  • 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.

    Parental approval of dating partner

    I very rarely speak to my parents, so what they would think about a potential significant other actually means nothing to me. I do like family, but my family is a bit odd.

    How do you get people off the phone, politely?

    "I apologize, but I must get off the phone right now *add in whatever reason you have*, I'd be happy to discuss this with you at a time that is convenient to the both of us. Have a great day!" *CLICK!*

    can dreams help you stop the future?

    I'm sorry you are having upsetting dreams, and I hope they go away soon. Unfortunately, I stand on the side of dreams being a piece of the subconscious. After all, God may have given prophets dreams in the OT, but it's clearly stated elsewhere that psychics are of Satan; and seeing into the...

    Gals: How do you want to be approached?

    Well, I was set-up with my boyfriend by a mutual friend, so aside from that, I've never actually had someone come up to me and expressed any kind of interest. I've always thought that it would be cool to have a non-creepy, non-stalkerish, "secret admirer". Someone who to break the ice would...

    Dreams about babies

    Sounds like your bio-clock is really starting to tick. Maybe it's God's way of saying that you're ready to start a family?

    Snake Dreams

    I would actually suggest trying to go to someone who knows how to deal with fears. It sounds like you may be snake-phobic. I'm sorry you keep having them. My bad-dream animal of choice is huge, hairy spiders; and I typically wake up screaming.

    love

    I can't read God like a book, so I can't answer that last part for you. I would sound by how you're feeling, and the intensity & occasion of your dreams, that you may have reached a point in your life where you are desiring more than what you have. It doesn't need to be a husband. It could...

    A request of me made in church

    Ummm... it just sounds like a dream. It's obvious you like her, and you want her to need you to help her, maybe as a way to get to know her better or get closer to her. I'd just take it as a dream, and nothing more.

    A dream thats come back to me a few years later..

    Just a bad dream.

    Too many dreams about the same thing.

    I agree that it just sounds like you're doing what every mother does- fear for her child. There's a huge instinct in all of us to protect our own. As for the witnessing thing, that is to your discretion. I believe that younger than 13 is too young for hard-core witnessing and prayers of...

    Dream about a baby boy and woke up with song in my head

    Well, I went for a more literal approach. Searched out the meanings of boy's names, and one stood out: "Jonathan", which means "Planned/Given from God". So yeah, take it as you will

    Changing my first name.. anything wrong with doing it?

    Hello! There is nothing wrong with changing your name, whether you want to change it to something Christian or not. Even if you want to be named Obi-Wan, it's your decision. Which is exactly what I want to impart upon you, it needs to be YOUR decision. Choose a name that you like, that you...

    Please pray for a suicidal 23 year old Michael

    You shouldn't've let him go, especially if you love him. I see that as a problem that many Christians create for the people around them- when non Christians get into trouble, they hoist Christ upon then and back away. I'm sure that your leaving him alone has probably made him more depressed...

    blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

    The "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" as I was taught it (different for all denominations) is denial of Christ and the disallowment of the Holy Spirit to work in one's life. In other words, you didn't commit it unless you were someone who's saved that committed apostasy- which is being saved and...

    Jesus Camp video: Creation video for kids

    I have the whole documentary on my computer, if anyone would like to see it more in context, I can see about trying to find a place to host the whole 84 minutes. One way or another, it's a good watch.

    Virgin Mary Phantom of the Opera

    Except it's not mentioned in scripture. As an anthropologist, I am totally appauled to think that you would take the deities of other cultures and weave them into your own christian pan-spiritualism. It's demeaning to the culture. I don't care what colour Kali, Diana, Rhiannon, or any of...

    Spooky

    That isn't spooky, coincidence, or proof of anything other than what the author is trying to make it. My suggestion is for everyone to stop looking for connections where there aren't any... 'cause I'm sure that if I dug hard enough, I could find names, numbers, and equations to create any...

    Dream of Global Quake & Earth Tilt

    If that were to happen, at all, in any way, nothing on earth would survive. No ecosystem could survive such a phenomena, and we can't survive without our ecosystems.

    Blue eyes

    Try searching out some of the languages from India, both Northern and Southern, especially, but not limited to: Punjab, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. It could also have just been your mind creating a language too, to fill in what you don't know about whatever third-world area you pictured...

    Dreams

    I am naturally a lucid dreamer. I always have been. That's how I've been able to for the most part, handle any nightmares I've ever had. There's maybe been one or two times where I still am lucidly dreaming, but I can't control it, so I just have the complete knowledge that it is a dream, but...
