  • 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.

Well, my boyfriend and I are doing a thing where we try to read through the Bible from beginning to end by reading just one chapter a week, and then at the end of the week we discuss what we read and try to figure out what it means and how it applies to us. We've only just started though.

Hey, i normally find out how my boyfriend is feeling. Or things that are going on in his life/ the world etc and i find things around that and do him a bible study. Youth bible can help with that- look at the refrences.
Once we took it in turnes to read chapters from Revelations n helped each other understand it.

Hmmm well I'm going to be a pain and say I think it is better for dating couples to not have devotions/Bible studies together unless it is in a group. I think that your relationship with God is your relationship with God and until marriage it should not include your significant other. It makes break ups harder, bonds closer than dating bonds should be, and in general, that a single person's relationship with God does not need to have a third party involved.

Chocolateloverjen Yeah that does help maybe i'll think about doing that thanks for the advice.


Leanna, Thanks for the advice i know what you are saying but we plan to be together for a while and everything and maybe later down the line thank about marriage. I have seen that couples that are just dating that have done this. But i will keep your advice in mind.

I think any sort of Bible study material would probably be good, not just one that focusses on relationships. If you were both to do the studies independently, then use some time together to share your thoughts about questions in that study. I think that it would give you both the opportunity to strengthen your times with God alone and your time with your SO.

your welcome. orr you could even look on the internet for things, i havent done that yet- i prefer to look myself and he knows that i have read through it all and put the effort in for him. I even play him worship songs down the phone(in long distant relationship_ or we sit listening to them- like one or two- that go with what i am trying to say or the theme of the bible study.
Hes played songs on the guitar for me to hear sometimes. Its dead sweet and it helps- thats hard to do over the phone though-lol.

Disagree..now is the time to find out about diffrences..for instance your bf may interpet something diffrent then you or you may think that not how you want to live..its important that you both have the same worldwiew!
