  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

hi guys i am in an intolerable situation. it seems that everyting in my life has gone completely upside down. i lost my job and am trying to start a business but it seems that every idea i have only leads to a dead end. i am at my wits end trying to make heads pr tails of my life and i don't know what to do. i pray alot and try to be the best i can when it comes to my spirituality but still i am at an all time low. the girl of dreams is marrying another guy and he ain't even christain let alone SDA. She is having a wedding ceremony which is not even Christian. I don't think she will attend church anymore and this man beats her up and still she wants to marry him. What do i do, i am lost confused and depressed. Sometimes i feel like God has forsaken me. please pray for me.

I'll pray for you too.

This girl who is marrying the un-believer, why is she taking his abuse? Have you talked to her about it; has anyone else? And does she possibly think that if he leaves her she'll have no one else? [maybe this is different, but every story I hear like that, the woman has a low self-esteem or thinks she won't get another] Anyway, I am praying for her too.

why is she taking the abuse? it stems from family issues she had to endure while growing up. Yes she has a low self esteem because of this and believes that the only way she can be happy is to be in abusive relationships. She had some really wonderful SDA guys wanting to marry her but she refused. they treated her really well and i was one of the guys who dated her for a while and wanted to marry her. she now feels that she is too old (29 years old) to go and start a realtionship from scratch, so she finally set her mind on this unbeliever who has no intention of becoming Christian. They are not getting married in a church or taking any of the Christian vows. I tried talking to her but she gets really angry so i have given up and all i can do now is pray for her. Thanks you guys and Eve for the prayers and advice.
