  • 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

Another school of eschatology in the world today is that of the Devil's human upper management. They see advancing technology as bringing in a new age offering the benefits of the biblical vision, but under their direction and control. Two of these are life extension and space colonization...
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he...
“For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from...
We all share a deep reverence for Scripture, but are we sometimes holding too tightly to specific words, ‘clinging to the letter. The variation in Mark 1:41, for instance, serves as a compelling example. We love the Bible. We rightly call it the inspired, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy...

The world which man has created in our own image, has a set pattern. We do things out of a tradition, based upon putting our own will ahead of the Will of the Father. Although mankind may not think of it, in doing so we are technically doing things backwards to the ways of the Kingdom. We were...
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather...

The produce in the garden was now showing, so Deseradar, Jecharon and Hillariah went there for each to gather some of it. Soon others of this settled group came and joined in gathering what was ready for it. There was a lot still that would mature later. Hillariah then told the others of the...
Some people ask, “Can God create a stone that is too heavy for Him to lift?” I satisfy myself by asking, “Can God be so truthful as to never lie?” “Can God be so just in His judgements such that he is ever merciful?” The source for the answers to all three questions come from seeing God’s...
“Seek good and not evil, that you may live; And thus may the Lord God of hosts be with you, Just as you have said! Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the gate! Perhaps the Lord God of hosts May be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” (Amos 5:14-15 NASB1995) In what ways should we...
“Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. “Husbands...
(all Scripture references are from the NKJV) Psalm 4:6-8 6 There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased. 8 I will both lie down in...
“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists...

continuing Steve Bannon was allowed to make a deal with the DOJ allowing him to avoid the trial and punishment for bilking people out of money to build the wall. Bannon pocketed it and doesn't need to pay it back. The Trump admin fired more than 300 employees of the National Nuclear...
“In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the...
“Hear the word of the Lord, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah. ‘What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?’ Says the Lord. ‘I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls...

I was reading a list at a website, the Midas Touch substack, and while I can't put in all 500 things they list, I will point out some of them. First, and this was not that list that I saw, is the doublespeak, or the things Trump claims to believe vs. what he does. During the campaign, he was...

How should we view U.S. policy towards Venezuela? In this blog I give some background in colonialism, a Christian perspective on achieving justice in foreign policy and implications of what can be expected to come in both the oil industry and other affects of the U.S. "running" the government of...
The voice of the Lord will call to the city— And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name: “Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time? 10 “Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed? 11 “Can I justify wicked scales And a bag of...
“Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures...
