• 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.

I can have faith in an afterlife, but that doesn't stop me from secretly hoping (and believing, yet hoping to quench that belief) that there is nothing after this life. I do my best to have faith that there is something after this, something to do with heaven and hell and trusting Jesus, but yet, I wish all too often that there were nothing, and we didn't have to worry so much about converting others.

Your lack of faith is based on your limited mental abilities


I think you've taken liberties in interpretting my post to place yourself in the position of a victim.


You don't think calling someone stupid is an insult?Sometimes I tend to question the mental abilities of someone that can't seem to differentiate between reality and a hoped for fantasy.

Has anyone here been with someone as they died. I sat at my sisters side as her body shut down. I had no idea that after she died, I would experience the most beautiful peace, no one else in the room felt it. I felt her walk right through me and I know for a fact she was walking with Jesus. Such calmness, such beautiful peace. I was able to sign the papers and drive everyone home. This was not called shock, or anything like that.. It stayed with me for a long time, and I am so thankful for it.... I have no doubt that there is a heaven, that there is a God.

I believe there is nothing after death. Death is just a neverending, dreamless, sleep.

I believe in God - but I don't neccesarily believe He wants our company. :)
Why would you think He created you if He did not love you and want your company?
