  • 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.

    Terminal illness

    Hi all, a volunteer where I work told me this week that their ex partner's Mum, her children's Nan, has quite unexpectedly just been diagnosed with an illness and is, incredibly sadly, expected to live for around just one more week. Prayer around this would be really appreciated - that she will...

    Evil is so present within me

    Hello. I am feeling desperate, I don't know what to do. I don't want to sound crazy. I came here with the hopes that those with open minds will see my case. Nobody I know has faith/belief in much of anything so I don't have many places I can talk about this. My best friend who is a Christian is...

    Lonely

    Hey all. This year is the first year I've lived alone (almost a year now, anyway). I was fortunate to find a church that felt like a family away from home, but due to some theological differences creating an impasse (can't take communion without being a member, and I don't feel comfortable being...

    New cat owner; could use some tips

    Hi everyone! So yesterday I took the plunge and got a cat from a shelter. She's an adorable little 11 lb grey and white short hair they named Anastasia, and was very sweet and friendly at the shelter. Predictably, though, since getting her home she has been very scared and stressed. She had...

    (Edited) Hi and thank your for reading this. I’m married and when I went to court to get married with him, my husband told me he was divorced, this marriage was not an actual marriage (he married his friend do do her a favor, as she had helped him in the past so he returned the favor)… I...

    I have decided that I want to convert to Christianity

    Hello, I'm still young but I have been seeking for a religion almost my entire life. Until I was probably 11 or 12 I was a hardcore bonafide fedora-wearing Atheist. It's just because I was an ignorant immature kid. Then, I was super into Buddhism, trying to practice it in my everyday life; but...

    How to overcome loneliness?

    I moved to a new state a few months ago for work. My family is over 1000 miles away. I have no boyfriend, I didn't have any friends here, I was completely on my own. I started going to a church right when I got here, and I've made friends there. But they're more like acquaintances; overall I...

    Is it a sin to write romance?

    This is about writing romance into stories, not reading romance novels. I'm currently working on a science fiction story, where the two main characters are married. There's no smut or anything, their romance isn't what drives the story (but the fact that they want to escape a situation they're...

    Should I keep giving him money?

    Hello brothers and sisters of Christ! I have a question. There is this guy that shows up at church every Sunday and Wednesday. He always asks for money. He’s not homeless. But he is older and doesn’t have a job. He can still get around though. I’m pretty sure he walks to the other church all the...

    I need advice from some Christians.

    About a year ago I was raped. If I choose to press charges I should do so soon because my rape kit will be thrown away after a year. Is it wrong to press charges? My family thinks that I should, but I'm honestly very scared nothing will come from it. I signed up for this website to learn...
