• 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.

Everything your spouse wants should automatically be consented to by the other?

That would be a great marriage.
No. For example doing something against the clear teachings of God. In a Godly marriage it is not secular rules that have prominence.

On the issue of God and hell, and relatives unsaved...it is off topic here, so I started a thread.

Out of curiosity, does a "godly marriage" require a wedding?

Maybe this has something to do with why Christians have higher divorce rates than non-believers.

I heard that polls call all sorts of non believers Christians. I would take that with a grain of salt. At least they have some incentive to try...whether they succeed or not is another matter.

Some Muslims consider the Bush wars wars like the crusades! In other words thay consider the US more or less as a Christian army. That is about as silly as your poll.

The point made before was that in a union of believers, to violate basic rules laid down for the contract of marriage does not come without consequences. There are some basic elements of aNot just being violent either.

Evidence? of Adam and Eve's marriage?

You guys can't find evidence of 2,000,000 Jews in a desert if we gave you their itinerary.

For the record, Adam & Eve's marriage ceremony is recorded in Genesis 2.

Including the chapel God especially built for them.

I can find evidence of 2,000,000 Jews in the desert right now.

I was not aware of any marriage ceremony (in any religion) that includes cutting open the groom and making him a wife from his rib.

Ok. I would think the main thing is to unite before God...no? Paperwork is fine too, comes in handy. But let's face it, it isn't the paper that matters all that much...or wedding party.

Color me shocked, I agree with you. No ceremony is necessary. Nor is any given in Genesis 2.

Finding them would validate the bible, I have told you this. The fact that we don't HURTS YOUR POSITION, not ours. Plus, there is a good chance that even if that many people were traveling, most if not all of their bodies could have decayed or been cremated.

I don't know if the law of averages really applies, but sure, no two people can disagree on everything.
Bingo. In fact I probably agree with unbelievers on most things. It is the important things that really matter where we diverge.

True that, although why people agree will often be different. Aman777 and I agreed that there isn't an objective morality, he finds biblical support in that view and I find just what I observe in human behavior to support that sentiment.

Some twisting scripture that happens to fit an opinion. OK.
