• 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

Yes, sometimes there are those of us who are "Lone Rangers," if even for the moment. And we shouldn't be shunned or shunted by the rest of the Church for having our own reflective gifts.

Just keep in mind, though, SOL, that you're "in the Body of Christ" whether you sit at home or in the local church building pew and the 'bickering' you see on CF is an unfortunate but continuing expression of the historic splits between Christians that have taken place in the past several centuries.

It's not your fault; it's just the nature of human shortcomings within the societies of the world and among Christians.

And as Blaise Pascal once said, “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room
People don't see that the path is peace not contentions and its unity not divisions. They think they can be divided and untied at the same time but to me this is impossible. Divisions mean there is heresy as Paul said. I can't fellowship with heresy

Based on what you said, I meant logging out permanently. You seem to be caught up in a cycle of having a very negative experience with this, while simultaneously being obsessed with it to the tune of about 130 posts per day.
I will admit that I was posting too much. I was on high like I was filled with the Spirit. But when trouble came I didn't give myself time to rest and clear my mind. I over taxed myself I think. But I cant be around incessant debate anyway

True. Heresy is a problem, but the larger problem is a lack of love. So, I sympathize with you on those points.
