  • 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

If two vows are contradicted TO each other, which vows (first or second) should follow?

If a person has OCD then such vows do not stand. God does not hold symptoms of medical conditions against us. The person is free to teach or not to teach, as she wishes.

In answer to the question, 'What should I do?' God's answer very, very often is, 'You choose; I will stay with you either way.'

How about if a person has ocd vow, and then he ignore the ocd vow after it appeared. And then after a while, he want to explain to god that he dont want to accept the ocd vow but he said wrongly (wrong wording) to god that he want to accept the vow?

Why even make vows at all?

And if you have OCD, and your vows come out of that, but you are not acting as you would in a normal state, then no, God will not hold your condition against you.

But why even make vows? Each day, do your best to follow Christ, and cooperate with the grace God extends to you. Forget vows. Just walk out your faith day by day. Trust God. Any time you fall, repent, ask forgiveness, and get back up. Forget vows. Therein can be pride anyway. Just follow Christ, seek to become more like Him. And leave it all up to God as you cooperate with Him.
