  • 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

    disallusioned about sex and waiting for marriage...

    So OP, it was interesting to see your journey including the unfortunate events which occured. Glad to see you're still set on waiting. Was also nice to see even though events may have occurred, you still see past the physical aspects of the lady you like/love and are willing to dismiss them...

    who here has/wants children

    <: ) I see what you mean; there's never been a bad patch you haven't overcome right? You'll come out of it soon, keeping talking to God about it. Keep looking over Psalms 37:4-5 and especially Isaiah 40:31 Perhaps right now, he's just really trying to build you up...in terms of faith (the...

    who here has/wants children

    I used to think that, cause of the way things are going... But as Christians, we can think of it as trying to raise children to be the salt of the earth. Imagine if all Christian couples thought "nah the world's not doing too good" then we'd really be in trouble with that generation! D:

    How can I change this mentality (for virgin)?

    @ PetLuv, the "gut instinct" is a good point. For example there have been times he hasn't been very honest, and it made me wonder things...but I felt I should be more trusting and less paranoid. But then low and behold, found out about his dishonesty. I wouldn't like to be married and feeling...

    How can I change this mentality (for virgin)?

    @SH89 I agree on your statement: "However, realistically speaking, there are few people who are virgins before their wedding night. So you may be missing out on many godly, nice people by holding this expectation as a standard(but if it's important to you--by all means keep it)." That's what...

    How can I change this mentality (for virgin)?

    @ "hidinginthelight". Mm, I'd feel a little awkward...but I guess you're right communication is key. I don't know how to word it in a way that doesn't offend him, as I don't think he's that proud of his past anymore. But if things seem to head in the deeper relationship direction, it'd be good...

    How can I change this mentality (for virgin)?

    I'm a female and in my early twenties. I've saved myself for marriage and was just having a bit of difficulties with my perception of a mate. I really had hoped that I'd marry another virgin, but I know in my surroundings and being of an ethnic minority, I don't really have a great choice of...
