  • 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.

    Regaining sexual purity in a relationship?

    Hi all, I'm very sorry if this is tmi but I need advice. I have been dating a wonderful man for over 9 months. We are both incredibly strong in our decision to wait until marriage, but unfortunately have rationalized until this point that "things leading up to sex aren't actually sex" and have...

    Is Purity Possible?

    Psalm 119:9a NASB How can a young man keep his way pure? How Can We? I live in the USA (America). And, I regularly ask myself this question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” Only, it is more like, “How can anyone keep his way pure?” Why do I ask this regularly? Because, no matter...

    How do you have a real loving relationship without lust?

    I've always struggled with this. Bible and God preach that lusting is the same as adultery. But how can you fall in love with somebody and decide to marry them without being sexually attracted to them first? Thanks in advance.

    Am I experiencing lust, infatuation or real attraction?

    I'm experiencing a really deep sadness, as someone that I feel deeply for is no longer in my life. We did not have a romantic relationship officially, but it was very obvious that there was chemistry there. I'm struggling now, to discern between whether my feelings are genuine or strictly...

    God answered my prayer and removed temptation, but now i feel heartbroken

    I have been struggling with temptation and lust, with a coworker of mine. I prayed over it, but those prayers of "I know this is what I should pray about, but in my heart it's not what I want." And here I am now, with the temptation removed, but my heart aching. Asking for prayers of...

    LUST IS ADULTERY Mt. 5:28

    The best interpretation of "...lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart," is that "in his heart" means PASSIONATELY, whole-heartedly. That there has already been adultery (like Jesus says), and that done in a very passionate, heart-full manner. What is being pointed...

    Difficult time controlling sexual arousal (little TMI)

    I'm a firm believer. My boyfriend is, too. We are waiting for marriage (should we decide we are meant to be married) before sexual contact. We've officially only been a couple since Valentine's Day (9 days ago). I had a total hysterectomy and both ovaries removed due to problems with them in...

    Pls help

    How do I confess "oral sex"? Do I say I've commited an act of fornication? Should I say I've had lustful thoughts and actions? How can I say I've masturbated without using the dreadful word. How can I stop giving in to my sexual desires and wanting to touch myself and my boyfriend in...

    What does Matthew 5:28 mean?

    I've been trying to grasp this scripture for a few years now but I'm no closer to understanding it. Matthew 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart." What context is this scripture in? I've looked up "lust" in...

    Pride and Lust (Need Prayer)

    God has seemed to open my eyes to two of my chief sins in my life. The LORD cast me down with guilt after I barked at two people for endorsing a Bethel Redding church event and how I behaved was inexcusable. I also struggle with sexual temptation and can really be carried away at the slightest...

    Is this lust, and how do I overcome adultery?

    So I've recently been going to the beach quite often because I love to go fishing, but each time I go there are always females almost completely naked. Each time my eyes linger to their bust or other assets. I don't think about anything sexual, but it just feels wrong that I am in a sense...
