• 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.

  • 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.

Has God refused to save me.

Scripture says He has already saved you. That is He has already done everything necessary to save you.


In these verses, the key thought to come away with is He has done His part. He has reconciled you already, and now it is your turn be reconciled to God by accepting it and say "Yes!"

2 Corinthians 5:18-20 KJV
18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

It just seems that not by choice I'm always doing the wrong thing and I'm too dumb and slow according to people around me and I'm just not trusting God enough and that it's my fault and then when I do things people around me tell me to do to fix it I still have a problems. It seems to me the solution would be to just remove myself from this world since I can't seem to do anything right whatsoever.

It seems to me the solution might be to ditch the people around you and find others who can love, affirm and accept you.
"Other people" are saying you are dumb, slow, not trusting in God enough and tell you to "fix" things - "other people" don't live your life; you do.
I know this isn't easy, but who cares what "other people" think?

It's very likely that you are doing lots of things right. God loves you very much and is thrilled that you are his child. His will for you is that you believe in Jesus and have eternal life. If you have done, or are doing that, you are doing his will for you.
