  • 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 guys,

not long ago i was a terrible excuse for a human being. I used to drink too much alcohol, do drugs, i had on occasions been violent towards the people i loved too.

However since becoming a Christian i have put this bad behaviour behind me and now i'd like to make more Christian friends who can help keep me away from the troublesome tempting influences from my past...

Anyone have any tips for where i could head on this forum if i want to meet some people like me who have just become Christians?

:wave:

Hello, :wave:

Welcome to Christian Forums! :hug: I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.

I would also recommend that you check out the Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. CF is currently undergoing a major update, and blessings do not currently play as big of a role as they normally would. When everything gets back to normal, you will be able to use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar (Quick Links > Edit Avatar > Living Avatars), editing your signature or permanently changing your font.

The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings.

If you would like to start earning extra blessings now, you may participate in my game:
––––•(-• Newbie Dress-Up Game II •-)•––––

Earn 20 blessings per post (minimum 25 posts required) in the BE game sponsored by littleredkiss484:
Christmas in July Party

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message!!
