• 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

Mentor shared with me.
You have problem with it?
M-Bob

Nah...you're entitled to your opinions, even the wrong ones.

What kind of mentor are we talking about? Aren't you old? Is it like a yoga instructor?

Proverbs 13:24

New International Version
Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
I think you're confused. I never said to strike an adult or a child. God's word says to use the rod (spank) on the child to correct them. Once a person is an adult it is too late to spank them, they have to be disciplined as a child.
I'm confused? I think it is you who is confused if you think you read the word "spank" anywhere in the bible.

Nope, never heard that...is it because they're supposed to be inflexible?
What kind of mentor is he/she?




Christian mentor.
Along with a few other things.

Mr Driscoll needs to get out more.

Yes, just goes to prove that some of us hold to the Bible and some of us although they think they do don't.

Many will be deceived that is for sure.

The bible also says to pluck out your eye and to cut off your arm if they offend you. How many one-eyed amputee Christians do you know?

I'd be interested to know how long you been studying?
Do you happen to attend a church?
Under the Umbrella of a good solid pastor?
Just curious.
No harm meant.

No harm taken.
If you mean, have I been studying the bible, the answer is no. I have read it though.
I am an atheist, so needless to say I don't attend a church although I have been in a church when a family member or friend is getting married.
The only umbrella I'm ever under is the one to protect me from the rain.

people who were innocent but sent to prison anyway?
tulc(is having another cup of coffee!) :coffee:

That does happen.

I would imagine though, that guilty people beat their cases more often then innocent people are sent to prison.

The system isn't perfect.
