  • 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.

    Recollecting memories from the past, is it a sin?

    So I've been raised a Christian and fallen off the path a one point in my life. Now, I genuinely live my life for the Lord and the advancement of the kingdom of heaven. But I have this nagging question that keeps coming back. Sometimes as I recollect over my past, I end up thinking of sexual...

    Is it a sin to not want to die?

    Is it a sin to want to stay here, with your family? I want to go to Heaven with Jesus someday, though, but I like my life.

    Obedience to God

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, I always use Romans 3:28 to assert my belief that no Christian can or ever will be justified before God by the works of the law (good works, etc.). Although I truly believe I am saved by the blood of Christ and not by works...

    Did Satan retain his Physical Beauty after sinning?

    The book of Ezekiel describes the angel Lucifer as beautiful. Yet he is depicted traditionally as hideous. Did he indeed lose his physical beauty after sin? If indeed so, what scriptural evidence can you provide to support that concept?

    Hidden Errors

    Sunday, October 16, 2016, 10:00 a.m. The Bed Bugs Following the writing from this morning, “Confession,” the Lord Jesus has been giving me some additional insights into the reason for the bed bugs, but also what they symbolically represent in all of our lives. I believe that bed bugs...

    Anxiety

    I need someone to pray for me and talk to me. I feel like I have sinned so much, and can hardly feel anything anymore. I don't want to be cut off but I have sinned knowingly (Hebrews 10:26-31), I haven't guarded my tongue as much and feel like I've abused God's grace by counting on forgiveness...

    Seeking Godly Advice!

    Hello, I am seeking Godly advice for my situation; it's been a long rough battle, and I'm afraid I don't know what to do. This is probably best for mature experience Christians, although I welcome all answers. Almost a year ago, I made a false profession of faith; not truly understanding what...

    I'm in bondage and can't escape

    I need prayer. I can't confess this sin to my bible friends because it's too personal. I touch and fantasize about having sex with a man daily. I'm a woman who's never really had sex and is unmarried. I want a husband but I don't think I'm going to get one. I just can't let anyone in...

    Relating to Jesus

    How can Jesus relate to us poor sinners if he never sinned. He was only tempted at every point (Even tempted to Rape? Murder? Steal? Lie? What about Molesting children? Was he tempted into that, what about eating Human flesh? That's another sin he would have to be tempted in) But temptation is...

    Do I need to remove my tattoo?

    A little over a year ago, I got a tattoo on my upper arm. It is two nails in the shape of a cross with the Jesus fish symbol wrapping around it in blood. I had a clear conscience at the time, but after a while started to question whether or not it was wrong to get the tattoo. My dad, a very...

    Is it possible to reject God (ex. turn to witchcraft) & lose salvation or "once saved always saved"?

    If you are religious at all I would really appreciate your opinion on this, as I have gotten into a disagreement over this and I want to see what other people think. Imagine that someone has come to God, accepted that Jesus died for their sins and has been saved. Is it then possible for them to...

    Have I Blasphemed The Holy Spirit

    Long story short... I struggle with OCD, and I have always been very prone to suggestion my entire life. When I found out about the unforgivable sin, I was immediately worried I might accidentally commit it on accident. Just earlier today though, I was just relaxing with some friends. I have...

    The Fall From Grace involved just the Eating Fruit?

    That is a statement that was recently made in a discussion concerning the importance of accepting the Genesis account as actual historical fact. I think that the following reply is very important in furthering a Christian understanding of the issues that emerged in during that Edenic event...

    Where to buy/listen music?

    I´ve been downloading music for free since I have internet connection and I never thought about in in that way (it was only for personal use). Since I heared about downloading being a sin I started to feel bad when I was doing it. I talked about it with my friends and family and they didn´t...

    Going to Hell

    I have a problem. I am very scared about going to hell. I think about it all the time. I pray a lot, and have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, that He died for my sins, so I should feel that I am going to heaven. But I keep messing up. Everyday I get impatient, I use bad language, and...
