  • 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

can i ask some several minutes? haha i know my thread is not that interesting but i wanna hear some statements though. :D

so what do you think why teens like me, like you, like them, like us are prone to temptations and struggles? i mean in a christian life, one foot in the hell, one foot in the heaven>. well i just wanna know your side folks.

i`m just 16 years old now, but i received Jesus a long time ago, and baptized by the Holy Spirit but though, i still have struggles like being into sins easily. but I realized recently we must surrender all to God. you know guys, some of teens mustn't tell they are in struggles or afflictions or consequences. but Holy Spirits convicts, tells you what is right and wrong. be aware folks if Holy Spirit is not in your favor cause you will never know that what you are doing is not right. I sinned again and again, asking forgiveness again and again. Hebrews 10.26 - paul noted there that there would be no sacrifice left for our sins if we purposely go again sinning after we received the salvation/truth. this is not blackmail folks. i`m just being cautious and concern for every salvation of every individuals.

thank you for reading, im sorry if i disturbed your time just for reading this. hehehe :) any critics and compliments are accepted. testimonies and comments are very well welcome. im being into active right now since I`m just new. hehehe. well guys. you can add me into facebook and let us be friends and know more deeply. haha! .Godbless. YHWH bless us.! :angel:

Why do I think we fall into temptation? Because we have a fallen spirit inside of us. This spirit makes it easy for us to sin, and love every minute of it(until it ends and we feel like crap).

BTW, welcome to CF! Hope you enjoy your stay!

I think the reason is pretty simple. The nearer we draw to God, the angrier Satan gets (as we know, he hates us and wants us to burn in hell with him, instead of sharing in God's happiness), and the harder he tries to tempt and test us. Think of Job. While it would not be nice to live like him, isn't it an honor to be so righteous and upright that the devil would get so mad at you?

And a god that is all powerful just lets this happen? Seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Why so? God never promised us a cake walk in the park, neither are we told a similar message regarding the spiritual realm. God has reasons for letting the demons attack us, namely to rely on His Spirit. Another reason would be to encourage us to be obedient to God's guidance and obey Him no matter what happens (i.e. the very life of Job)
