  • 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

Hi all- my first time here

Hi everyone:

I am from a Chinese church from Sydney... How are you all? Doing great in ministry work at church? I don't know if I am .... lately there are people kind of commenting badly about the fellowship that I am in.... What do you say about that? I mean... God does use others to tell us things, right? If those people are commenting so badly about the fellowship, should we feel worried, and concerned? What should I be doing for now????

Very concerned

Hallo and welcome to Christian Forums Ameli! We trust that you'll have a good time here and look forward to catching you 'round the forums.

Though I don't know the exact details of your relationships, or know your friends and the people you associate with well, it is a good idea to be wise about who you fellowship with.

Happy posting!
God Bless!

Wecome to the forums.  Hope you enjoy it here.

As far as people making comments about the fellowship you are in; the only advice I can give is to see if what is going on in the fellowship lines up with the word of God.  If they are teaching things outside the word of God, maybe people have a valid point.  Also do alot of praying.  It is true that sometimes God sends people our way to show us things.  At the same time, the enemy will send people our way to try to lead away from good godly fellowship.

Welcome! :wave: Hope you enjoy your time here. HesmyAll had some very good points about checking out where you worship! It's not important what your friends say, but what God says. His opinion is the one that needs to count the most.
