• 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.

might seem silly but I just wonder

Do you also feel the joy from God when you try your best to do right to live right follow what He says? A joy suddenly comes over me and I feel like almost a shoulder nod with his hand. I feel it from within, and it is not from me. And joy rush over me. And feel this acceptance. Do you also feel like that?

I get that feeling when I think about how great my life is. It’s not exclusive to Christians.

It’s dopamine receptors going off.

Feeling good or bad about life is human, but how do you know that you are experiencing the specific feeling she described? It's pretty detailed.

Systems have components and processes, but that's beside the point. We wouldn't say a shirt isn't actually purple because we are aware that it contains dyes that reflect a combination of red and blue wavelengths. Understanding how purple works doesn't make the shirt less purple.

By the detail the poster provided. That’s exactly how I sometimes feel. It can be overwhelming.

But now it is about faith and regarding God, not daily non christian life

question. Are you a christian and if so what kind
because that statement is what a typical non christian would say. like pluck apart faith. Faith in God is way more than dopamin.

You should have posted in the Christian’s section of the board. Not sure what your question has to do with ethics and morality though.

Yeah but if it’s the same feeling what’s the difference?
