• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 would like this forum to remain a safe place

I love that purpose. I am so grateful that there is a site which treasures Christians seeking a safe harbor. I was reminded of how essential this is when I took a short peek at the politics forum. Yikes. In six pages of search I didn't find a single instance of the word Christ or Jesus. So all disciples here centered in the love of Christ insulated from the 'sturm and drang' you are valuable, a life line for many. My conscience pulls me to engage. So I do. But without the examples of your faithfulness and stability this world would be even sadder than it is. When I post in other threads about my concerns which differ from yours I hope you never doubt my regard for who you are.

By and large this Forum is pretty safe. I also take part in another Chrisian Forum where there is a lot of abusive posts by those who don't like you disagreeing with their views. I have recently been attacked because of this and have taken time out from that Forum for my own sanity.

This site is broken down into two main sections. The Christian Only areas and the parts everyone can participate in.

There is a political section in both areas, but they are not hugely different from each other, because being Christian doesn’t mean you all have the same political beliefs. And those are debate areas. If you want something safer, there are Congregational forums, which are safe-houses for people of that specific faith. Or there are Fellowship forums, Devotional forums, game forums, etc.

If you want to know about something specific, feel free to ask.
