  • 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.

New Christian needs advice.

I'm glad I found out now instead of when I'm older and married to a man like my step-father.
I agree... keep reminding yourself during the weak moments that come.
3rd year, huh?

I am so excited to hear about your pursuit of rightiousnes even threw such hard sercomstances. I am so happy that you did not abort your child, my mom thought about aborting me too. and i am so greatfull she made the right choice and now i am going to give the enemy what for. lol.

From i guys perspective it does not sound like your boyfriend cares about you or the truth. He may honestly think that he cares about you and God but a person shows who they are by there actions not by what comes out of there mouth. If i were you i would tell him no more physical contact till marrage, if you actually want to marry him. but you are about to give your life to Christ and we are told not to be unevenly yoked, so unless he shows the same kind of passion that you want to have for a real relationship with Jesus Christ than i would dump him. If he acuses you of anything it is just him trying to menipulate you.

Scripture is true and fornication is really bad. If you like i can tell you why but i won't without your permition because you might take offence. But be sure that all of your sin is covered in the Blood of Jesus when you Make Him you Lord and Savior.

Babtism is like marrying God. after you get babtized you begin a jorny and no matter if you run from God He will seek you out. Think about what you are doing and don't take it lightly. And expect to be filled with the Holy Spirit. When you get babtised you are comfesing Jesus Christ as your Lord before witnesses. When you go down you are dieing to all that you are and your old life and when you come up you are rising with Him a new creation and a second birth. after that your life is about developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and being a wrestingplace of the Holy Spirit.

I wold sugjest watching this video before you get babtised so you know what you are getting into before you tie the knot with God. lol. plus it will give you great info that most belivers don't start with.

I can not post links yet so just go to youtube and type in:
How to Make JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior

i am hear for any questions or comments. lol just private message me.

and by the way..... You can make babies in Heaven with your Husband. plus it wont be painful. lol. We will get new bodies. sex isn't bad and God didn't make a mistake when he made us male and female. lol. its only bad before marrage.

Manny people think that Jesus's reply to the pharasees question in Mathew 22 indicates that there is no reproduction in heaven. because Jesus says that "In the reserection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven."

Some people take this scripture to mean that angels do not have genitals but we know from scripture that that isnt true. lol.
I think the reason we misunderstand Jesus's answer to the pharasees is because we misunderstand the pharasees question.

The pharasees were asking a legal question. What the pharasees were really saying is "This woman was the property of several men on earth, so who's property will she be in heaven" and Jesus said that in heaven women are not property to be given by fathers and taken by husbands in marrage. but like the angels we are the property of God." So in heaven it will be obvious who our mate is. If we choose a mate on earth thats the one. but if we don't that it will be obvious when we get there.

I am not quoting scripture i am giving you my interpretation i may be wrong. and yes i realize that my interpritation of scripture may be just as bad as satans interpritation. (the message bible) lol but i am not claiming that my interpritation is the Living Word of God.

I'm pretty new at this, but sex in itself is not sinful, right (not that it's a problem for me - no girlfriend or wife)? Maybe just be the best that you can be, ask God to forgive the rest, and you'll become better and better as time goes on :)

Outside the context of marriage (God's ordained definition of marriage, not man's) yes it is sinful.
