• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

When your wife asks,

"Does this dress make me look fat, Honey?"

and it does.

That might be the time to lie, because that's not her real question, although she hardly ever knows that.
Wrong Answer: "Not any fatter than every thing else you wear"
Second wrong answer: "You don't look fat, you are fat"
Thrid wrong answer: "Fat? More like enormous" (This is a particularly bad choice!)

Correct Answer: "You look so wonderful I would marry you all over again!"
Answer with your heart not your eyeballs.

Well, to save a life (or a marriage or relationship) are the first that come to mind......

There are several instances in scripture where lying is actually rewarded.

The commandment is to "not bear false witness against a neighbor." There are many instances where an untruth would not fall in to that category.

i.e. - Do you hate Jews? "yes" - do you have Jews hiding on your home? "no"
Hmm
That bears some thinking about especially the saving a life part.

How would I answer and not put some one in jepordy and still tell the truth?

I've heard the suggestion, "How can I tell when it's so loose on you?" ;)

Peace!

Ohhh, I know it.

'Came from my Other Half's father. ;)

Seeing that sometimes he makes the Athiesm of Stephen Hawking look like one of Benny Hinn's revivals, I can't trust anything that man says concerning morality or the opposite gender. :)
