  • 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.

    Personal Act of Apology, Repentance, and Confession

    I have, without excuse or any degree of mitigation of guilt, wrongly accused CharasmaticLady of violating the third commandment. I assume full responsibility for this grievous offense. I humble myself in deepest apology to her and to God and the rest of the forum members, and pray that I might...

    No works, besides confession? You are worse than the anti-Christ, to a point

    Hi there, So just to put the point to you, to consider (consider this): if you have no works besides confession, you are worse than the anti-Christ, to a point. The other side to this argument is that if all you do is complain about the faith being worse, you are equal and greater to the false...

    Sharing Past Homosexual Sin to Future Wife?

    Hello. I'll do my best to keep this short and concise. I'm a 21 year old male and have been a believer for nearly 8 months now. Before that, I had been addicted to porn and engaged in immoral sexual activity. Although I am not proud of it now, the grace and love of God allows me to move...

    I Am Not Helpless

    I have allowed sin to control my life. For years, I've allowed very dark and ugly sins to hide behind a curtain of shame, guilt, and fear. But only when brought into the light can these sins be torn up from the root. So I am now going to wholly and completely confess to the things that I've...

    A Biblical Case For Repentance

    I believe the Sinner’s Prayer is just another way of the Bible saying to “Repent.” My Biblical Case For Repentance: Introduction: Please keep in mind that the word “repent” can carry multiple meanings in the King James Bible. When it refers to God, it often signifies His grief or His...

    Honest Confession

    Psalm 51 Introduction For the choir director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. David, a man after God’s own heart, who followed the Lord with all his heart, was still flesh and blood. He was still human, and he was tempted to sin as we...

    Confession in Christianity

    I believe Confession is something that is most of the time underrated. I mean, you have a pastor who is supposed to be your spiritual father but a lot of people prefer to reserve to themselves sins. This is problematic since it might lead to having a bad way of dealing with your problems and...

    Should Priests Report Serious Crimes Confided In Confession

    I was reading an article about Australia’s new law stating that Priests must report confessions of child sexual abuse to the authorities. The church leaders refuse to comply with the new law and I’m curious how people here feel about this situation. I believe the priests have taken an oath of...

    Confession And Prayer

    Hello everyone, I honestly didn't know where to put this, so I decided to release this here. Years ago, I was engaged to be married to an abusive man. We were both young and I made a mistake of losing my virginity to him. We later moved in together, the emotional, mental, verbal abuse...

    Was it a mortal sin? Or arousal? Plus another question

    I've been battling terrible sexual urges to...you know...touch and look at porn. It started after a horrifying incident when I was younger where I stumbled on an immoral image and could never stop thinking about it and soon it became an obsession. I have been slowly pulling away from these...

    A question for those who attend liturgical churches

    Do you ever get tired of saying the Lord's Prayer, one of the Creeds (Apostolic/Nicene), singing the Gloria (in some churches this occurs after reciting a creed), singing the Doxology (usually after the offering has been passed), "passing the peace", reciting a corporate confession of sin...

    *Catholics only* A long question about confession and canon law...

    Okay, I have a somewhat complicated question that I need help addressing, last fall I had to have my confession heard by a rather liberal religious priest. When I confessed my sins to this priest, I tried to confess the number of times to sin mortally, but he told me not to say the number of...

    Catholic prayer request: Blockages to confession!

    Guys, this has been happening quite a bit now, and I’m starting to get really concerned. I’ll fall into mortal sin and head to confession only to find it cancelled or postponed. I have sinned mortally, and am now at my more reverent and have just learned that the priest isn’t here. I’m going to...

    Confession Of Sin

    We read in 2 Samuel 11 a story about King David, who was regarded as a man after God’s own heart. One day David lusted after a woman named Bathsheba. From his roof he saw her bathing, and so he inquired about her. He found out who she was, and that she was married to Uriah, one of his soldiers...

    Is Illness Caused by Sin?

    I came across a statement the other day supposing that illness is a result of sin and when a person is healed it means they are forgiven of their sins. I can only guess at which scriptures the person has in mind to support his statement. Let's start with 1 Cor 11:30: "For this reason many among...

    Can't be around...

    As I mentioned earlier, I won't be able to go to Adoration and Confession today as I usually do. This morning things have taken a turn for the absolute worse, and I just, can't be around here today, maybe this evening but I find it unlikely. I may be back tomorrow... Farewell for now...

    I'm spiritually dead again!

    I've had an episode of mortal sin this morning! Please pray that I make it to confession tomorrow, and confess my sins well with compunction and perfect contrition for them. Needless to say, I don't want to be in a state of mortal sin while flying, and considering where I'm flying to, well, that...

    Being in a state of mortal sin sucks!

    Hey guys, I have another prayer request. I'm in a state in a state of mortal sin and confession isn't available until Thursday and, I just really need your prayers. Being in a state of mortal sin really sucks! I don't know if it's the loss of grace or just the loss of peace, but I'm really...
