• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

god4ever, first of all, not every thought is sin. There is a difference between temptation and sin. In Hebrews 4:15 it says that Jesus was tempted as we are, yet did not sin. So temptation in itself is not a sin.

Okay, so maybe you did sin? The Bible says the moment you ask God to forgive you He forgives. Look at what the Word of God says,

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Notice it says ALL--all sin, even sin maybe you didn't realize was sin. "All" means everything.

There was a time in my life when I kept going to God again and again, asking for forgiveness. One night I heard the Lord say, "You are clean because I MADE YOU SO." Wow. I started thinking about that. Jesus' blood had cleansed me--He had done the cleaning. Was I saying that His blood was not good enough? No, if He did the cleaning then I was CLEAN.

You are clean too. Jesus has cleansed you.
