• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

A new CF, an old vision

I am here every day too, for several hours each day, why would your opinion about what the majority thinks be any more accurate than mine?

It's certainly an effective way to reach them.
I am not talking about non-believers. I am talking about people that have backslidden after knowing the truth and create their own Christianity.

Obviously there is debate about no more Christians only section and whatnot.


There are those (such as myself) who do not like the fact that that will be no more. I do not like change.

Does this mean that I will tell a non-Christian that they're going to hell? No. Does this mean that I will leave the site because of this? Been thinking about it. Does this mean that I think myself better because I am Christian? No. Does this mean that there will be complete and utter chaos because of changes? I think so.

As individuals, we all have responsibility over our own posts. Keeping these posts on the straight and narrow will maintain the Christian values of the site. In my view, we do this and pray for discipleship to work through everyone else.

and Jesus knew who would follow Him, who would repent.
I am a sinner, but I am saved. Washed clean in the blood of the lamb.
No one is saying don't spend time with those who are not saved. Do it whenever you feel like it. have you or are you just one of those types who say, but do not do?
I serve God, just as the Holy Spirit guides me.
But we who have private sanctuaries would have liked to keep them that way.

We are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
What does light have in common with darkness?

The non-Christians won't be a part of the Christian section.

I think what I said still applies. Do you think shunning them will convince them of your point?

Not for much longer, most likely. Happy Birthday.
Did CF just become seeker-friendly? It now exists for the world at large instead of for Christians? Has it gone the way of the evangelical church in this country? I hope not.

!!! LISTEN !!!



This is a time of flux. A time of passion.

Please. Try not to say something you'll regret in the morning.

Please. Try not to hold something against a friend that was said in the heat of the moment.

Yes, air your griefs, your jubilations. Just think first. Count to 10, and re-read your post before hitting submit.

They certainly are not, but they still are not allowed to vote in our churches.
This site isn't a church, it is a forum. The police in the US aren't all Christian, but we don't complain, (much). As long as they keep order, thats all that we expect of them, Christian or not.
