• 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

It is next to where the Bible says that a man CAN marry a man, and a woman CAN marry a woman.

Yeah well lucky for us all that the Bible is NOT a legal code. Lest you forget Christianity did not create the concept of marriage and in the modern day it is a civil construct that is often performed by clergy. It's also performed by ship captains, judges and magistrates.

sin isn't sin huh? well, i'm sure my new testament only qotes won't change your mind... just read romans ch1 basicly says that homosexual activity is snfull and imoral and gal ch 5 says that the sexualy imoral will not inherit the kingdom of God.

'Jewish' law is our law except for where the new testament says otherwise. so when it says 'sexual immorality' is wrong, then we refer to the old testament * and other parts of the new testament* to see what the definition of other parts are.

Leviticus 20 also says we should shun people who have relations while the female is on her time of the month.

So what isn't expressly sanctioned is forbidden? Do you really want to live by that rule? :) We can come up with some very interesting things that Christians do that isn't sanctioned.
