 15- 21:28

    Yes thank you, i understand now. I have also been looking at other bibles and see the translation is different in some he seems to be portrayed as being (for lack of another word) meaner to her and less interested, whereas in others it just seems as he is being friendly but too busy to stop...

    Thanks :) I do have a slight issue as my Reverend has told me Methodist's won't baptise you again if you have been baptised/ christened as an infant. Irritatingly! What would be another route to this? Confirmation?

    Holy spirit...

    I do have another question, i've been reading up on all this properly now to better understand. As speaking in tongues is to do with the Baptism of the holy spirit, should i have it really? I haven't been baptised in the holy spirit... I was christened as a child if that makes a difference. I...
