  • 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.

    Bad conscience when praying for the conversion of atheists

    I don't know of any verse where Jesus told us to insist on praying for atheists until they convert. Quite the opposite, actually. Jesus told us to pray for our enemies, not for anyone who disagrees with us and certainly not until they agree with us. Telling them once to inform them is...

    I don't want to live forever

    Hi, Sorry to hear about your struggles and pain. First of all, eternity is everlasting peace, it's not your current life for ever.

    Is Paying Tithes Worth It?

    Hi, I'm not so sure the principle taught by church relies on the Bible, not on Jesus' word at least: "Cure the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse those with skin diseases, and force demons out of people. Give these things without charging, since you received them without paying. Don’t...

    Wife stealing, advice.

    If I was in your wife's position, I would definitely not send money to my family without telling my spouse, especially after we had a talk and I agreed not to do it. It's not about stealing or not stealing, it's about honesty. Is your wife a Christian? A real Christian? Does she think Christian...
