• 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.

  • 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

Dear Knowledge3. God created us in His image, God made us good. When the Serpent tempted, Man believed his lies, and disobeyed God`s loving warning. We were banned to Earth, and instead of repenting, we moved farther and farther away from God, we grew more selfish and became the temptor`s easy victims. In time Jesus Christ came, He paid the debt we owed to God`s Holy Law, He died that we might live, He reconciled us to God. To return again to our original home with God, we MUST repent, exchange our selfish and wilful natures, into loving and caring ones, love God first, with all our being, and love others, as we love ourselves. ( Treat all we know, or meet, as we would like others to treat us) God is Love, to return to our Heavenly Father, we must love as He loves, selflessly and with true benevolence. We have years to learn this, as well as saying NO to temptation. We have a loving and forgiving God, and Jesus taught us to pray, " Forgive us, as we forgive others." To live eternally with God and our Christian brothers and sisters, we must become as loving and caring as Jesus showed us to, and loving and loyal to our Creator-God. Jesus is our Saviour, He is waiting lovingly and patiently to lead us back to where we came from. We have free will to return to God, or go our own way, away from God and His Love, to a place in outer darkness. I say this humbly and with assurance, Knowledge3, and send greetings. Emmy, sister in Christ.
