  • 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.

    Why am I here?

    Hello, I am writing this when I should be in church, but don't feel church is helping my faith. I cannot see God in my life and so wanted the opportunity to listen and to discuss.

    Confused on what to think with this dream

    To give some hindsight on my faith and past; I grew up in the church but have never really "known" God intimately, my faith is literally the size of a mustard seed right now and I'm fighting hard against my past and still current oppression that's blowing out the flame every second. Around...

    "The Bible is just a collection of borrowed stories"

    Confusion. Love? Or just a snake waiting in my boot?

    So recently I went to the United Kingdom with a group. There I met a girl who at first glance, she seemed like a normal girl. I was definitely interested in her based on looks. No doubt about it that this blue eyed blonde was absolutely gorgeous. But there were certain factors that made me...

    On the verge of giving up

    I don't really know what to say other than I'm about to give up on God because I feel he has not chosen me and I'm not good enough for him. No matter what scriptures I read and no matter what people tell me, for some reason it doesn't change my mind. I have kind of accepted the fact that I will...

    It's been a year now since I confronted my wife about her affair and her initial response was that she didn't want to be married. She said the marriage felt more like a friendship than a marriage and I told her that's no reason to get divorced that's something we can work on, especially...
