• 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

where in the bible does it call us to learn the inner workings of single men and women?

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5

we are so seek christ(take every thought captive), and study the word. we will then not need to know the inner workings.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God
Colossians 3:1-3

That is a completely unrelated to scripture. There is nothing disobediant to Christ in flirting.

You don't like flirting, stay away. . . but I'll tell you I hope if you don't like flirting you arn't expecting or hoping to get married in the future.

Hmmmm..

In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1)

Pretty much God knew every little detail, like the count that we as humans will one day screw up His grand design and so on

After these things the Word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward. (Gen 15:1)

He also knew that we may be lonely on this planet so He created Adam and Eve as a blue print of what He called as marriage and the blessing and so on..

Man cannot live on bread alone..

Look up Jeremiah 29:11

John 8 is a example where grace was given because a woman was taken in adultery, Jesus Christ made an example to all Christians to not judge fellow Christians as well as pointing out Don't sin no more and live your lives as the Lord wants you and so on..

Ephesians 5 is a good chapter to look into as well..it talks about a lot of good points in not screwing up in purity as well as pointing out that husbands and wives should be happy as well as 'two become one flesh' scripture..

God created man and woman, Sex, the universe and everything else good..

Flirting is a act of giving people confidence and self-esteem..it is to be used with caution..

'Yeah, your gooding nice today' (Good example)

'Yeah, baby you and me equals a fun time. Let's make some sweet sweet [you thought the picture, k] (Bad example)

Take it with caution..

I also like Luther073082 comment, how can you ever get involved with anyone, if you can't say 'Hey I like you' to someone that you like or in love and so on..let alone married and aw yes actually make love to your future life partner IN MARRIAGE without thinking or flirting or anything romantic..welcome to the 21st century!! Love and life is hard, and without love we are nothing!!!


Regards,
Drew
