  • 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 know the act of sexual intercourse is a sin in God's eyes but how far is "too far" to go physically with my boyfriend?
If you have doubts about what is being done, then already maybe conscience is working.

Hebrews 9.14 speaks of the cleansing of the conscience which can be known through faith in the Lord Jesus.

IMO it is the wrong question. It is tantamount to "how close can I come to sinning and it not being counted against me?" Or "how far can I lean over the cliff without falling?"

What I should ask is why you want to come close to intercourse in the first place; but of course the answer to that is obvious. But maybe you should ask yourself that question.

I understand how strong physical desires are. If what you are doing is responding to those desires and fanning those flames, IMO you are going too far. It will only be a matter of time before you will end up going all the way.

But that is just my opinion.

BTW - unlike a former president said, oral IS sex. So is manual.
