• 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.

My fear of hell is very very dim if at all. It’s very very dim. When I attempt to think about God and hell my forehead gets tense. My mind doesn’t want to retain it At all. I forget what I read in no time.
If your fear of everlasting torment is dim, you haven’t thought about it enough. More to the point, fearing God is mostly about revering Him for who He is and what He’s done: His majesty, power, etc. It’s not about cowering in fear as if He is going to strike you down. On the contrary, He loves you enough to send His Son to die for you.

It seems as if you just want to argue at this point. I’m really not interested in that. I’ve presented the Gospel to you; what you do with that information is entirely up to you. I hope you will place your faith in Jesus. I wish you well, my friend.

My “interest” in this is only intellectual and that intellectual “desire” is not that much at all. I cannot control my mind. It’s that screwed up.
Don't you kind of fear wasting your life with a out of control mind ?

Don't you fear missing God helping you not to live a life of vanity with a mind getting more and more messed up, which you cannot control?

Maybe instead of worrying about no fear of God you should consider the fear of missing the benefit of His loving Fatherhood, saving your mind from such turmoil and darkness.
