• 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

welcome Zec =)
Well the good thing is that you don't have to continually post in 1 area - there's lots of areas around here, you can stop in or sit out whenever.
Eventually there will be some threads you'de like to add your opinions or info on :)

Since Angel's thread went to crap jes bout entirely, le's try an answer the original question she had.

How many conservative Christians remain since all the swap's an disaster that has befallen cf?

If at all possible, could we *try* an keep this one on track so's not to have a complete disaster?


There are good and bad in every crowd. As Jesus showed us in his farmer and the enemy parable " Let the wheat grow with the tares" then when harvest time comes there will be a separation of the grains. You know there are those that are still growing as well and still following ways that are not of Christ. Also many, including me, have a hard time telling who is truly following the Lord and who is just putting on a show. Finally many get confused and don't know what to do when the pressure is on. That is how we get so out of whack in regards to healing the wounded.

On the other hand there are those that are understanding, kind, and helpful as well. In the end God is in control and gives us what we need when we need it. As God stated " I will send you showers of blessings just when you need them" That is a promise you can count on because I have seen it played out time and time again. Of course sometimes it seems as if this blessing comes too late but upon retrospect it never has. For me the bottom line is that God knows what He is doing, He is in control and I trust Him no matter what may happen in this life or where it may come from.

If anyone would have told me a year ago that I would now consider myself a conservative Christian, I would have given them a tongue lashing but ya know what? I....I.....I think I am! I believe that the Bible is God's word and instruction to us, I don't pick and choose what parts I believe in and I cannot abide by twisting what it says to fit whatever the popular definition is of the current society so I think that may very well make me a conservative Christian! Go Figure! lol!

:hug: Nadiine, if it weren't for TCL and it's subforum and the Rep-A-Holics subforum, I have to wonder if I'd really be posting at CF. Then I remember that you're here and go "oh yeah, that's why I keep coming back to this place." ^_^

Hi everyone.:) It's good to see so many familiar names and old friends all in one thread.:)

I rarely come to CF anymore. I came by today to read what folks were saying about Sarah Palin, when I saw this thread.

This will probably be my only post......just wanted to say hello and God bless.:hug:
