• 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.

Sorry I’m Shamanist, so I can’t answer. Just sounds quite interesting as if Christianity decrees asceticism? Asceticism can be good for spiritual quest, but for the strong. The average people can’t handle it, or they need to grow first. Could you please re-word your question for me in simple way?

And if sex outside of marriage is wrong, shouldn't Leviticus say "thou shalt not have sexual relations with any woman that thou art not married to" or "thou shalt not have sexual relations with a woman unless thou art married to her" or something? How come the Greek phrase sex ektós gámou isn't in the New Testament? Edit: Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
I understand the seventh commandment. But adultery is just a person with someone else's spouse, or a married person with someone other his/her their spouse. What's the Hebrew word for adultery?
And I understand 1 Corinthians 7:2. Fornication is porneia, which is not the same as sex ektos gamou.
Is Sex Before Marriage Forbidden in the Bible?
I would like you to comment on that post and tell Lee Woofenden why you disagree. I want him to hear your points, because they are good.
Edit: How come progamiaíes schéseis isn't in the New Testament? Or the Hebrew equivalent in the Old Testament?
