• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

It would be better for him if he'd never been BORN.

What could he face after obviously having been born, that he wouldn't face if he hadn't?

A host of things that don't have to be what you want it to be. Regret, sorrow, etc.

If he were facing the wonderous gift of salvation and the reward of heaven, the in-between stuff wouldn't matter.

I have sorrow and regret over decisions I didn't make or could've made sooner, but I'm certainly glad I was born.

Job cursed the day he was born. You are too keen for the worst.

That's correct DJ--I believe it's the kind of repentance that the bible says needs "to be repented of"!

2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

I am SOOO jealous I'm green. I love animals so much and desire so badly, especially the 'wild' ones to befriend me.

Last year there was a tame deer that would make his rounds over the area I live in. He would come over every few days and I would hand feed him almonds and shredded wheat. He let me pull the ticks off and brush him. Even my cat and him would 'nose' each other. Then one day--he never retuned.

I hope he is ok.

Aren't you the one who talks about assuming facts or is it DJ?

That would be me and you ain't old enough yet to have old-timer's.

All threads wander. We pick up on a word or thought and we have to post it.

And if no one has anything of substance at the moment to bring it back on topic then it won't get there. In some cases it has been suitably hashed out to most everyone's satisfaction.
