• 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.

How is one to understand this passage?

Nevertheless, the view of others before, is well taken into account. Trust me on this, lol! Many times I wished I had listened. But God had his own plans! and I had a lot to learn.

sorry, I don’t follow. could you clarify?

@SingularityOne had discussed the question of warnings by others, previous to marriage, (and, I assume, other matters a person might engage in), and I was just chiming in on the validity of the notion, not meaning to chime in on the argument in which you and he were engaging.

oh, gotcha. I didn’t think you were just chiming in, I was just curious.
