  • 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

So you advocate marrying someone you're not attracted to.

What does that have to do with anything? You can be attracted to someone without having sex with them!

I don't understand how believing the very basic word of the Bible makes one a "fundamentalist." I believe the more accurate word would be "Christian." Especially when it comes to the words of Christ! If one cannot believe what is quoted as the words that Jesus Himself spoke in the Bible, what foundation do they have to build a life upon as a Christian?

There is NO way to interpret the Bible as to saying that casual sex is okay. The OP is in a long-term relationship that is sexual with someone that she is not married to, not sure if she wants to marry him, AND desiring sex with other men. The Bible is very clear on what the problem is here.

We're not referring the proper length of a woman's hair or any other gray area that can be considered debatable. This is very basic Bible, a very clean cut area of the Law that is not open to interpretation. The only way to get out of this one is to go down a VERY slippery slope... picking and choosing what we follow in the Bible so that we don't have to change ourselves or repent our sins. We are called to suppress the desires of our flesh and be obedient to the kind, loving, forgiving Father, our God, who knows what is best for us much better than we do.



It has nothing to do with marrying someone you aren't attracted to. I am very attracted to my husband and certainly wouldn't have married him if I found him repulsive. Unless you are saying that all Christian men are unattractive and repulsive, which, if you truly feel that way, I would suggest a little travel, as anywhere I've been, Christians are as diverse in appearance as the non-believing population.

How did you deduce this from my post ?!

Of course No One should marry someone theyre not attracted to. Neither should two people Shack Up so they can play house and earn themselves eternal damnation as well as earthly consequences.
