  • 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.

    Is My Bible Study Group A Cult?

    I am a college freshman. I was approached by a really nice student a few months ago who was conducting a survey about how different Christians interpreted the Bible. She invited me to attend her Bible study, and I did. Their purpose in this Bible study is to not focus as much on what each...

    Tobacco use at church/on church grounds

    Hi Friends, Some one please tell me what I should do. I became a member of this church about a year ago now. Since then I’ve joined small groups, discovery classes and now serve as a volunteer on Sunday mornings in the children’s ministry. I enjoy the church, and the leaders seem to manage...

    How do I show my fiance that God is the answer to what he is seeking?

    I have been with my fiance for over four years now. To say it has been a bumpy road would be an understatement. He has dealt with a lot of mental struggles from *extreme* depression and anxiety and what some may even describe as a personality disorder. Many people question why I choose to stay...

    Hello! I'm very curious about this topic! Hey, so I'm pretty young in my (new) faith, considering becoming an ex-adventist after 18 years (I am 18) because now that I'm away from home, I have been reading the Bible for MYSELF and not listening to what people tell me like how it was in the past...

    Moving Back Home & Depression

    I started college like most of my high school peers did. I moved right out of the house, into the dorms, and into a very competitive premed major. I broke up with my high school boyfriend, I found a new college one, and lived how I thought most college students did. However, in this process, I...

    Feeling bad

    I told a lot of lies in the past and I have told my brother about this. I have told him about stories I made up and have been pretty clear. He asked me today if people really called me a particular nickname out of nowhere and I said yes they did (which was the truth) but then I said something...

    What should I do?

    Hi, when I was younger (13-15) I was living a life of sin. I was sinning so much and was not a Christian at the time. At the time, there was a great division in my family over a particular sin someone may have or may not committed. This caused a huge fight and to this day there is still...

    Faith As Small As A Mustard Seed

    I’m 24. Growing up I had great faith, believed in God wholeheartedly. Went to Catholic school until 2nd grade when we moved to a much smaller town without one. Until 2014 I would pray often and throughout the day. I loved God SO much and was very tender hearted when it came to Him. I don’t know...

    God put it on my heart to reach out to an old friend for their salvation

    Hi! Newish Christian here. Earlier this year, God put it on my heart in a really big way to reach out to a certain friend, for the purpose of them knowing God. This friend has good morals -- that's not why the friendship ended. The friendship ended because they cut off all their small group of...

    How to share Christ with an ex? (Help)

    I was in a relationship for a short period and it hit a point where we had the "friend talk". Since then we'd talked a little but steadily grew apart. That was about a year ago. Recently, I had felt like God wanted me to reach out to her and I prayed that God would give me specific/clear signs...

    A Deeper Walk or Judgmental?

    My biggest quandary is this: How does one read the word, learn the word and see clearly the instructions and desires of the Lord for our life and then actively pursue the continual growth in "getting there" while still being surrounded by others who are either not making any progress, not...
