  • 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.

In need of prayers from fellow Christians.

So after being in a relationship for 3 years, that relationship was not healthy, it wasn't good, I only stayed because of lust. During the breakup process, I prayed & asked God to put someone into my life & that's exactly what he did next day after asking God, I met someone & she was absolutely perfect. Me being stupid, I cheated on her with the previous girl & I ruined that relationship. I regret it so much, it was so hard getting over the girl God blessed me with. I tried very hard to get her back, but God already blessed her with another guy. After months of grieving & being depressed, I finally came to terms with the whole ideal. She forgave me & we are friends. I don't talk to her anymore because I still have feelings for her & it hurts I can't be with her. So I prayed & prayed, begging for forgiveness for taking what God blessed me with for granted & he blessed me with someone else. I've only known the girl for about a month, but she is everything I want & one thing that really makes me attracted to her is her faith & how focused she is in her studies, she's a great person & I can honestly see myself with her long term. Well, I screwed up, AGAIN. In the beginning I wasn't honest about my age, she's 19, I'm 19 (about to turn 20). I told her I was 21, going on 22. Reason being, typically, where we live, guys my age aren't on the same level of maturity as I'm on, so I thought that would be a deal breaker. So, just yesterday, I felt really bad about lying to her, I'm trying to build a closer relationship with God & live accordingly, so I came clean & told her the truth because I'm really feeling her, I didn't want to drag on the lie. It's a very dumb lie & long story short, she basically hates me now & doesn't trust me. It's amazing how one thing can really make a person look you different, but I get it. She must feel if I can lie about something dumb like that, what else could I be lying about.

So this is where I need my fellow Christian's help. I've tried apologizing, sending her long texts about how sorry I am & it'll never happen again, she ignored me all day yesterday, & today when I text her, she told me not to talk to her anymore, she doesn't have anything to say to me because I'm a liar. I've been so sad, depressed, & mad at myself for once again, screwing up something God blessed me with. This is still fresh, so I'm asking all of you to pray she forgives me & gives me another chance. I'm really trying to do the right thing. I'm not a bad person, just made a very bad decisions. I'm not perfect. I really like her & I'm picky when it comes to dating. Please everyone pray me & her work things out. I promise I will never do anything like this ever again. :( Her name is Shaneeka, my name is Elijah.

Thank you all! I really appreciate it...
