  • 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.

I dont know how to explain I just feel drawn to it, maybe cause I was baptized at birth. I've also listened to a lot of lectures on christianity like the Jordan Peterson ones on exodus and I find it to be a beautiful religion. I also feel like it's kind of my duty cause it feels like society is falling due to atheism.

All very good. Jordan Peterson is good even if he is sitting on the fence. His wife recently took the plunge though to become Christian and he may someday too. If you are near Stockholm you are in the neighborhood of Catholic cardinal Anders Arborelius, whom I have heard good things about. And not too crazy far from Catholic bishop Erik Varden in Trondheim Norway, (I know, different language and all) who has astounding messages that I have enjoyed. See Coram Fratribus - Coram Fratribus I myself am half Danish but I do not speak the language and have never been there.

Hello. I'm from Sweden, a very secular country. Im new to christianity and im excited to learn more here on this forum. :)
Welcome to the forums, and welcome to Christianity. I like the dance music from Sweden, as well as ABBA (1970s-1980s). It is sad how Sweden is secular though.

Jim Yosef is from Sweden

Lyrics (2016):

I tried, I tried to fight alone 'Cause sometimes, sometimes we just don't know
That we can do anything together, if we just try And as long as we have our backs whenever our foes come by (forever)
This time we will win This time we'll have to join forces
This time we will win This time we'll have to join forces
Castles and dragons, the battle begins tonight Are you with me?
This is our kingdom and we will rise tonight
We are a team Castles and dragons, the battle begins tonight Are you with me?
This is our kingdom and we will rise tonight
We are a team
We can do anything together, if we just try
And as long as we have our backs whenever our foes come by (forever)
This time we will win This time we'll have to join forces This time we will win This time we'll have to join forces

Welcome home, Sibling in our most indescribably wonderful Jesus!

Luke 15:7 I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don’t need repentance.​
There's a celebration in Heaven going on over you, baloo96!

Hi there my friend. Seek God and His righteousness. Be careful of what men may say and write. Let the Bible and His Spirit be your guide through this life

Hello.
I hope I can hear a little about Sweden, and your experience with atheism there.
Enjoy your stay.
