• 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

Why no Rock forum?

well my dad was strongly against rock music(any music that the beat dominated the harmony). So i have heard all the arguments against rock music but the problem is its not scriptural. And there-for since this is a forum for all Christians they should have the forum!!! One of my favorite things in life is heavy metal....

Contemporary music has a broad range of genres, including ultra-mild middle-of-the-road, light pop/soft rock, "bubblegum" pop, rap/hip-hop, pop or rock with hints of jazz, blues, or even country influences, R&B/soul/urban, rock with a "retro" sound, alternative, and modern rock, which means rock scratches the surface of what contemporary music covers style-wise. Even some progressive Southern Gospel (such as the Crabbs, Lauren Talley, and David Phelps) can qualify in the MOR/light pop end of the genre and are very much as contemporary as Amy Grant or Twila Paris who are clearly labeled "CCM".

So they probably had this forum here as a general forum to discuss any type of Christian music in contemporary styles, including metal/hard rock.

Myself, I consider myself extremely versatile in my musical tastes, but personally metal does nothing for me. Just my opinion.
