• 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.

The Marriage bed.

Back to topic - can folks bring into marriage - conditions that defile the marriage bed as the Scripture warns...

Hebrews 13:4
Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

I do not give credit to Satan. I do not even know what " soul ties" means. What I do know is as soon as one takes responsibility for their own sins and stop blaming a demon, that is when true repentance can take place.
My wife told me about 3 years after we married that she had a soul tie with me since she was 8. She describes it as a thread connecting us, and over a few years of conversation she insists its clean and white. It persisted across 1 pedophile and 3 abusive men, and we met when she was 22.

In hindsight I can now recognize that when she was able to observe me walking down the road when i was 16 yrs old: I had a "6th" sense: that there was something up with the building across the street: a catholic church and its elementary school.

I was sensitive to catholic schools because they amplify guilt shame and remorse (all the ptsd my mom had) and so i just assumed that "6th sense" was something i should be concerned about. turns out instead it was a person.

For what its worth i shared this story with a woman who is a little older then me, last week at church, she directly asked me: "would you still have married her if she had told you that before? I would not !" and this fits my bell curve data: some people take this stuff extremely seriously. others ask me "when are you going to write a book?"

In another example, back in march of 2021 when i formed the intention to ask my wife to marry me, within 1 week i crossed paths with a woman my age who i had some significant attraction to, back in 2002-4, but i had not seen or spoken to her since 2004. it was made pretty clear to me that attraction was mutual (and i had not known that before) but it was a distraction. a year later when we had crossed paths again i asked God to see her again, because i do care about her human attraction which is not sexual or sin.. i was told "i will not create an opportunity for sin"

meaning, it has to wait.

but yes we might have a faint soul tie. i haven't even thought about her for 2 years now till writing this post.

MOD HAT ON

This thread will remain closed for multiple rule violations.​

Starting with this rule:​
  • Requesting specific prayers for deliverance from demonic activity, or requesting advice on how to exorcise or bind demons is not allowed. Posts which attempt to exorcise or bind demons, or posts which give instructions on how to complete deliverance are not allowed. Members concerned about demonic activity/deliverance may speak with a CF Chaplain in the Ask a Chaplain forum.
And ending with flaming and General Theology Statement of Purpose Violations. Unorthodox theology about soul ties really belongs in Controversial Christian theology, if it is even allowed to be discussed.​

MOD HAT OFF
