  • 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.

Was busy moving and preparing for a long trip, so I missed last week. With Trump, there is always something that is negative. For all that Trump and Republicans complained about Biden's age, it is odd they are ignoring the signs of dementia in Trump. We are told he only sleeps 4 hours...

What does the tradition of Christmas teach children? Even with the knowledge of the birth of Jesus and who He was, has it remained a good thing or like everything else, has a subtle twist occurred that benefits the Adversary? Even without idolizing all the dazzle and hoopla, what does the...
For Missionaries in Jewish circles:The Old Testament and the notion of who is a Jew The purpose of this post is to show that the key pillar of rabbinic Judaism—Jewish status through the mother (matrilineal descent)—is not rooted in the biblical text. If the foundational premise is false...

Others there agreed, and ideas for what might be used in any further story being developed were traded around. Soon after the gathered people of this small settlement departed to each go to their own of the simple homes that were recently built, and had lasted through the great storm that had...

Christmas. The season of good will, peace on earth and other dreams. A time of decorations and celebration and of giving. Oh, how we like to give and get those presents. We've built an entire custom out of giving and receiving in the form of Santa Claus, and using commercialism to create the...

I heard on some news that I listen to that many pro-Trump X posts were from mostly Asian and African countries. So I tried to look up more about that. One article I found was this: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/27/pro-trump-x-twitter-accounts-based-in-asia When X rolled...

"Once the bag was pulled all the way up out of the canyon from above, Jaffa then climbed out herself, that same way. So they were out from the canyon before the huge snake returned. They both went on the way back to their home, with that filled bag and the woven rope. They had seen that where...

I have been moving for the last two weeks so I didn't get to do this last week. Hopefully I am not moving again for a looong time. It is exhausting. Many Americans are not buying Trump's lies. His approval is at an all-time low for him. People know that grocery prices are up, and...

Jesus was not a Christian. He was Jewish. His original followers were Jewish only. These Jewish disciples, followers and Apostles remained Jewish. Nor did He come to create a religion, but to fulfill not only OT scriptures, but to further God's agenda in overcoming adversity. His priority was...

Eschatology Note # 10 - DLF Humanity has for centuries been viewing the heavens - outer space - for "signs" or indicators meaningful to us. Nowadays it is no different and star-gazing is enhanced by more powerful optical telescopes on earth and in space, and radio-telescopes that can receive...

Some of the ideas we have in our minds that do not seem to directly relate to eschatology can nevertheless affect how we think about it. One of them is the difference in outlook of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews that contrasts Greek philosophy with a biblical outlook. One particular difference...

"The sisters slowly lowered themselves briefly behind the berry shrub where they had peeked through the branches, to be more out of sight, and stayed still, not moving at all. There would be no way they could overcome such a huge snake, and it would be all over if the snake found them. "They...

I saw that Lenny Wilkins passed away at the age of 88. My husband and I moved to Seattle in 1977 and left at the end of 1981. While there, we enjoyed watching the Seattle SuperSonics play basketball and became fans. We watched the SuperSonics, under Wilkins, become National Champions on...

The 2025 election was wonderful for the Democratic Party! Republicans try to dismiss the No Kings protests but those huge protests and how the elections went. Democrats won in Mississippi and Georgia besides Virginia and New York. Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in...

The Bible is an ongoing record of God's frustrations, and His plan to deal with the rebellious who prefer an adversarial spirit to following His will. This, as we all learn to participate as workers with awareness, in a creation that is necessarily built upon opposites, including good and evil...

"Eva and Jaffa watched between the thickly leaved branches of the berry shrub among many more of those. Jaffa had been right, the snake was returning and was in sight soon. The snake was wide bodied and its length was more than the heights of Eva and Jaffa together. They remained still and did...

Donald Trump is not a king. The folks organizing the protests do not say he is a king. But he is behaving like one and the Republicans in congress are not stepping up to stop it. Why do I say he behaves like a king? After watching John Stewart this week, it became obvious. Check out...

Trump was asked about the No Kings protest and said: "I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country, and I looked at all the brand new signs paid for. I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics," the president said. "It looks like it was worth checking...
