• 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.

  • 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 hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We all know that circumstances change with time. But we also know that the basic "instincts" of man never change. Yet, it is fact that humans change psychically according to their circumstances. My question is, can it be that circumstances influence our human minds so much they change (or destroy) basic "(God)given laws" of thinking and acting?
An example: In ancient times, it was absolutely unthinkable to present advertisement of (half-)naked models in public places. Today there are such commercials every 20 meters. Circumstances have changed from conservative to liberal and caused us become more open-minded toward tabu's and no-no's. Yet, we have conformed ourselves so much to those circumstance that we are not even aware of them anymore. Is this mere blindness and suppression of our God given moral, or has this moral VANISHED - due to the influence of the changing circumstances?
