  • 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

My only question is this...

Who is the focus of the relationship, the two of you or God?

If it's you two, then everything you do together will probably feel "right."

I remember a something I read in a Star Wars book once. They were warning a padawan about the dangers of the Dark Side. They said something to the effect of "It won't feel like it's wrong. It will feel like the most right thing you've ever done."

Now, I'm not saying that this relationship is wrong or sinful. I'm merely trying to get you to examine your relationship in the light of God and His standards. If you can honestly say that God is the center of the relationship and that he is being honored, great! If not, it would be best to either put Him in the center of the relationship or to break it off.

The fact that you have been seeing him without your parents knowledge makes me think that God's not where He should be in the relationship.

Honestly, though, it's kinda creepy (to me) thinking about a 39 year old and an 18 year old together.

This is 100% true and very sound advice! Not realizing this nearly cost me my best friend (the woman I love).
