  • 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.

    Can a Christian be a Freemason???

    The correlation between your response and quote is weak at best. I am glad this woman became a christian! I have heard that so did Jeffrey Dahlmer, and I have seen a documentary on David Burkawitz, (I make no claims of correct spelling,) as now being a very effective and pwerful preacher still...

    How can a person report on the latest "who's who" of Hollywood, and the deaths of tens of thousands of people in myranmar in the same breath and still have such a stoic face?! When are we going to understand that happiness can't be 'found', it's either in us, or it isn't, the only thing we...

    When Mr. Lewis wrote his books, did he mean for Peter and Prince Caspian to represent the early catholic and protestant churches, both arguing their own ways to fulfill Aslan's will, but both being wrong in that they were going about it in their own ways? Or, am I just reading too much into it...

    War..Peace, natural disasters, are the earth's magnetic poles switching? Are the evil mason's really going to usher in the antichrist? Or will it be the vatican? Of all the billions of planets in this universe, why are all the stars watching us?

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    my wife goes back and forth, one time she will say 'what does it matter, we're getting divorced anyway?' and the next she will say 'I love you and I just need to prove that by seeing if I have those kind of feelings for only you, I just have to prove to myself that that love isn't gone.'...

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    Now that's helpful! Someone with experience. I know it's a personal matter, but, if you are willing, could you tell me how you got caught? And more to the point, if you never got caught, would you have stopped or would you have gone on to leave him?

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    Good gravy! I came for help, for some kind of suport and direction in a time when nothing makes sense and all I can do is just hold on. And you give me a thrashing! If I wanted or even needed that, all I have to do is go to some secular counseling and hear how all men are sexist pigs...

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    I waited for someone to respond with an opposing veiw, and NOW you show up after I've declared my intent, telling me I'm some pompus 'holier than thou' hypocrite for wanting to be treated as an equal in my marriage?!!! If the table were turned she would have exposed me, left me, and ruined...

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    it does help. Just hearing (reading) that someone else is standing with me in this means more to me than all the advice. I am, however, going to take the advice, any action is better than none. I don't know why it takes someone else to validate my own feelings, but I know that I don't...

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    My next question would be: is the affair a result of her not wanting to go on with me in the ministry, or her not wanting to go on a result of the affair? It may also help to know that our youngest (19 months) was born preemie and has had serious complications his whole life. We believe in...

    she: I don't want to be a preacher's wife anymore. ???

    We've been married for nearly 6 years. We met at church camp! At the time when we first got married, I told her I was called to preach and would do my best to do so full-time when the time was right, (know for sure God is in it, financially able, thoroughly confident in my understanding of the...
