  • 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.

    Night on Bald Mountain...

    I have spent half my life living the life of the fantastic "Night on Bald Mountain" mountain-demon in Disney's classic "Fantasia." And yet, I ended up being one of the few who carried the light towards the mountain at the end, when daylight broke. I'm sorry if my posts offended anyone. I...

    making plans to seperate

    SearcherKris said, "Sometimes leaving someone is the best thing you can do for them." SearcherKris just said the most wonderful thing in the world. This is absolutely true. In the right case, it will allow that person to learn to rely on God rather than peers. Tough love. It happened to me...

    Is H an unbeliever, despite claiming to know Christ?

    Go over Corinthians, and make a list of what Paul said 'Love" is. Then go down and honestly mark every trait of heavenly love you've seen your b/f exhibit. You will have your answer.

    Time to move on???

    God does not desire divorce. It sounds as if your heart is in the right place. But marriage involves two wills. If he will not submit to God, then you're experiencing the complications Paul predicted in being either single or married. If this is true, and I were in your situation, (I am male)...

    When advice is no longer good advice

    Your suggestion is true, but you miss the point entirely. In your zeal to praise advice, you misunderstand the possibility of misguided advice, and how it's delivered. I receive advice from anyone, it allows me to consider things that might not be open to me at the time. I never rejected the...

    When advice is no longer good advice

    One thing that kept me from becoming Christian for a long time was the adage that "Christians shoot their own wounded." Many give well-meaning advice that is in accordance with God's word, and should be heeded and followed. But acknowledgement is not always the result of our life-situation, or...

    Do i divorce cause she wants to......?

    I realize that our marriage was over three years before we got divorced. However, neither of us knew it at the time. We had to go through it. If it's to the point where you guys are talkinging like that, you might wish to investigate whether or not it's a good move, and move on so that you don't...

    Hey all you strugglers!

    Thank you for your replies, your acknowledgements... No, my ex wants to reconcile, but I can't at this time. I don't know why. I don't think I'll ever reconcile. After that event, I'm no longer that person. Now, I have to seek God in a new way. I don't know what that way is, but it will be...

    Hey all you strugglers!

    I'm 44 and I've been divorced for two years. I have a ten-year old son for whom I'd walk through fire. I join your ranks now, and I just needed to post why. I've been a university professor and high school teacher of English Lit for fifteen years. I also taught seminars on C.S. Lewis, John...
