    I believe in Jesus, but I cannot accept some mainstream Christian beliefs.

    Hi Lizzybeth, I read your original post and I wanted to let you know that yes there are others out there like you. I found myself agreeing with what you wrote in your post. Like you I'm not posting here to get in an argument with anyone. I believe in Jesus. I am most familiar with...

    Is it moral to discuss who has the right to call themselves Christian?

    It seems like the discussion has moved on but I just wanted to say how touched and encouraged I was by the original post. It was a very beautiful explanation of God's love and grace for ALL of us. I have had someone question whether or not I was really saved as I had walked away from God for a...

    How to get through the day

    I've struggled with depression for at least 20 years and as I've read some of the posts in this forum my heart breaks for what you all are going through because I've been in some of those places too. It's so difficult, especially when we try to talk to family or friends especially if they're...

    Progressive Interpretation of the Bible

    Hi Everyone, I need help. So the last time I was here at CF was almost 3 years ago and I was an atheist then. I had been a truly fundamentalist christian for 3 years prior to that but ended up leaving the faith entirely. Over the past three years I've done some soul searching and have very...

    GWB response to tsunami

    Actually I don't hate the president; I don't hate anyone. It's true that I don't support him and I don't agree with a lot of his policy or decisions so I guess in your definition that would mean I "hate" the president. Just as any dissenting viewpoint must be "bashing". thanks for the laugh...

    GWB response to tsunami

    So the president couldn't take a few minutes between the numerous phone calls that he had to make to speak publicly for all americans and to the world community?

    GWB response to tsunami

    If some of you would put your slavish devotion to our president aside, stop & read FACTS, you'd see that waiting 4 days is not exactly JUMPING on the issue.

    GWB response to tsunami

    I find it very amusing that anything that is said in criticism of the president is being labeled as "bashing" or sour grapes or what have you....I stand by what I wrote as I believe that we should hold the president of the US to a higher standard; instead of the dumbing down of the presidency...

    GWB response to tsunami

    I'm not a republican or a fan of the president; however there are some things that cross all lines. I know that there are many people in the US who have contributed to the relief efforts for the tsunami victims; but our president, as has happened on numerous other occasions; must be prodded to...

    Questions

    Hey everyone, I was wondering....a week or so ago I was a segment on a christian news program about the church in China. They're on fire for the Lord and many are going on missions to dangerous places, knowing full well that they may not come back...but they are volunteering gladly, even...

    Hi everyone, I'm going through a lot of difficulty in my life right now, financially, career related, family and my emotions are getting out of control. I've been living in bondage to my emotions--I am almost constantly feeling fearful, worried, anxious, and angry. I have continued to seek God...
