  • 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

Hi,

I don't mean to judge, Good Lord knows I'm not perfect, but you should not be living with someone that you are not married to. You also should not marry someone who is not a Christian. Feel free to throw stones at me if you like, but this is what I believe. If you love the man you are with, I pray that he sees he need to be saved, and you all have a desire to marry.

I do not know the details of your life, so I'm sure there are a lot of circumstances that I am not aware of, but I do pray that God will speak to your heart and guide you the way you need to go. :prayer:

Hi Paid In Full-

Wow, this is tough. I don't really know what to say because I don't know all the circumstances. All I can say is that I don't know if I could marry someone who didn't share my faith. It would be hard. I have dated some who haven't shared my faith, and it was a disaster, so I can imagine what marriage would be. If you feel strongly about serving the Lord, than maybe breaking the engagment would be for the best. However, you do share children with this man, so he will never be entirely out of your life. Are you prepared to deal with this? He in effect becomes an ex-husband. He is entitled to rights in regards to his children. So, even though you may not be living together anymore, he will still be a part of your life.

Do you feel that there is a chance he might become involved in this new chruch and through his involvement, give his life to God? Perhaps once he sees you and his children involved, he may want to become involved as well.
