• 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.

Hi, I am a Messianic Jew from Israel. I dont know what is your relation or opinion about Israel, but I hope that you will be gracious to not offend me, my country or my people while responding.
So, I hope we will have a good time here talking and discussing and just getting to know other believers around the world.
May God bless you,

Naomi

I am happy to hear that you are pro-semitic here. Thank you for letting me feel welcomed here...:wave:

I would be also happy if someone could help me get started here, it is kinda compilcated here with all the rooms, than if someone can maybe recommend a room/forum or I dont know... I am just a bit confused...
And what's the deal with the "blessings", how do I get them and what are they for?
thanks...

:wave: Welcome, new friend...I do hope that you will like it here...I have recently joined, as well, and there seems to be something for everyone. It does take a while to find your way around, but I'm sure you'll catch on quickly. There is a
FAQ section at the top of the page that will answer most questions you may have.

Thank you Barbara!

I will look at it. I probably have the same questions as any other newbie has... I admit this is quite confusing, and after I wrote that last message, I was exploring a bit more on this website, and the more I investigated- the more I figured I dont know anything... A bit like with knowing God- the more you try to figure Him out, the more you see how you just can't...(Isaiah 55:8-9)

Be blessed...
