• 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.

It makes no sense to me to believe that any of us have more power than God. How is it possible that a person's mental handicap can prevent God from reaching that person, or from God accepting that person?

Hey, if you don't accept Christ, then you don't accept Christ.



You may not accept Christ... but that can't possibly stop Christ from accepting you. ;)

I dont know if this is the right place to put this. But I was wondering, you know how most Christians believe that the only way to the Father is through Christ. Lets say someone was mentally challenged to the point they do not know, "what is going on", or are unable function like non mentally challenged people. How are they supposed to accept Christ?
This was looked into and studied on an episode of South Park when they were worried about Timmy.

Dear ILoveIsrael, you had very good replies, and the Bible tells, God will make provision for all, who are unable to. And if I might point out too, All Christians, not some Christians, do believe Jesus is the only way back to God. God loves us, and He has proved again and again, how very much, and how He is waiting for us to repent, and become perfect, as He is perfect. I say this humbly and kindly, ILoveIsrael, and send greetings. Emmy, sister in Christ.
