• 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

Thanks for the reminder. Yes I have heard it is bad. Also remember the Christians in Kathmandu, Nepal. The recent bombing of a catholic church there has made things difficult for the house churches. Landlords want to kick them out because they are fearing there property will get bombed.

I read somewhere that in India many pastors and priests are targeted not only for preaching the Gospel but also for specifically reaching out with the Good News to the untouchables- the dalits- who are treated like non-people by many of their fellow Hindus.

Jesus said that blessed are the poor and it's so awesome how so many dalits are rejecting Hinduism's lies about their inferiority and coming to salvation in Jesus, Who loves them unconditionally and died on the cross for their sins, also crucified by men who were high in power and living in riches.

God bless the pastors and priests who are reaching out to, evangelizing, standing up for the rights of, and being persecuted for defending India's untouchables. Their reward is great in Heaven.
