  • 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.

Perhaps if people dropped the human gentile notion of capital S satan and instead thought of it as an adversarial spirit/character within both elohim and humans as the Hebrew people did, the notion of an evil being will be left behind. Yes, God created a Tempter, but it has no power to MAKE us...
“There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to...
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.” (Matthew 5:13 NASB1995) We who profess faith in Jesus Christ are to be those who have died with...
(continuing on from part I) "The Word of the Lord came: 'Get up! Go and preach because wickedness has confronted Me.' However, Jonah got up to flee, He went and found a ship. He paid the fare and went," (Jonah 1: 1-3). When marriage became a hindrance to serving the Lord with a fully-committed...
A Heavy Blessing Getting old is one of God’s greatest gifts— a heavy blessing. This new body, unlike the old, limps sometimes, the back aches, and now there’s a balloon in my head. Yet I would not want to be a day younger. Each age I’ve passed through had its troubles; being young once was...
“Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose...

Trump is continuing his ranting and attempts to distract from the Epstein files and his involvement with Epstein. He seems desparate. This came to my attention: Today Trump did a press conference in Scotland. According to some pundits, he came off as "bat poop crazy". For...
“Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his...
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and...
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 God’s faithfulness in forgiving sins is a fundamental promise throughout Scripture. As written in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to...

The young sons in their simple home, Tenamod and Oriden, heard about the revelation from Yahweh right away. Yet soon enough they all went out as needed, where they could go gather of olives and berries in the area, and to check the walled garden area for how vegetable plants were growing now if...
“Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.” “The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.” (Psalm 119:155,160 NASB1995) Who are the wicked in the eyes of God? They are all who live wickedly, in practice. They are liars...
“Righteous are You, O Lord, And upright are Your judgments. You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness And exceeding faithfulness. My zeal has consumed me, Because my adversaries have forgotten Your words. Your word is very pure, Therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and...
“I have seen a wicked, violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found. Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity. But transgressors...
(the Scriptures below are from the NKJV. The text in brackets is mine] Deuteronomy 30:14,19 Romans 10:8-10 14 But the word is very near you, 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you in your mouth in your mouth and in your heart and in your heart that you may do it [the...
“The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct. Their sword will enter their...
“May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; But I shall meditate on Your precepts. May those who fear You turn to me, Even those who know Your testimonies. May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, So that I will not be ashamed.” (Psalm 119:78-80 NASB1995) Who are the...

In Revelation 13, two monsters or "beasts" appear, one of "the sea" and the other of "the earth". Eschatologists have proposed explanations for the sea and the earth. Some earlier Adventists proposed that the sea is the UK and the earth is the U.S. because Britain is isles of the sea and has...
