  • 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.

Hi everyone! I'm Christine, and I'm new here (obviously, hehe). I'm 23, and I first started investigating Christianity when I was 18 and in my first year of university. However, I have had a lot of bad experiences with Christians and it's driven me somewhat away from the whole thing.

I'd really like to return, get to know God, maybe truly accept Jesus into my life. But I'm finding myself really wary of the same thing that happened before happening again. I'm sure I was not without fault too, but it was a very difficult and lonely part of my life and I'd like not to repeat it if possible. :(

Anyway, I didn't mean for that to be as depressing as it was! I'm really just here to hopefully make some friends and learn quite a bit about Christianity. Looking forward to meeting everyone! :3

Welcome here friend. I just happen to know of some Christians gathered in a small assembly near Niagra Falls - USA (Middleport, NY I think). It is non-denominated and holds only to the Word of God. Let me know if such a fellowship would interest you.

Hi there Christine and welcome to CF!!!

I hope you find your time on here useful...there's plenty to get stuck into and lots of support if you need it!

I pray that you will be strengthened while you seek to come close to the Lord and he will bless you in your journey with him.

AllOrNothing, I've mainly had issues with feeling very judged and like I'm an outsider with a lot of Christians because I'm more socially liberal than most I've met. For a while I was letting that dictate my relationship with God because I was linking His acceptance of me with other Christians' acceptance of me. I'm trying to stop thinking like that now, though. :)
