  • 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.

    Heard 'God' said that 'John' was my husband...texted him and he was very rude to me

    Hi, around two days ago, as I was dozing off, I heard, not audibly, but in my heart, God said 'you already know your husband.' So I shot him a few names and when I mentioned 'John' (not his real name) God said yes, it was John. I hadn't kept in touch with John for a year, but I do remember...

    The Marriage Permanence Doctrine

    This is a topic that I've touched on in comments in various places. I thought this would be a good place to address the Marriage Permanence Doctrine specifically. This teaching holds that for those that regard Jesus as their personal savior, there are no valid grounds for divorce other than...

    How to have patience while waiting for a possible proposal?

    A couple months ago I told my boyfriend I wanted to marry him, and... we haven't really had any talks that would count as "deliberately moving us closer to marriage." But I mean, it's only been 9 months of dating, and I had told him before that I wanted to wait a year before getting married...

    Willfully Ignorant of God's Righteousness

    Romans 10:1-3 ESV “Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to...

    One-Sided Relationships

    Video Talk Ephesians 4:32 NIV “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” In this video talk I make reference to a song sung by Whitney Houston. The song is titled, “I Have Nothing.” It is considered a romantic or a love song of sorts...

    I want to fight for my marriage...she doesn't.

    I have been a stay-at-home dad for the most part of the last 8 years for our 3 adopted kids. My wife has been the one working hard for the paycheck to support our family. For many years now I have had, what I now realize as, an addiction to shopping. Buying tools, electronics, etc... I would...

    Proposed options for life after divorce

    I hope I have posted in the correct area. I would really value a sounding board for some concepts I'm finding it difficult to discern.
