  • 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 hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Is it Sinful to Feel Suicidal?

    I'm not quite sure what the Bible says about this, but I have occasionally felt suicidal at various points in my life - even as recently as last night. I fear that allowing such feelings to creep into my consciousness is unChristian and sinful, since contemplating suicide implies that my faith...

    Hello to My Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

    Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. The quoted Bible verse is a powerful source of motivation and optimism for me, particularly in times of financial difficulty.

    Can You Offer Micro Jobs To Unemployed Christian Youth?

    Hi All, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this. For a long time now, I have personally encountered and in some cases mentored many young Christians in my community in Nigeria who are unemployed, languishing in poverty, and increasingly desperate. Many of them have decent skills...

    Oh dear. Silly me!

    Is it rude to turn up at church early?

    It's never rude to arrive early. I'd say it is probably more rude to turn up late when the service is already in progress and distract everyone with your grand entry! Then again, it is never too early or too late to bring oneself into a sacred place of worship where God's presence endureth ad...

    What do you think about this lyric by Nas?

    I suppose he is implying that God loves the "hood" (colloquial description of stormy, crime-prone neighbourhoods in the United States) - in spite of their unfortunate lifestyle and possible participation in criminal activities. He uses the example of the "crook" next to Jesus on the cross to...

    Does open theism imply that God could ultimately lose the cosmic struggle?

    The suggestion - however academic it might be - that God could "lose" any struggle is absolutely implausible to me, and is not something I consider easy to debate about under any guise whatsoever. My sincere apologies to open theists, but I think their postulations about God's 'conditional...

    "Minimal" requirements to be a Christian?

    John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Knowing oneself to believe in Christ and the Gospel is all that is required to be a Christian. Christianity should not be reduced to a cult or closed group of some sort, where new...

    Do you believe that Jesus Christ will return in your lifetime??

    Signs of the end times have been unfolding gradually for generations. The way I see it, the build up to the return of Jesus Christ is in full swing. I prefer not to live my life with unrealistic anticipation of the 'event' of Christ's Second Coming. Since the Bible tells us that it will happen...

    Hello to My Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

    Thank you afishamongmany. I have been deeply engrossed in the increasingly difficult daily grind of eking out a living, and consequently haven't been able to participate actively in this forum. Life and work isn't easy in Nigeria at the moment, as the country is going through a recession -...
