  • 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

What's going on around here?

People proclaiming to be Christians are creating posts that deny Christ's divinity.

People are creating posts that make Chrisitanity seem creepy and evil.

People are saying that salvation doesn't come from faith in Christ, but through doing good deeds.

What in the world?

Are we under attack?
 
Hi Lambslove,

Yes, I believe that there seems to be some "turmoil" within certain areas of the board. As a result of "viewing" other area's posts, (which I do each and everytime I come here) I find myself "only" posting in the Edification area as this seems to be one of two true "loving christian" area's at the present time. The only other area on the board that I feel at "peace" is the Ministry area (I have yet to participate in there however, to me it seems like a "safe" zone.) We may be witnessing the Days of Apostasy.
(I could and would go into a little more detail however, this is not the appropriate place, at the present time)

I will offer a prayer:

I pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus asking that You set the captives free and that You pour out Your Spirit upon all of us here on this forum. I pray that Jesus will come into the many people's live and especially those involved with the sins of the flesh. Please break the sins of pride, and selfishness, and all the dark forces that threaten those coming here, all the dark forces that are oppressing the people and making them miserable. Lift them up Lord, heal them, heal us, heal this world Father in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Stop the hurting and insensitive words on this forum Lord that stalk it by night and day, shatter the yokes of slavery and bondage, making this forum whole again. Not only this forum Lord, touch each individual in their hearts, help them all to become whole again. Father please come against all powers, principalities, and spiritual wickedness in this place, and all evil spirits. I pray all of these things in Jesus Name. Amen ..

And Lord, I pray for those who come here to "teach us a lesson" or to spread their own religion, that you would use CF to plant the seeds of faith in You in their lives. Don't let anyone go away from here without coming to faith in You.

Father I am standing in full agreement with this prayer.

Amen, I am one person who quit posting anywhere except The prayer, advice, & praise reports. I just got so sick of reading posts that questioned every thing about God. They come on and don't look for answers but only look for confrontation. I tell you the enemy is among us, and you must be able to idenify them. I believe in praying for the lost, but I don't believe in arguing with them. We know the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, and theirs, the only difference is we are grateful, and accept the free gift of salvation. Free to us, but not free to him, he paid the ultimate price. Some people will deny him till the end. I praise him, and give him thanks for loving me enough to die for me. Praise God

I don't mind the posts that have honest questions about God, but lately there have been anumber of posts in the "Christians Only" areas that ascert unorthodoxies about Christ, like "he isn't really God" and such. I'm really concerned because I see some of the younger Christians falling for the bunk.

Let's especially pray for the young Christians and the deceived/deceiving posters!

Don't take this as truth and don't think I'm applying this to everyone who just came here...I'm not sure if this is happening at all, but I'm wondering if some of the "newbies" are atheists pretending to be Christians. They say they're Christians but speak blasphemies so they can confuse the real, sincere Christians.

If that is the case, then that is just plain sick. :angry:

I have not been here long enough to feel like the forums are becoming less than glorifying to Him. I do agree that it is our responsibility as christians to lift up one another if we are not doing this then I ask God for His forgiveness. Sometimes in an effort to make a point we may tend to come across as something other than Christ-like. Lord, please help us all to use this forum in the way you intend for us to do.

hmmmm..so i guess I'm not the only one staying away from the theology and apolgetics rooms.
personally i stay in edification. I found the discussions in other places to be fruitless, and generally unproductive ( this is especially true concering escatology).
