  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Premarital Counseling... That big a deal?

    I am kind of torn on this one. A lot of people who I have talked to and seen online bring up starting premarital counseling almost immediately after entering into a serious relationship. I know that I would like to do it, and of course not at the very last second, but I'm not sure when to...

    How to get a girlfriend when you have problems?

    Please help. I used to be very attracted to many women. When I was 16 my feelings for women seemed to die out of no where. I initially was concerned but was sure my feelings would come back. Five years on and no luck. My mental health really took a toll because of this. I see girls all the time...

    I have not defeated lustful addictions

    I am currently in Christian counseling for pornography addiction. I am trying to listen and read more biblical things. I cannot defeat this addiction or habit. I feel as if I just don't care enough to defeat it, yet I am regretful after the deed has been done. I don't understand, I don't...

    Is "Christian Counseling" really Christian?

    Is "Christian Counseling" really Christian? If psychological counseling is Christian then why has it only recently appeared (last 100 years or less)? And, why was it only discovered by atheist and then adapted for Christian use?
