• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I just wanted to say hello and say that I am grateful to find a place where I can ask questions as I am definately a "seeker" at this point in my life...and really the whole of my life has been consumed with looking for God in one place or another.
Years ago I attended Baptist and Assembly of God Churches and was a born again christian..while I loved the Lord certain things about Fundamentalism really turned me off and I became very disillusioned with Christianity. I wont bore you with the whole story, but I left the church, found Paganism and lived that life for the last 8 years or so...I never really lost my love for Jesus and recently started reading about the Christian Gnostics and find them fascinating.
I am rethinking my spirituality...nothing has fulfilled me, yet I don't seem to be able to stop searching..I hope this is a place that can help me find what (or Who) I am looking for.
I look forward to meeting you all.

Welcome.

Searching is good..that is how we all came to Christ. I pray that He will open your eyes and heart to hear His truth. Ephesians 3: 14 - 21 as Paul prays for believers in his day I will pray for you.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. :prayer:

Never mind..I don't mean to be rude, but this place has so many rules about who can post what where..I just spent twenty minutes trying to ask an intelligent question and when I tried to post it I was told I hadn't posted enough yet..I will find another place.
Maybe you should just let people say whatever they want as long as they're respectful and don't try to convert others...just a suggestion.

This is the largest christian/Multi-Denom forum, "a perfect/tool", hehe!
