  • 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 take it your parents must not be christians.

if they do insult you and abuse you because of christ, it is persecution in christ.

if it is because of your illness, then your parents should be ashamed.

don't ever give up on Jesus. here's what paul said:

2 cor. 1:5
romans 8:18
phil 1:29, 3:8

i hope this helps. keep fighting and persevering.

True followers of Jesus won't make you feel worse, but you'll be hard-pressed to find them.
Find a natural doctor that knows about enzymes, minerals and vitamins.
The cause of almost all illness is the depletion of these nutrients and/or the introduction of mercury,sodium fluoride and chlorine to your body/water/diet;
thus some relief can almost always be found naturally, if you know to look for it. email doesn't always if ever get through but try if you like.

It must be very painful for you that your own parents to that; But remember, the God who is, the Lord of Lords, And the Ancient of days is with you.
You can;t do this alone; look for the help of god:
"Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim naything for ourselves, but our competence comes form God." 2 Corinthians 3:4-5

God's Strength be with you brother(Or sister).

I also have a mental illness and you know what? it's been really hard, but only because I let it. when I completely trust Jesus and understand that HE is RIGHT HERE with me...there is no fear, only faith..peace..hope..and LOVE. and this is in my hardest times. I also get treated the same way by my parents, but that is because they just don't understand. they need Jesus in their lives, to not only help others in the truth and spirit, but also for their eternal salvation..I pray my family and yours get saved and know Jesus. as far as persecution goes, rejoice when you are persecuted, because so was Jesus, and He died and rose again!!! if you have Him as your Lord and Saviour, you will also rise from this. I believe your "illness" will improve. All things are possible with God. If we didn't have an "illness", I'm sure we'd be going through another test. God can heal us like anybody. But the answer is not getting healed and ignoring persecution, but about trusting Jesus Christ and living as He did on the earth. the LORD IS WITH YOU might warrior. He will lead you and guide you. He is the shepard and we are His flock. If you know Him, you hear His voice and follow. He will never let you down, just keep your ears and eyes opened. I believe when you do this, how can anything hinder you, whether people, persecution, illness, or even death. Just remember that He died,..........and ROSE AGAIN! He LIVES in YOU! Amen!
