  • 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.

If you believe God told you that this someone is to be your husband/wife, would bad credit - past addictions - criminal history stop you from marrying him/her?
The problem with a question like this is there are two sides to us. The human logical side of us says "Avoid this person!". But the christian side of us says who are we to point fingers when we all sin? All sins are forgiven after all. If we judge someone else for theirs and do not forgive them, then the bible says we will not be forgiven.

With that said If they aren't the person they used to be then I wouldn't see a problem with it. Granted things like bad credit may cause future issues. And of course we have to make sure God told us this for sure. With the women in my past I swore up and down God told me to marry them. Turns out it was my inner voice, like myself or the devil. God voice was there telling me not to marry them but I chose the answer I wanted to here really.

I can't say what God would say to do or not do. Only you know the answer. Do what I did and fast about it. Thats how I determined with my wife is she was the one. For once I got a clear answer with no real issues with false ones. I will say also make sure you equally yolked.

Ultimately you have to go with your own instinct,the problem is though that love is general blind and causes rational people to become irrational.You more than likly know what your going to do so good luck and i hope it works out
