• 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

Luke 1:45 said:
........ hear the words "I'm sorry, but only go out with/date Christians."

Tell us the circumstances and whether or not that person and those words made an impact on when you began to really seek the Lord.

No, I never had this said to me during my back-slidden times.

The irony is that now this is something that I say quite a bit. I don't mean it to be rude or to belittle the other person, its just that before even considering whether or not to engage in a more extended/intimate conversation with someone, this is something that I would rather know from jump (and squash it then) as opposed to days/weeks later when feelings are developing, which can cloud my judgement.

I would like to think that the other person would understand, although in my experience, the guy usually thinks I'm kidding (or that he can "change my mind" LOL ) and still tries anyway.

Well I don't like you say want to be rude nor jam God down someone's throat but I would only date Christians but maybe if a non-Christian is opened to the Word of God, hopefully that person can change.
