  • 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

hmmm i think we can marry the wrong person because we all make mistakes and a lot of us don't listen to God like we should and trust him. so yes, i think we can...BUT God works around our mistakes all the time. but that is kind of a trick question i guess because even if you marry the wrong person, you have now entered into marriage and now they have become the "right" person i guess......hmmm now i'm confused!!!

In Proverbs, it says trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding, but in all thy ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.

Next, 1 Corinthians 7 clearly states on marriage.

God hates divorce but if you can't live in peace thewn it calls to question things and decide.

It depends on what you mean by "wrong person." I can interpret it one of two ways: 1) marrying someone who is not well suited for you, or 2) marrying someone other than who God wanted you to marry.

1) is definitely possible, because we make dumb choices sometimes.

2) depends on if you believe in "the one" or not. "The one" is never promised anywhere in the Bible... but it is possible that God can give it as a gift.

Yes, I agree with this, and with what Leanna said. You probably could marry the "wrong" person, but once you're married you have made a covenant with that person and with God and you shouldn't break it, even if you THINK you married the "wrong" person.

It happens entirely too often.
I think the volume of troubled and dissolved marriages should give us pause to consider marriage more closely. Loving someone doens't mean getting married to them is a good idea. As elementary as that sounds no one ever considers the truth of it.

I think that it is possible to marry the wrong person if you are not in tune with what God's will is. Without God, it is possible to fall madly in lust and marry someone who may not be the best for you.
