  • 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.

    Here God forgives her of her vows Numbers 30v12

    If I can just add one small thing as well. Galations 6v7 - God is not fooled. we as humans must really get the Creator fired up. We do so many evils. But we have his Love and Understanding as well. I find reading Romans 12 to be a great guide to Christian living. Have a scroll through.

    Here God forgives her of her vows Numbers 30v12

    These are not wedding vows...Moses is speaking of vows that woman make whether they are married or not. Vows to God, etc. If the husband heard his wife make a vow and did not agree with it, he could release her from it. The husband hads the option of letting it stand or not. If not, God would...

    A disturbing trend...

    Hey, Im only new to this kind of thing, but whats I have noticed from reading through thread after thread is that people are actually looking for an 'out' so quickly. Has anyone heard of councelling? What about love? Why must we seek to flee when things get 'tough'? Im sorry, I know there...

    Spouse left me for non-adultery reasons

    Its an interesting thought. If the adulterer repents, but the person left on their own moved on in the meantime, where does that leave the repentant adulterer? Should the person left try to reconclie again? (Im saying this given the person left has not married again and made vows).

    What is it with divorce & old/new testament

    Thanks Johnnz, very rarely should divorce be the road taken for a Christian. Only under extreme circumstances...if at all. This is why finding the right person is so important. The next step is keeping the relationship alive, no marriage is easy and without trial, but with the amount of help and...

    dating while separated?

    Never, ever should we entertain the idea of dating when seperated. You have vows that we made, I'm sorry, but thats the truth. Thats why choosing the right partner is so important, marriage was designed as permanent, we have just made it a loose contract. Get yourself figured out, find out...

    Impossible to move on

    Could not agree more, 'the papers' arent even final yet and your are involved with this other guy...sometimes we come across someone that gives us what we want and we fall for this person, but you are married still and are walking a fine line. You could face more dark times if you do not...

    Impossible to move on

    Hi S2008, its a good thing that the boyfriend is gone, although it may not feel like it at the moment. Is your husband still acting this way? Have you guys gotten professional help? "then love is rare and marriage for a christian is a trap" A christian marriage is still rocked by the same...

    How do I stop the anger and bitterness?

    I would actually like to see where in scripture God did seperate Himself from Israel...Israel on many occasions 'seperated' from God, but He was always there. Bringing them into captivity is an example. God was there watching and looking after them (Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra, etc). He was there to...

    Is pornography cheating????

    Smoking, drugs, drinking, sex and gambling are all "addictions". they all however can be overcome with the help of God. We are under the law of grace from our Lord Jesus Christ, but...doing this knowing it is wrong is not right. A 'Christian' that acts in this way is not 'ignorant' and...

    How do I stop the anger and bitterness?

    I really dont think seperation is an answer. Take the example of God with Israel. His people often failed to live up to their covenant to God. Did God abandon His people? Never, nor though did He ignore their failures. God always confronted Israel, but always stood ready to forgive. Fair enough...

    Church wants to disfellowship me/ I seperated from my husband

    I have, going through all the up and downs (mostly downs) is hard. I cannot speak for your situation, only my own and those around me. Hard work never hurt anyone, its tough while your doing it, yes, but your rewarded at the end. Again, I cant impose myself on your situation, only encourage...

    Church wants to disfellowship me/ I seperated from my husband

    This may not be what you wish to hear than, but forgive me, as someone that has ridden the ride, I must. Im not a hebrew or greek scholar, but I do love reading my Bible, and the message I get from it, I believe are clear. God loves family, Christ loves family. Marriage becomes the second...

    Is pornography cheating????

    completely agree to the above. Matt 5v28 "I say unot you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath commited adultery with her already in his heart". How even more in being involved with pornography. where actions match the decietful heart. I would say that pornography is...
