• 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.

God tells Hosea to marry an unfaithful woman, she cheats on him and has several children not his own and has to buy her back in mercy?

Par for the course in Islam. Non-muslim "captive" women are all accounted as objects to be possessed, whatever their marital status. I suppose if they run away, they might be brought back. In the UK muslims are known to have treated many young women as prostitutes.

The story of Hosea relates to a time of total apostasy from God, much like today. In such times, the number of women who fall into this category rises exponentially. All ripe for an Islamic take-over, for Islam advances only where the underlying religion is paganism.
