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 are often considered dreamers because we don't like this world we have made in our own image. That means we don't like us and that can make a lot of enemies, not because we want to, but because others resent our dislike of who we are. But to many, the dream (the Kingdom) makes sense, while...
Interesting week. It culminated in a military parade in D.C., and about 2000 rallies to protest Trump and his policies. This is my favorite image from the Philadelphia rally via HuffPost):
Some on the right cannot see why these rallies were needed and may ignore the fact that millions...
The Bible, from front to back, is about following the Will of God, not of man. Anyone claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit will be known by their works which diametrically oppose the self serving will of man. As Jesus said, servitude to the Father and to all in need. No 'self' involved.
"Thy...
Jesus said He did nothing of His accord, only the will of the Father, as should we. Neither Jesus nor we are to do anything of our own accord, other than what is directed. We are free to decorate that cake any way we want (as Adam once named what was in the Garden), but the recipe is the...
Once upon a time, early institutionalized religion deemed it unwise for the populace to have access to scripture. They were partially right because scripture used improperly could detract from the original meaning. They decided, in order to control the narrative, they would promote their own...
“But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I...
“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give...
The great worm said, "I hear and know what is said, it comes into my mind, and I know."
Deseradar responded, "You can? We have met no others who could hear and know what is said with their mind."
Fisepel said, "But we have. Those tiny creatures we each have in an ear are doing that, and we...
We, for the most part, have heard of the phrase 'going to hell in a handbasket'. In this present age there are some who think we are making great progress in achieving this utopia mankind seeks, both in religion and outside of it. One need only look in this now receding generation, back at a...

“Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be...
“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of...
“Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life...
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who...
There have always been those of the Kingdom (not to be confused with religion) and those of the world. Today with all the human chaos and fighting over rights instead of responsibility to each other, those of the Kingdom are either mocked or seen as threats. Not for their physical actions of...

how our heavenly Father communicated to Israel and the
world about what it means...
Habakkuk, who was a prophet of God in Old Testament times, was having a conversation with God with regard to all the evil that was going on among his people. There was violence, iniquity, wickedness, destruction, strife, contention, the commands of God being ignored, justice not being upheld...
