  • 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.

    How far is too far?

    ok take oral sex for example. give someone the option between oral sex and intercourse they'll choose intercourse. so then oral looses its meaning as intercourse over shadows it. its like drinking coke or dike coke

    How far is too far?

    yes but i have done stuff (not sex) with previous gf's b4 and it doesn't compare now to when i'm with my current gf because i love her so much more. so you saying that it looses its value if you don't give it away to your wife is not nessicarily right as it'll be different between different...

    Sexual Ethics

    Belle i think our bibles disagree lol. my version seems to think Hebrews 13 says: "Marriage is to be honoured by all and husbands and wives must stay faithful" - still nothing saying that fornication is wrong. and the others don't seem to match up either
