• 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.

  • 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

No. Like ANY other temptation it's not God doing the tempting. It's Satan. But doesn't Satan often use God given traits and characteristics as the mechanism by which He tempts?
No....not God-given traits...God doesn't use sin or any part of sin to design us...He has NO PART of evil.

Satan DOES use deception and lies, however.

No God doesn't use sin to design us. But Satan DOES use aspects of how we are designed to tempt us.

The Bible says that the enemy often comes as an angel of light. So, I would have to agree with chaz.

TBH, MK doesn't disagree with me, she's completely missing what I'm saying.

Where did I ever say anything about God using sin to design us?

Uh...a God-given trait would be part of our design. Chaz, you said, "the temptation to do them is part of the sex drive"....and that is where I disagreed. God obviously created the sex-drive...but, no part of that design includes temptation.
