• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I have this a lot. Praying for a person I love but don't know. I keep getting the thoughts that she's a horrible person, not worthy of my love or prayers. It hurts because it's a constant battle in my head to keep thoughts of love and kindness vs she's a harlot or stuff like that.

Have you talked to a Christian brother about that?

Even so, having a home church and people you can fellowship with is good.
To be honest, I've been though all that before. I'm at the point where my faith and trust in God being love is at an all time low. I look at life like it's death ow, I'm just waiting on my time.

I believe God is gonna do what he wants. If Jesus was the plan for humanity, but humanity had to believe and accept it in this fallen state, well that's a vey weak plan, and makes Satan stronger.
Are you saying that you are not living in a fallen world?

No, I'm not saying that. I know we live in a fallen world. What i'm saying is if traditional church teaching of Turn or Burn is true, then God made a huge mistake, and most of his creation are doomed.

I'm saying i don't believe Jesus came to start a religion, but rather to learn from him.
Would you consider finding a fellow brother whom you can trust and respect and talk to him about your concerns, OCD and otherwise?
