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.

Say if God brought a person into your life who you felt really incredibly connected to from the moment you met, felt extrinsically linked to, found attractive and amazing as a person, shared alot of similar interests with and you really complimented each other...do you think its possible to just loose it just like that if you lost contact for a bit? Say, if you had lost contact a few times before but that never changed how either of you felt...and then one of you just lost it.
This kinda relates to a situation im in with a guy friend, this is what the guy said. Im really confused, I dont get it... I mentioning this following bit too because I know I have read posts from others on the forum who say they have experienced it but I did hear God speak to me on this in an audible way...and I just cant for the life of me see how I could possibly be wrong about that, it was definately nothing like anything I have ever experienced before..but things are going the opposite way right now...
Can that really happen, can one of you just loose it, or could I have missed my last chance on it or something? I know God has a plan for our lives but he gave us free will too right? so we could just as easily screw it up.. I dunno what to make of this. What do others think?
Sure. We all have choices and as such we can accept, reject, or do whatever to any situation that comes our way.

Yes, you have to take free will into consideration. You have to be very careful in deciphering God's will. I "heard" God tell me to wait when I was praying about my fiance who was not a Christian and had cheated on me. He ended up supposedly accepting Christ so I thought that was what I was supposed to wait for. I married him, but his conversion never took.

It's possible to "lose it", yes. But at the same time, perhaps it is more a matter of "not yet", as opposed to losing anything.

Yes, unfortunately I think you can "just loose it" if it was a distance attraction as apposed to strong love.
Love is like a bond, and the feeling of "potential love" is just that, "potential" you aren't stuck with it. If you think you going to regret not trying, then throw worries about "loosing it" out the window and find out, the worst thing that could happen is nothing at all

Yes, it is possible to lose interest just like that. I recently lost interest in someone after not talking to them or seeing them for a month.

It could well be just spiritualized infatuation. God can take care of the details since He is sovereign. What really matters is that you follow Him in the basics. If you're doing that, honestly following Him as best as you know how, I don't think you'll miss out on His will for your life.

Never try to figure out His will by looking at your circumstances, but esp. when you're not the closest you can be to Him. And when others are involved, their relationship w/ Him comes in as well.

Some things may be our choice, but there are wrong and right choices, and our choices are right only when they're made when we're living in a right relationship with God.

Hon, God isn't that small, don't worry. He knows the end from the beginning and everything in between so he knew perfectly well the choices you were going to make. He's got everything under control.
If it's a God thing it'll work out regardless unless you deliberatly mess it up, and if it's not, then nothing will happen.
So it's all good.
