    What really works for OCD

    I have OCD - it's quite mild currently although in the past I was severely tormented by thoughts about judgement, hell and certain sinful acts. I was looking through this forum and I saw some posts from well-meaning Christians who are unwittingly giving harmful advice. The wrong advice tends to...

    Struggling as the child of an autistic dad

    I love Jesus and my family deeply, as do both of my parents. However my dad has undiagnosed Asperger's and doesn't realise it. I don't remember a single time in my life when my dad has shown legitimate affection or understood that I experience real feelings that are different to the feelings...

    Board games forum

    I think that there should be a forum for the discussion of board games (and potentially for playing them too). Turns out there are more people on CF who like chess than I had expected.

    Comment on each other's weird music

    The idea of this thread is that you share weird music that you love and comment on stuff others have posted (unlike the other music sharing threads where there's no discussion). I'll go first:

    For people who believe homosexuality is not sin

    How do you respond to the argument that in the Bible marriage is a representation of the union between Christ and the Church and that Christ was before the Church as the man was before the woman in Genesis? I'm not trying to start an flame war but I'm interested in hearing both sides of the...

    OK not to listen to worship music?

    I don't listen to worship music, is that a problem? It just isn't to my taste, but to a lot of Christians worship music is an important part of their relationship with God. Am I missing out on a lot?

    First Epistle of Clement

    Can anybody who has read this shed light on whether this is a legitimate and important epistle? From what I've heard, it seems to be more reputable than most of the other New Testament apocrypha.

    What are criteria for choosing the right person?

    I mean other than loving Jesus and having shared goals. How do you actually decide between different people? I would guess that a lot of people claiming to have found "the right person" just went for the first eligible person that came along. I'm also not sure what "compatibility" is - surely...

    Struggling to cope with ADHD

    I'm 18 and I'm fairly certain I've had ADHD my entire life. I'm now on the waiting list for diagnosis, but I still have 8 months to go :/ It's caused me a huge amount of frustration, and likewise for my parents (at least I think). I've always been blessed by God with the gift of intelligence...

    Speaking in tongues

    1 Corinthians 12:30 asks the question "Do all speak in tongues?" implying that this is not and should not be true. However, in Acts salvation was always followed by the newly saved being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues (and the Bible contains the exhortation "Be filled with...

    Any other atonal/serial music fans?

    I've never met anyone else in real life who listens to the same type of music I listen to. It's pretty demoralising hearing how often people trash this style of music, so it would be encouraging if there are other Christians who also enjoy atonal and avant-garde/experimental music. My favourite...

    Any other chess lovers?

    I love learning about chess - I've finished going through Nimzowitsch's My System and my current reading list consists of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, Chess Praxis and Zurich 1953. Anyone else love reading chess books? What are your favourites?

    Hello there!

    Hi everyone! I'm an 18 year old follower of Jesus. My favourite Bible passages currently are Romans 8 and Psalm 103. I love the game of chess and I'm a huge fan of atonal music and modern art. I'm joining to check up on how other Christians from around the world are doing! My current listening
