• 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.

Easy Question?

I think the only thing you can do is to try and get them to accept christ. It is up to the person wether or not they want to believe. If they do start believing then they can turn there life around. But just tell them about Jesus and his miracles.

Also make sure you know what you are talking about. You cannot spread the word of God with meaning if you don't read the Bible / pray.

Thats an awesome request you should seek God about. Its hard just to bring up the topic of God because many people become very defensive or pushed away. Isaiah would be a great book to read. It is an apocalyptic book that explains a lot about end times and what we as Christians have gained through Christ. 1 Samuel 12:20-25 is also an awesome passage. Hope this helps!

If I'm asked questions, I'll help them answer them or clarify something. I've never been really good at evangelizing though...partly because I'm not really that knowledgable.

I try to work with what I know though...but ultimately it's up to the person. Our job is to spread the word, that's really all we can do. Accepting Christ is something the individual has to make.

I used to think that wearing a crucifix was an easy way to get people to talk to you about faith, but I was wrong. I realize that God's the only one that can truely find people, but I asked myself this: If God has shown himself conclusively real to you, by speaking to you directly, what would you do? (you see, I'm a doubtful Christian at times, I have been since I was a kid) I answered that to myself with all kinds of heroic Christian acts and showing my joy to the world, but then another question flashes across my mind "...then why aren't you now?" This has happened to me twice, and it still kinda disturbs me.

So my answer to your question is this: "Alot more."
