• 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.

Its weird because trust has been brought up to me a lot through councillors. I apparently put complete trust in people I dont know, and I shy away with sharing anything with people I know.

Thanks for your kind words, by the way, I forgot to mention that.

I'm not sure who you refer to as breaking my trust. My wife saved me, if anything. She saved me from addiction, and I put her through a lot, regrettably. That is, if you refer to my wife. I am unsure. We've been together 10 years now.

I guess I have trouble knowing Christ because I never knew the guy. My interpretation differs of what Christ means. God the son, to me, refers to knowing oneself. The acts through god reflect the Holy spirit. The father is the god of gods.

Does that make sense? Again, I'm only seeking, and I don't want to walk the wrong path. I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I'm told I come off that way often.


I was not referring to your wife. You stated you had issues with opening to certain people because of actions, and thus to me that sounds like a trust issue. Perhaps I misread or misunderstood. Broken trust with church leaders is never good. Not that you lose trust necessarily but that some feel they are not bound by trust or honor.

I'm sorry, but I must ask the question. How does one define God? And if you can't, how can you be sure you're right?

I met Jesus Christ outside of church (I had never been to church. I'm not knocking church/parish) via the Gospel of John

I suggest you read the Gospel of John ( link John 1 NIV) Read it like a novel. Read the words of Christ and see who he is for your self. Then if you believe, watch all the changes take place in you life. God bless
