• 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.

My name is Samantha, I like to be called Sam. I accepted Christ into my life on December 31 2014 and received water baptism on June 28 2015. I am still learning a lot of things and seek guidance.

I grew up in a cult (christian science) and feel that I did not get to learn a lot of biblical truths as a child/teenager. This is why I feel like I still need a lot of guidance.

I also hope to make many Christian friends! :)

Sam - welcome to the Forums! It is exciting that you have recently come to the Truth from the christian science cult.

I would STRONGLY encourage you to get a book by Dr Derek Prince called "Foundational Truths for Christian Living." It goes over basic christian doctrine - something we all need to understand well. He was a very intelligent man and probably the best bible teacher of the 20th century. Keep your bible handy as he uses a LOT of scripture. It will help set your spiritual feet on the right path.
