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.

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is also God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to earth, was born as a human baby to a human mother, but was conceived of the Holy Spirit. So when he lived on this earth he was both...
Overcoming Desire for Self-Preservation.
Again, Satan tempted Jesus to show that He is the Son of God by being protected from harm and thus death by throwing Himself off the Temple.
`Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If you...
From the Garden to this very moment, God has asked us to put His will ahead of our own (of course, we continually fail to do so). It is the basis of the Law. I fail to see how that can be dropped or changed.
I thought Jesus fulfilled the Law, becoming the Law, not abolishing it by doing only...
“O Lord, you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
you are stronger than I,
and you have prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all the day;
everyone mocks me.
For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, ‘Violence and destruction!’
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a...
Overcoming Desire for Self-Needs.
When Jesus started His ministry, He was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. He fasted for forty days, and then Satan, the devil came to Him. He tried to tempt Jesus to use His position as the Son of God for self-interest and not according to the...
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this...
After a moment, Hillariah asked, "How did you do that? How do you, how are you speaking now?" She them remembered the very huge insects that apparently spoke. "Have you been with other people speaking like us?"
The giant percher explained, "I and others like me have our own way of speaking to...
“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ‘Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words.’ So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked...
Satan`s Schemes.
When God created man, Satan was right there to interfere and try to control man. He tempted Adam and Eve to act apart from God – to be self-seeking. Once they did Satan continued to influence humanity. Over time the wickedness of man came to a head and God judged them with the...
Stating that the foundation of the church would be truth from only God was the beginning then and there in Caesarea Philippi of Jesus' church, and Simon, being a chip/piece (Peter) of that foundation, was the first to state God's truth. (Man likes to twist that because man doesn't like to be...
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
‘I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.’” (Jeremiah 17:9-10 ESV; see also Romans 2:6-8; Galatians 6:7-8)

The CHARACTER of the World System.
This World System is the sphere dominated by the prevalence of sin and is separated from God. The character of those in this World System is after Satan – proud and self-seeking.

Destructive Habits Often Overlooked
“Even if you ceased to love Me, I should always love you. Even if you no longer listened for My voice in the silence, I should still make it possible for you to hear Me. This is how every sinner finds Me waiting. Who could ever weigh My love, or set a price...
THE WORLD SYSTEM
The Origin.
When God created the angels He made a special angel called Lucifer. He had such beauty, splendor, with great wisdom. He was the anointed one that brought forth the praises and worship from the myriads of angels by the music that was created within him.
Lucifer was...
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season...
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he...
Remember those early days when you fit the mold of what it was the world expected you to be, both in the secular society and as a Christian? All along, the concept of the Kingdom has remained long hidden by the very religion that is supposed to expose it. Instead, institutional Christianity...
“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to...
