• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

You're still presenting a false dichotomy, and you still don't see it.
I'm not presenting anything of the kind, merely pointing out that the two of you said seemingly different things. You could clarify, or you could blame me for pointing out that they look different.
It's really not that complex. G-d has said He will give Light and Faith to every person.
As you keep telling me, I clearly don't understand these capitalised Christian concepts.
He has also said He will not tolerate obstinate disobedience forever. We do have a hand in this, in a sense we each cut our own covenant with the Lord, and in a sense we each either enter into the covenant He offers us, or we don't.
I don't see that there's anyone with whom to make a covenant, what now?

The Christian, or indeed any, god didn't give me any faith when I wanted to believe. What do I make of that?

If you tell me I didn't really want it, I'm gonna scream.
