  • 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

    Lonely 20 year old feeling lost, depressed, stressed out and unable to sleep much

    Whenever I look expectantly with excitement for God to deliver me from something, that is when it happens. It almost never happens when I worry and get depressed. Sometimes God brings someone my way, or lets me read something that changes the way I see my circumstances, or how I see a certain...

    For those new to OCD/scrupulosity

    Even if it "was" God that told you to preach on the corner 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and Titus 1:2 says "God can not lie" so it must be true. Confess it, and believe God has forgiven you...

    i hear God

    I think changing the tatoo into something else would be a awesome idea, and would probably relieve a lot of torment.

    My "Voices" my disorder...

    I don't have schizophrenia, but I have often thought that maybe the voices people hear are demons trying to make them do things, or to merely torment them. As for the meds making the voices go away, maybe it's not the meds, maybe it's the person's faith. They believe the voices will go when they...

    What do you make of nonchristians who speak in tongues?

    Paul was rebuking them because they were speaking in tongues without an interpreter, period. He never said their tongues were not given utterance by the Holy Spirit. If that's the case, Paul would not have told them to speak to themselves and to "God" twice in that chapter, he would have told...

    things are bad

    I know what you mean. I was afraid of losing people too. With every person that came along I was just waiting for them to find a reason to leave. The only way I was able to overcome that was to decide to be a friend to someone, instead of looking for someone to be mine. Now, I just try to be...

    I told my counselor my blasphemous thought about the Holy Spirit, help!

    The exact thing happened to me. When I first turned to God, and started reading the Bible, I came across Mark 3:29. Immediately intense fear gripped me. I wondered if I might have already blasphemed the Holy Spirit, or if I might do it by accident. I tried to clear my mind so I wouldn't do it by...

    things are bad

    I have had OCD most of my life. The past seven years it's been at it's worse. The triggers became more numerous and intense, and my emotional state from the triggers began to last days and weeks instead of just minutes or hours. To make a long story short, I realized I had better win this war or...
