• 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.

Hi. I am not sure what to do about things. I need some advice on how to obtain Peace.

I actually posted this thread on another Christian forum but someone told me my problem was being a Catholic and that I cannot accept.

Please read the entire thread before replying here as more things come out that I am deeply ashamed of-especially my last 5 posts or so in that thread.

I wish you all well. God Bless

Welcome!

I wish I could help you with your problems in some way, but this was edited before I got to read it. If you would like advice on obtaining peace, feel free to pm me anytime! I'm not an expert, but I know a thing or two. And, oh yeah- I don't have any problems with Catholics. My whole family is Catholic, and I used to be one, too.

I have to have 15 posts before I can post the link? That link explains everything I'm going through it's ages long. I can't post it all by typing again i'm sick.
Sorry I didn't meet the right criteria for asking for help. I didn't know where else to go. I thought spamming up to 15 posts would be rude. Turn me away then. I didn't know Christians put a criteria on who needs help and a condition on when you can ask for it.

Hi from Spain, Angelic.

You want peace ... The Lord Jesus said: (John 14:27) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Notice He said that HE was giving us HIS peace.

Nobody else can give us His peace. He worked our peace dying for us in Calvary as the real offering for our sin, to satisfy God's righteousness as to our sins, dying for us. God the Father was SATISFIED with the offering of His Son, and He rose up from the dead as having fulfilled all our redemption. So, what do we do? "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 1:5).

It's simply a matter of realizing that you stand as a sinner before Him who said: (Luke 5:32): "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." And that He also said: "him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37).

Ponder this. Peace you will never find from men or any institution. Not even from the Church of God, which is the fellowship of those that have received God's peace. You will receive it from the Peace Maker, who offers it freely to all that come to Him, the Lord Jesus our loving Saviour.

In Him,
doulos
