  • 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 don't need new theology, we need to show the love we've already been shown

    Hi there, So I struggled a lot with this: what should my stance be, what should my religion be, am I bringing glory to Jesus or not? What I learned was, that God takes what He has already created and does something amazing with it. How? He takes what has already known love (as part of a family...

    The remnant of God, will be preserved

    Hi there, Frequently we talk about the remnant being saved, in the Old Testament - but few realise that the remnant being saved, extends to the remnant of God. The just shall live by faith, this extends even to God - He must endure destruction, that is the destruction of His Power, to secure...

    Take it from experience: you don't want to just beat your psychosis, you want to tame it

    Hi there, So yes, a word of hope here: it is possible to tame your psychosis - in a manner of speaking. Initially, schizophrenia (for example) can be very wild and unchecked, but with proper self-care (meditation, diet, medication - to an extent - exercise), you can reach a point, where you...

    I need help please!

    I was eating dinner with my friend and I had intrusive thought attack about the Holy Spirit. And I was about to move my tongue out as was wearing a mask like microscopic inch and the thought was trying to make me say it but I stopped myself. And tried to change the word in my head to something...

    Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword: you are guilty if you *don't* want to fight someone!

    Hi there, So, this is just a short thought: Premise one: Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword (He said) Premise two: the truth condition of a sword, is given by the question "who is it against?" Premise three: Jesus' Word, is always true Conclusion: there is always someone, whom...

    Christians don't want to sin; the world doesn't want to be judged - see what's happening there?

    Hi there, So, yes, I have sort of started to warm, in my heart, towards Christians. I know it says "come on, love your brothers as well", but I had a hard time reconciling my own walk of faith, with the walk of others - the narrow path, seemed to lead me further afield than most Christians were...

    The Devil, wants abortion

    Hi, So just some personal testimony: I had a relationship where my partner drew me in, but as soon as they had had their desire, they turned on me and wanted to remove the possibility of a child - this confused me for a long time. Then, just seeing the thread "how can christians justify...

    I feel cheap; like I don't love enough - to justify something I don't understand

    Hi there, So my life has gone round the bender, trying to reconcile myself, with Evolution. It got to the point, where I was saying "Lord I will adapt, what you want me to adapt; I will do it, for those you want me to do it for; I will point to You" and it sort of seemed to make sense: I was no...

    It's going to be hotter than our souls can stand, but we will be delivered!

    Hi there, Praise: be to God, that though the end is destroyed in fire - yes, even fire so hot that our souls cannot stand it - yet we will be able to stand, for our faith is in Jesus and He will deliver those souls. The Big bang will look like a drop in the ocean, compared to the fire that is...

    If the only thing that changes over your lifetime, is an interpretation of God: what "Evolves"?

    Hi there, So, a simple question for you: if the only thing that you change over your lifetime, is your interpretation of God (let's say "one change"): what "Evolves"? What happens to my allele frequencies? Do they agree or disagree? The point being, it is objectively: one change. Not a series...

    7th episode: Collective dreaming (Holy Spirit directed) 22.08.20 - 20.09.20

    Hi there, So we had very few contributions last episode - I am on medication, so I couldn't really contribute myself - I am going to keep pressing on, though. The point is really simple: if the Holy Spirit was going to preach a sermon, to us as a group, what dream would He base it on? And...

    Prayers Please

    Hey everyone. I would love to be added to your prayer list(s) I am pregnant and off my antidepressants and it is not going well and am having trouble sleeping. I've been praying and pleading with God so hard with no relief. I cannot fast as I am borderline hypoglycemic. I appreciate the...

    Truth: You can not be resurrected, without being still.

    Hi there, So, yes, I have come across this learning, in my bearing forth with the Lord: Scripturally, this is evidenced by the truth that Jesus said "I am the resurrection", He did not say "I will be the resurrection" - as if to say, that it hinged on Him knowing something else or becoming...
