  • 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

Ben,

We are not here to judge you, I think wvmtnkid said that a few posts back. I may be wrong, but I get the feeling that you are in a lot of emotional pain, and I think you are starving for love. All of us here were starving for love, until we discovered that only Jesus can fill our hearts completely. No man or woman can give us the complete and eternal love that Jesus gives.

I sincerely pray that you will seek Christian counseling, many of us have sought counseling and can testify that a counselor is a tremendous help when going thru difficult times.

I think you know we love you, Ben. Otherwise, why would we waste time writing to you? You know we care about you and your life.

As for the homosexuality thing, that is secondary, and not the priority issue here. The priority issue is that you are in emotional pain, or at least it seems like you are. I will pray that God will encourage you to find a good Christian counselor, someone you will feel comfortable talking to.

Thanks Aunte_bell. Hmm I am not in pain. I just want to not make such retarded choices in the future and to think more with a loving heart. I am very happy, but I would like to make fewer mistakes is all. I don't want to mess up the good things that will come my way with extra dumb choices. That was the whole point of my first point is that I needed forgivness and to be able to move on and do better.

Thank you though auntie. I know I am loved, but your prayers can always help. Things happen very well for me when I have you guys pray for me.

So thanks again,

Ben

Well, Ben, we are praying for you. After reading your previous posts, I don't doubt that God saved you from death when you tried to overdose. Of course, we would disagree on the reasons he saved you I am sure. But He does have a plan for your life. I just hope and pray your eyes and your heart will be opened to that plan. I also pray that God will touch your heart in a way that you will know without a doubt that it is Him. You said that you were looking for forgiveness. Forgiveness requires a repentent heart, so I would encourage you to look deeply into yours to see if it is truly repentent in the way God requires. Ben, you also said that you felt we were repulsed by you. I don't see anybody saying that they are. We are just concerned for you and are trying to give counsel the best way we know how. I am just curious as to why you would come and ask for prayer from a group that you knew in the beginning would feel the way we do about homosexuality and pre-marital sex. But be assured, as previous posters have stated, we are praying for you. Maybe not in the way you would like, but in the only way we know how. May you feel God in your life and heart, Ben. And may He lead you closer to Him and His will.

Ah well I prayed here because this is where i have been praying it has worked very well for me. I knew that there was going to be a can of worms to open here eventually. Though don't assume everyone here thinks the same way you do. A good 20% of christian organizations are gay accepting these days, so I may see some of then here, I may not. Anyhow your prayers are appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Dear Lord,

Help Ben only make healthy choices from now on. Keep him from doing the things that hurt him. Show your love to him by protecting him from himself and the things he does to hurt himself and others. Show him what forgiveness is and why he needs it. And those "Christians" who are affirming his sin---show them to be who they really are and who they really follow.

Amen
