• 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.

hello everyone, my name is Marlow. I normally post on a very busy Christian discussion forum which is unfortunately out of action at the moment, so I've been casting around for alternatives and I came up with this one.

I'm still exploring the forum and its extent. It seems strange and bewildering at present, but I hope I'll get used to it. I don't even know what sort of forum it is at present, e.g. is it a strictly 'fundamentalist' forum where one is not allowed tro question accepted dogma, or is it an open-minded one where one can (politely) express original opinions about received Christian ideas and doctrine? I suppose I shall find out as I explore. If it's the former, then I probably shan't be around much! I have no use for labels and try to approach everything in an open-minded way; for me Christianity is about possibilities.

I'd better warn you that although my spelling is immaculate my typing is appalling, so please be patient!

Hi Marlow! :wave:
I think you are going to enjoy it here. There are many people here with many different beliefs and backgrounds. Some people are more openminded than others. Everyone shares what they believe is true.
You'll get use to everything as you look around.

In Christ,
Awana Girl
