  • 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 made a controversial decision awhile back. I gave up a female friend who wanted to stay friends. Let's just say I had my reasons but I also don't think she's bad at all and wish her really well. I asked God for a vision if I did the right thing. Then I saw a burning building crumbling to the ground and a woman like the statue of liberty standing strong. I was expecting a lot more vision than that but yeah.

It's complicated and I'd rather not get into it. I felt I was sinning in my own way by continuing the conversation. I could explain further, but it's messy.

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of Feminism.

Hmmm... whatever your reasons were:

Burning Building Crumbling To The Ground
suggests the relationship was not build on a good foundation, and may have also been in danger of eventually being destroyed by anger somehow (suggested by the symbolism of fire).

Statue Of Liberty would be interesting, as she still holds out the invitation of welcome, should any (i.e. you) be interested.

But that's a complete guess since the vision is, as you say, rather vague. I'd have to know more about the past relationship to give you anything with certainty.

Feel free to contact me if it's something you'd like to discuss.

I'd be willing to discuss it if necessary.

HOWEVER, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Well then let's discuss it.

Dreams and visions, if they are truly from God, are meant to instruct and guide. They're similar to prophecy in that they direct believers to make wise decisions in response to situations. Seems like there's more there if you want to talk about it.

You may PM me as to "why you did that with her" as well, if you like...

God Bless!

HEY! I just remembered something. Today was your day to hear from the courts. How did that go?

I'm going to spill everything while still not naming names.

I fell in love with a Celibate woman who wanted to be friends and I felt I was sinning by pursuing her. I felt our friendship didn't feel right. We fought a lot. I have been ignoring her, but I'm removing her from my Ignore list now. However I'm not sure if me and her can be friends.

What I did may sound bad, and it is. But I was having some very deep emotions and fears and I ran away from them. Just side with both of us 50-50.

I see. Yeah, not always easy having strong feelings for someone who is just hoping to be friends. Trust me, I know. But spend some more time praying to God about it. Ask Him if there isn't a way where He can help you to be happy with just being friends with her, so long as that is the way she still feels. Seems a shame to lose her friendship, especially when she is still offering it to you.

HEY! I just remembered something. Today was your day to hear from the courts. How did that go?
Well, had my arraignment, I'll get and get to know what court appointed attorney I'll get on friday, then, schedule an appointment and meet with him, and he should be able to give me some kind of idea as to how much jail time I'll get...

I found someone to take and take care of my animals and someone to pay my rent on my place till I get out and pay them back, as long as it's not too much time, they informed me that the maximum is one year in jail, but, they rarely give anyone the maximum in my state, I'm hoping it will be shorter rather than longer, like 30 days, or less than sixty at least, and I should still be able to keep everything I have right now, and won't have to start all over, which is what I was primarily worried about...

Thanks for asking, I'm gonna post this there too...

God Bless!

Neogaia, that's fantastic to hear! Sounds like you took all the right steps. Please keep praying, and keep us all informed and praying too. Hopefully it won't be long. And keep remembering, He sees ALL of what you're going through. He knows, so just keep praying that He takes care of you.

God bless you, my brother,
and very happy to read your post.

Any idea on what the vision would mean, if anything?

I think it means leave her be.

It's usually the underlying message the meaning of dreams. The Statue of Liberty unknown to many also signalled the birth of modern feminism and one of the things about feminism is the independence of women.

Her being celibate ties up to this. I'm not saying she's a feminist but using a feminist symbol is a strong message for you to leave her alone.
