  • 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.

    Confusing aspects of dating a European girl

    Please don't judge me to be a homophobe, I certainly am not. Even so, I think I’m completely losing all feelings for a girl after she told me she was questioning her sexuality, maybe even a bit emasculated too. Please excuse any ignorance towards lgbt in this post from being raised in a very...

    Searching for the "One"

    This has been an interesting year for all of us. Christian fellowship is hard to find now, especially depending on where you live (referring to the United States in particular). With this pandemic raging on, I have a question for all of you. Is there "the One" out there somewhere? I will...

    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...

    Are Christian women easier to talk to?

    I’m in my twenties and never approached a girl in my life and obviously never kissed a girl either. I’ve no self confidence and so I always worried about a girl laughing at me if I tried to speak to her. If that happened I don’t think I’d ever try again. Are Christian women generally more...
