• 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.

  • 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

So I was on another Christian Forum, and meet a wonderful godly woman, she was a totally Proverb 31 woman, let her know about it too. Things were going fine maybe better, but...

Than I read something she wrote, and I let the devil really trip me up. I misread it, and instead of politey asking what she meant, I just pulled out the Bible (my Sword) and use my offensive weapon too cut deeply and wrongfully. I mean what I wrote was so full of venom, I think I could have literally taught the devil how to be cruel. She challenge me on this and if it wasn't bad enough what I had written to her, I offer a guarded apology. Really all I want to do right now is to offer a genuine apology of how sorry I'm, but I asked the site to cancel my account, and/or banned me. So now I can't even tell her how truly sorry I'm that I was a total Troll/Tool x infinity. We all talk about physical abuse but verbal abuse at times can really be must more damaging.

Words really can hurt people, especially when we as Christian let the devil start talking about a brother or sister in Christ, instead of telling him to shut up. Because if we listen to him, we start to agree with his lies and become the devil advocate. Please pray for God mercy toward me, and especially to this young lady. Because of this incident that happen just over a week ago I'm spiritually sick with myself, I know better than this
II Corinthians 2:11.

Please take this as a warning and don't allow yourself to fall for this favorite tactic of the devil, the only one who wins in this situation is the devil.

Satan will never win because God crushes him under His feet (Romans 16:19).

Anyway, I'll pray for you, and you pray to God too for forgiveness, because that is how you triumph over evil. By always relying on our Lord, who is good. Blessed be His name, forevermore, and bless you too.

Everyone says things in a moment of frustration/anger/etc. that they don't mean and would never say any other time. Mistakes happen, everyone slips up in their words. I would say that you are being too hard on yourself. Please don't misunderstand me, there's nothing wrong with feeling about or sorry about misspeaking or hurting someone but you shouldn't beat yourself up like this over just a one time event, it's not good for your psyche to beat yourself up over things like this.
