• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.

I know technology is rapidly advancing, which can be both good or bad. After hanging out with my friend, it made me think about how often technology can take away from our focus on God and our focus on other people. Instead of appologizing to someone face to face, we send an appology via e-mail. So many things can occupy our time, such as cell phones, ringers, digital cameras, ipods, etc. It's a lot easier for people to lose sight of what's most important now than it used to be. I'm thankful for this website to help keep us on track! :clap:

me to, I think it is every more important to think not only from the heart and be aware of others, it is harder for people with dislexia for example and they may not know they have it, technology makes us more easyly misunderstood, we must become more forgiving of each other like god wants.

Oh yeah I'm very grateful for homes, water, electricity, etc. I just think that satan has possibly been using some of the latest gadgets to drive us away from God.. but I am very thankful for a lot of the technology we have today.

Technology serves for the benefit of mankind. Its all about wether this technology is inspired by Satan or by God , the benefits of the internet outcast the negatives by a factor * infinite billion.

Why not scold them? I mean they are really killing people, and murdering eachother Soldiers and militairy people, and those who countries to whom we sell our technologically advanced weapons to , to murder and produce genocide amongst the local civilians.

This is what Jesus meant with the ant gets zifted, but you are letting the elephants pass.

You know i think its sad that you refer to internet as a deminishing technology. Rather look how many BILLIONS of dollars are wasted on creating militairy weapons to kill our brothers and sisters. Christians who walk around with guns owning them and shooting other human beings for whatever rediculous justification they give themselves to allow to play God.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to scold anyone, I was just trying to say what you said in the first line and a little bit of the second about technology being inspired by God or satan. I don't like all the weapons and the guns and stuff either and as far as the internet goes there are bad things on it but it's also used to good purposes too such as this:)

Sorry about the confusion

im sure that god is revealing the new technology to us not satan, and it will be used acording to the bible, an object is only an object, its for our leaders as to wheather they use them or not and that will be up to them as to wheather which side they are on, thats why chosing our leaders is very important though I think god is even in control of that in ways gifting them and revelation, bringing them along, perhalps even more that they might let on to us. we must trust them. the bibles says not to fear.
