  • 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.

Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do your will O God=The law and the prophets.

YOU ARE OUR EPISTLE WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS. (THE LOVE OF GOD/LAW WITHIN MY HEART.)

NOT WRITTEN WITH INK, NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, (HE TAKES OUT THE HEART OF STONE AND GIVES US AN HEART OF FLESH. Ezekiel 36:26.) IN FLESHY TABLES OF THE HEART.

THOSE WHO IN WELL DOING SEEK FOR GLORY AND HONOUR IMMORTALITY, ETERNAL LIFE, THE CONTENTIOUS OBEY NOT THE TRUTH, BUT OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, GLORY HONOUR AND PEACE TO EVERY MAN THAT WORKS GOOD.

AS MANY AS SIN WITHOUT LAW PERISH, AS MANY AS SIN IN THE LAW SHALL BE JUDGED BY THE LAW. (CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT CONTNUES NOT IN THE THINGS OF THE LAW TO DO THEM/no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH/CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree. Galatians 3:10-13.)

NOT THE HEARERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, BUT THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED.

THE GENTILES DO BY NATURE THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THE LAW, ARE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES, (THEY DO NOT HAVE THE LAW.) WHICH SHOW THE WORK OF THE LAW WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, THEIR CONSCIENCE BEARING WITNESS/IN THE DAY WHEN GOD SHALL JUDGE THE SECRETS OF MEN BY JESUS CHRIST. (WE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT BY THE HEARING OF FAITH, NOT BY BEING THE HEARERS OF THE LAW. Romans 2:13. Galatians 3:1-3.)





Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

2 Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Romans 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.




Israel being ignorant of God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the RIGHTEOSNESS of God, CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS, to EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVES.

MOSES DESCRIBED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, THAT THE MAN WHO DOES THOSE THINGS SHALL LIVE BBY THEM.

But the RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH speaks on this way, not saying in your HEART, WHO shall ascend into heaven, or WHO shall descend into the deep, but it says the word that is near to you, (IN YOUR HEART.) even in your MOUTH, and in your heart, the word of FAITH, that if you confess with your MOUTH, the Lord Jesus, and BELIEVE in your HEART that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS, with the moth confession is made unto salvation.)

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED, THE LORD IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM, FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.

HOW SHALL THEY CALL ON HIM IN WHOM THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED, HOW SHALL THEY HEAR, without a preacher. (THEY RECEIVED THE SPIRIT BY THE HEARING OF FAITH. Galatians 3:1-3.)

THEY DID NOT ALL OBEY THE GOSPEL FOR WHO HAS BELIEVED THE REPORT, SO THEN FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEAING BY THE WORD OF GOD.





Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.





THE COVENANT HE WILL MAKE WITH US, THE HOLY GHOST WITNESS, BY ONE OFFERING HE HAS PERFECTED FOREVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED, HE WILL PUT HIS LAWS INTO OUR HEARTS AND INTO OUR MINDS HE WILL WRITE THEM, AND OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES HE WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.

HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, HE WILL PUT HIS LAWS INTO OUR MIND AND WRITE THEM IN OUR HEARTS, NOT TEACHING EVERY MAN OUR BROTHER, FOR HE WILL BE MERCIFUL TO OUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND OUR SINS AND OUR INIQUITIES HE WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.

IN THAT HE SAYS A NEW COVENANT, HE HAS MADE THE FIRST OLD, THAT WHICH DECAYS/CEASES/PERISHES, READY TO VANISH AWAY. (MANNA IN THE LAW CEASED/PERISHED, THE MEAT THAT ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE THE SON OF GOD GIVES UNTO US.)





Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.




BUT IF WE ARE LED OF THE SPIRIT WE ARE OT UNDER THE LAW.

IF YOU DO WORKS OF THE FLESH YOU WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT (ORDAINED TO GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT THAT REMAINS/ GATHER FRUIT UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.) IS LOVE, GOODNESS, FAITH.

MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE, AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. THEY THAT ARE CHRISTS HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS, LIVING AND WALKING IN THE SPIRIT.

SANCTIFY THE LORD GOD IN YOUR HEARTS. HAVING A GOOD CONSCIENCE. GIVE AN ANSWER OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR. (MEEKNESS AGAINST WHICH THERE IS NO LAW/THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART/THAT SWE MAY KNOW, THAT THE FATHER IS IN HIM AND HE IS IN THE FATHER.)

CHRIST SUFFERED, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, TO BRING US TO GOD, PUT TO DEATH IN THE FLESH BUT QUICKENED BY GOD, BY THAT HE WENT AND PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON.

SOMETIMES THEY WERE DISOBEDIENT, WHEN ONCE GOD LONGSUFFERED AND HAD WAITED SINCE THE DAYS OF NOAH, SAVING THEM BY WATER, THE LIKE FIGURE BAPTISM NOW SAVES US, (GOD WAITED.) NOT THE PUTTING AWAY OF THE FILTH OF THE FLESH, ( NOT LAW/ARE YOU MADE PERFECT BY THE FLESH. Galatians 3:1-3.) BUT THE ANSWER OF A GOOD CONSCIENCE BY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD, GONE INTO HEAVEN AND IS ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, ANGES, AUTHORTITIES AND POWERS BEINF MADE SUBJECT UNTO HIM.







Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do your will O God=The law and the prophets.

The Messiah/Son of God delights to do the Fathers will, the Fathers law is within His heart.

The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be the girdle of His loins, (The Son of man, girt about the paps with a golden girdle, has on HIs clothing and on HIs thigh/the clothing of HIs thigh/girdle, a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 1:13/19:16.) and FAITHFULNESS the girdle of HIs reins. (I THE LORD TRY THE REINS, EVEN TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS, AND ACCORDING TO THE FRUIT OF HIS DOINGS. Jeremiah 17:10.)





Psalm 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Jeremiah 17:10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.







BELIEVE HIM THAT HE IS IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN HIM.

HE IS THE TRUE VINE AND HIS FATHER THE HUSBANDMAN, (Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me.)

Now we were CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH HE HAS SPOKEN UNTO US. ABIDE IN HIM AND HE IN US, AS THE BRANCH CANNOT BEAR FRUIT OF ITSELF, AND WE CANNOT EXCEPT WE ABIDE IN HIM.

HE IS THE VINE WE ARE THE BRANCHES, HE THAT ABIDES IN HIM AND HE IN HIM, THE SAME BRINGS FORTH MUCH FRUIT, WITHOUT HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING.

IF WE ABIDE IN HIM AND HIS WORDS ABIDE IN US, WE SHALL ASK AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO US. HIS FATHER IS GLORIFIED THAT WE BEAR MUCH FRUIT, SO WE SHALL BE HIS DISCIPLES.

THE SON LOVED US AS THE FATHER LOVED THE SON, WE CONTINUE IN HIS LOVE.

THE SON ABIDES IN THE FATHERS LOVE, AND KEPT THAT COMMANDMENT, AND WE SHALL EVEN ABIDE IN HIS LOVE AND KEEP THAT COMMANDMENT.

HIS COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS HE HAS LOVED US. THE GREATER LOVE IS TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. WE ARE HIS FRIENDS IF WE DO WHAT HE COMMANDS US. WE ARE CALLED HIS FRIENDS, FOR ALL THINGS HE HAS HEARD OF HIS FATHER HE HAS MADE KNOWN TO US

WE HAVE NOT CHOSEN HIM BUT HE HAS CHOSEN US, AND ORDAINED US THAT WE SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT AND THAT OUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN, THAT WHAT WE ASK OF THE FATHER, HE MAY GIVE IT UNTO US. (WE ASK FOR THE MEAT WHICH ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE, WHICH THE SON SHALL GIVE UNTO US, FOR HIM HAS THE FATHER SEALED/THAT WE SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT, AND THAT OUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN/NOT CEASE/PERISH, AS THE MANNA PERISHED/HE THAT REAPS RECEIVES WAGES, AND GATHERS FRUIT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL. John 4:36.)

THESE THINGS HE COMMANDS US, THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

HE IS IN US, AND WE ARE IN HIM, THAT WE MAY BE PERFECT IN ONE, AND THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIM AND HAS LOVED US, AND THE FATHER HAS LOVED THE SON.

FROM HENCEFORTH WE KNOW CHRIST NO MORE AFTER THE FLESH. GOD WAS IN CHRIST RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, NOT IMOUTING OUR TRESSPASSES UNTO US, AND COMMITED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. (THEREFORE IF ANY MAN IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY/CEASED/PERISHED, THE MANNA, THE LAW, BEHOLD ALL THIGS ARE BECOME NEW/EAT THE FLESH/THE MEAT WHICH ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, OR WE HAVE NO LIFE IN US, AND ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD, WHO HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, GIVING TO US THE MINISTRY/LAW OF RECONCILIATION.







John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

John15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.





HE GIVES US ONE HEART AND ONE WAY TO FEAR HIM FOR EVER. THE EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH US, HE PUTS HIS FEAR INTO OUR HEARTS, WE DO NOT DEPART FROM HIM. (THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD/THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART/I DELIGHT TO DO THY WILL/I DO ALWAYS THE THINGS THAT PLEASE THE FATHER/WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM/he that comes to God MUST BELIEVE he is a rewarder of those that DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. John 8:29. Hebrews 11:6)

A NEW COVENANT, NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT HE MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS, AND TOOK THEM BY THE HAND OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, WHICH THEY BROKE, THIS IS THE COVENANT HE WILL PUT HIS LAW INTO OUR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN OUR HEARTS, AND HE WILL BE OUR GOD AND WE SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE.

THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERY MAN HIS BROTHER, ALL SHALL KNOW ME FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST, AND HE WILL FORGIVE OUR INIQUITY AND WILL REMEMBER OUR SIN NO MORE. GOD SAYS IF THESE ORDINANCES DEPART, THE SEED OF ISRAEL SHALL ALSO CEASE FROM BEING A NATION BEFORE HIM FOR EVER. (Isaiah 34:4. Revelation 6:14.)


ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM, ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, BEWARE OF ANY MAN TO SPOIL US THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, FOR IN CHRIST DWELLS ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD, AND WE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, CIRCUMCISED WITHOUT HANDS, (WITHOUT A WRITTEN LAW.) IN OUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST.

WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM AND ALSO RISEN WITH HIM THROUGH THE FAITH OF THE OPERATION OF GOD, RAISING HIM FROM THE DEAD, AND QUICKENED US TOGETHER WITH HIM HAVING FORGIVEN US ALL TRESSPASSES, BLOTTING OUT ORDINANCES THAT WERE AGAINST US, TAKING THEM OUT OF THE WAY NAILING THEM TO HIS CRIOSS, MAKING A SHOW OF THEM OPENLY TRIUMPHING OVER THEM, LET NO MAN THEREFORE JUDGE US IN MEAT OR DRINK, OR HOLY DAYS OR OF THE NEW MOON OR OF THE SABBATH DAYS, ALL ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME, THE BODY IS CHRIST.(the son of man is lord even of the sabbath day/sabbath/a body you have prepared me. Matthew 12:8. Mark 2:28. Hebrews 10:5.)





Jeremiah 32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.





FOR THIS CAUSE WE BOW OUR KNEES UNTO THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED AFTER, (THE BODY IS OF CHRIST/THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH DAY/DAYS/SABBATH DAYS ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME. (Colossians 2:17.) THAT HE WOULD GRANT YOU ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY, TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT IN THE INNER MAN, THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH. (THE FATHER IN THE SON, THE SON N THE FATHER/THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART/I DELIGHT TO DO THY WILL O GOD.)

BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, (Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith.) MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS, BREADTH AND LENGTH, DEPTH AND HEIGHT, (Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.) AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST THAT PASSES KNOWLEDGE, ( KNOWLEDGE PUFFS UP CHARITY EDIFIES. 1 Corinthians 8:1 13:2.) THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD.





Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

You claim that the ancient Egyptians and Incas could not have used simple the stone masonry tools they had. That is your claim, and you cherry pick and ignore evidence that shows that they easily could have because you own incredulity does not allow you to even imagine it being possible.
This is a braod claim and assumption. You offer no evidence. I am open to the use of simple tools but not just because someone says so because that was the orthodoxy. Thats not good science. Especially if part of the investigation brings up out of place evidence. Likewise you should not just dismiss it as conspiracy and providence an explanation and evidence for why it is not out of place.

Sometimes the evidence or witness marks are just too strong to even think that traditional methods could have made them. There is just no possible way and the marks directly show another method. Like the sharp cuts I linked in images. Its not a case that somehow they used copper hand saws. As eventually they could.

Its that the witness marks look nothing like a copper saw and abrasion that grinds out the stone. But thin sharp faces, edges and cuts that are more like modern day signatures. Yet without the modern tech. This is the mystery.

You explain to me why these witness marks are more like copper hand saws and grinding abrasion then like machine cuts. How and why would they even bother to grind and rub a slab to have a thin lip in the shape of an arc. The lip much finer than any copper saw. Let alone the fact that grinding and abrasion never leaves such a fine sharp edge.

This is not conspiracy. These are real witness marks in the stones that even some on this site acknowledge they are real when they said they must be forgeries from modern times. All I am doing is saying they may not be forgeries from modern times and therefore out of place.
You made the claim on your Egyptian technology thread and you're still doing it now, and you've ignored all the evidence that shows you're wrong.
I think its the other way around. I must have linked these out of place witness marks many times and still no one has addressed whats going on. Only that they could have done it with manpower and tools that don't match at all the witness marks. If you think they do then show how. Don't just say they did. Explain exactly how with evidence.
All you have is poor speculation, cherry-picked evidence and claims a plenty...
Ah the out of place examples are the examples taken form the archeology of each site. Its not cherry picked but included as part of the overall marks in the stones. You can't ignore them as they stand out once you are open to looking with your eyes lol. Its a case of getting rid of all preconcieved ideas about how and just look at the marks in the rocks.
but ZERO evidence to support anything you've said.
Lol and I and many others think its overwhelming evidence of being out of place. Even the skeptics at least acknowledge they look like modern signatures when they say they are forgeries. Thus agreeing with me that they are out of place lol.

I keep saying this and it keeps being ignored. Just deal with the obvious out of place signatures. Are they modern forgeries or created by the traditional methods of copper hand saws, abrasions, chisels, pounders and rubbing. If so explain how the signatures don't match by the science. Give me science that shows traditional methods will create such signatures like routers, planers, circular saws,modern lathes ect.
Just saying "Oh, it looks exactly like modern tooling, ergo they couldn't have used ancient tools!" is not evidence nor even a good basis for evidence. It's just a claim from you and nothing more.
Why. Is that how science works. We see the marks on the item and try and work out what caused them. Like forensics on crime scenes. Heck they can tell what gun and bullet was used from the witness marks left on the bullet.

If you see what looks like a circular saw cut which even skeptics saw is a modern forgery. Then its the same science. Its seeing the witness marks and looking at what could have made them.

But you don't just assume that no matter what the marks look like that somehow they were made one way by the traditional way no matter what. Thats bad science. Just go with the science on the witness marks where ever it leads to.

That is why engineering and precision tooling or machinist and forensic sciences are best for this. Today we can get down to the micron level to find marks that will tell us what made them.

Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do your will O God=The law and the prophets.

The law and the prophets are not the law, that would be senseless, but the law and the prophets are what is written in the volume of the book about Christ, who delights to do Gods will.

This is also spoken of in Isaiah 65, of the men of Israel who when God calls them, do not answer Him, when God speaks they do not hear, but do evil before Gods eyes, and choose that which does not delight the Lord God.

God tells Israel by prophecy, ( Isaiah 65:12-17.) they shall leave their name for a curse unto His chosen, the Lord God will slay them and call his servants by another name:, and does this so he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from His eyes. ( of doing evil before HIs eyes, of choosing that which the Lord does not delight in.)

Now God says, behold, He creates new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (the former troubles are in the former heavens where satan was cast down from, and in the former earth where satan was cast down to, but the kingdom of heaven are the new heavens created which are within us and the new earth is when we meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord. Luke 17:20-21. 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Revelation 12:7-12.)

God says behold, His servant, who He upholds, HIs elect in whom His soul DELIGHTS, He has put His Spirit upon Him, He shal bring forth judgement to the Gentiles, He shall bring forth judgement unto truth (That he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth.) He shall not fail nor be discouraged till He has set judgement in the earth. (one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18.) and the isles shall wait for HIS LAW.)

The Lord says that He the Lord has called Him in righteousness, and will hold His hand, and will keep Him, and give Him for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, which is opening of the blind eyes, bringing out the prisoners out of the prison, and them that are sitting in darkness out of the prison house. The Lord is His name, and HIs glory He will not give to another. (O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. John 17:5.)

Behold His servant, whom He have chosen; His beloved, in whom His soul is well pleased. (I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things, He that sent me is with me, the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:28-29.)




Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isaiah 42:6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Isaiah 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Isaiah 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.





You have need that one teaches you again the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and NOT STRONG MEAT. Every one that uses milk is UNSKILLFUL in the WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. But STRONG MEAT BELONGS, ( in MY NAME , because YOU BELONG TO CHRIST. Mark 9:41.) to them who by reason of use, ( of STRONG MEAT/BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, IN HIS NAME.) have their senses exercised to DISCERN BETWEEN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL.

Jesus comparing the men of Israel to when they were in the wilderness, tells them they also seek Him now the same way, because they ate the bread and were filled. They ask what sign Jesus shows, similar to that of the manna their fathers ate as they quote how it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. (Exodus 16:4.)

Jesus had told the men of Israel not to labour for the meat that PERISHES, but that which ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE. (the manna they had received in the wilderness ceased/perished, the children of Israel had manna no more. Joshua 5:12.)

The people of Israel still wanted to know what they should WORK, to do the WORKS of God, Jesus answered them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, that you BELIEVE ON HIM WHO HE HAS SENT.




Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.



Jesus tells them again, HE THAT BELIEVES ON HIM HAS EVERLASTNG LIFE.

HE IS THAT BREAD OF LIFE. (that ENDURES unto everlasting life, and not as the manna they still trusted in, that ceased/PERISHED.)

The bread that came down from heaven, the LIVING bread, if any man shall EAT OF THIS BREAD, HE SHALL LIVE FOR EVER, the bead that He will GIVE IS HIS FLESH, He gives for the LIFE of the world. Jesus tells the Jews, EXCEPT THEY EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM.

Who eats His flesh and drinks His blood HAS ETERNAL LIFE, and He will raise him up at the last day, he that eats HIs flesh and drinks His blood, DWELLS IN HIM, and HE IN HIM. The LIVING Father sent Him, HE LIVES BY THE FATHER, so he that EATS HIM, shall LIVE BY HIM.





John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.






Jesus tells HIs disciples His MEAT, (STRONG MEAT.) is to DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT HIM. (I DELIGHT TO DO THY WILL O GOD.)

Jesus tells how the Father LOVES the Son and SHOWS Him ALL THINGS THAT HIMSELF DOES, and will SHOW Him GREATER WORKS than these that we may MARVEL.

Jesus tells again, he who HEARS His word, and BELIEVES ON HIM THAT SENT HIM, has EVERLASTING LIFE, (the meat that ENDURES UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE.) and SHALL NOT COME INTO CONDEMNATION, but is PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE.

(WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE, BECAUSE WE LOVE THE BROTHERS, he that does not love his brother, ABIDES IN DEATH.)





John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.





Christ took part in FLESH AND BLOOD, (EXCEPT THEY EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, THEY HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM. Who eats His flesh and drinks His blood HAS ETERNAL LIFE, and He will raise him up at the last day, he that eats His flesh and drinks His blood, DWELLS IN HIM, and HE IN HIM.) that THROUGH DEATH He might DESTROY him that had the POWER OF DEATH, the devil, and DELIVER them who through fear of DEATH, were all their lifetime SUBJECT TO BONDAGE.

He that COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, the devil SINNED from the BEGINNING. The Son of God was MANIFESTED that He might DESTROY the WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

Who is BORN OF GOD, does NOT COMMIT SIN, he cannot sin BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. The children of GOD ARE MANIFEST, and the children of the devil, WHOSOEVER DOES NOT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT DOS NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER. This is the message we have HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, that we should LOVE one another. (the devil SINNED FROM THE BEGINNING.

Cain was of that wicked one and killed his brother. Because Abels works were righteous, Cains were evil and killed his brother. (THE SON OF GOD TOOK PART IN FLESH AND BLOOD, THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS THE DEVIL/AND DELIVER THEM WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE SUBJECT TO BODAGE/SIN/FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFSTED THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL/DESTROY SIN.)

Who hates their brother, ( As Cain of that wicked one/in evil works.) is a murderer, ( as Cain.) and we know NO MURDERER HAS ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN THEM. Hereby we PERCEIVE THE LOVE OF GOD, because He LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US, and we should LAY OUR LIVES DOWN, for the brothers.





Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Who mapped it ? Antarctica with it's huge ice walls circumferences the earth, What else keeps the ocean's bound up ?

Just as a door keeps what is inside from spilling out, God's barriers keep the waters where He wants them.

Proverbs 8:28
when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth, when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command,
But Proverbs 2:28 is talking about the sea generally, not just about the sea around Antarctica. Antarctica is not specifically mentioned in the bible.

Judge Sara Ellis is allowing the deposition of Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino to expand to FIVE hours (she'd limited it to 2), and she wants to hear about use of force by CBP in Little Village this week.

If you have a circumference you always have a curvature. Circumference is used to measure circles or any other curved object. You can’t use the formula for circumference on a flat surface.
I think Apple Sky believes the earth to be a flat disc. Isn't the circumference of a disc pi times twice the radius? I seem to remember the formula: C = 2 pi r (can't find the pi symbol!)

Bots...

I have regularly noticed that the number of actual forum members online at any time is far surpassed by the number of "visitors". (Currently I see that the number of members online is 50 and non-member visitors is 6,129) From what I have read online, this large number of visitors is almost certainly mostly an army of bots (Of course, I could be wrong about this forum -- maybe there are just a lot of visitors who are browsing without loggin in).

Concerning bots, I've noticed that various forums on the internet use a variety of effective tools to check for and eliminate them. What is Christian Forums doing concerning this?
If you search (duckduckgo) for “Are bots posting on forums?” Your post comes up on the first page.

There seems to be good bots and bad bots. Your post was probably found by a good bot and added it to the search. Most bots are just mining for data to train AI and for marketing research of trends. Bad bots are looking for personal data and pretending to be human. Bots account for a large portion of traffic. I would also like to know what CF is doing about it.

Ways to deal with being 31 and never having a relationship after improving

All relationships are the result of investment. That’s why people come together and their reasons for doing so differs. Women choose the men they’re willing to work for and that’s the why behind her yes. She knows the bulk of the cooking, domestic duties and childrearing fall on her in addition to employment. It takes more than looks to encourage someone to step into that role and remain in place.

Once upon a time that’s all she had. But we’ve been to the mountaintop and discovered other ways of being and doing things. I don’t mean that in a sinful context. The formula works for some and others need different ingredients and outcomes and that’s okay. Everyone doesn’t need to have a white picket fence in a cozy suburb to be content. It’s okay to prefer a condo in the city or something in the countryside or living as digital nomads and so on. That’s the beauty of this period.

I think we’ll see a shift in demands. Not their obliteration per se. But a collective response to things occurring in our country and the feedback we’re witnessing in this space. I expect a message to emerge that encourages greater financial autonomy and providing oneself the spoils instead of relying on another.

~bella

Except for childbearing, I can see the dilemma. I'm living it like a single parent, doing domestic duties, caregiving, in addition to my day and night job.

I also don't think the gender roles are fixed / inflexible in the Bible. Needs to be understood in the right context.

Jesus often rebuked the Pharisees in their literal, fixed, and inflexible understanding of scriptures. There's no wiggle room for context.

I expect a message to emerge that encourages greater financial autonomy and providing oneself the spoils instead of relying on another.
I agree in both secular and Christian context. It's better to have options especially if you end up marrying a bad person or the unfortunate chance of the other dying.

There are conflicting messages but ultimately, we're not supposed to waste most of our life trying to influence just one person to become better.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

There is a "church" that is defined exactly as you are saying. The philosophies you are promoting, are in line with 2000 years of tradition practiced by this religion/religious system/"church" or as Paul called it, "The course of this world".

I do not, nor have I implied, that I believe the "Church of God" is made up of thousands of religious sects and businesses. Just because you say something, or believe something, doesn't make it true.




No, that is your opinion of me based on malice and "tale bearing". My understanding of Scripture is that the Body of Christ are believers who are "doers of His Sayings", not hearer only. These are those who will endure to the end and die in hope that God will raise them from the dead and give them life eternal.




This is true. But remember, not everyone who calls Jesus Lord, Lord, are part of this Body.




Of course not, but according to the Jesus, "of the Bible's, Words the members of God's Church will grow among liars and false converts and scammers of every kind until HE separates the tares from the wheat. Then, in the final judgment, the tares will be cast into a fire that burns forever, and the tares will be destroyed with an everlasting destruction, never to exist again in God's Creation. While the wheat will be saved unto eternal life. At least, this is what Jesus teaches.

The philosophy that God doesn't destroy wickedness, but preserves it for eternity even though HE has the power to destroy both body and soul, is popular no doubt. But I simply doesn't align with what the Scriptures say, when all God's Word in taken into consideration, in my understanding..




This is true. The children of the devil will transform themselves into apostles of Christ, they will be "many" that "Come in His Name", and "call Him Lord, Lord". But they won't be "doers" of the Christ's Sayings. HE said we can know them by their works.



This is true.



The mainstream preachers of Jesus time slandered Him for believing all that was written in the Holy Scriptures. The mainstream preachers of Paul's time slandered him for believing all that was written in the Holy Scriptures. And now you are slandering me for believing all that is written in the Holy Scriptures.

Perhaps you should step back and consider these things.



Yes. Now if men would only believe Him.

John 8: 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye "shall die" in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye "shall die" in your sins.

The promoters of this world's religious system teach that men with "Live in their sins" for eternity.

Jesus doesn't teach this.



Again, I posted God's Words that speak to "Life and death", which show that they are opposite endings for all humans. And God alone grants them. This world's religions promote a philosophy that they are the same, that both death and life, mean "After Life". As the scriptures that I and others have posted, this interpretation, though in line with 2000 years of church history, does not reflect God's definition of this things, when all of His Words are taken in consideration.



You judgment of me is your private interpretation.
None of your private opinions are based on Biblical truth. You believe that Devils are members of Christs Body, but you haven't shown a single verse to support your theory.

I can't imagine the Lord allowing Demons to be a part of His Body. It would help if you identify the scriptures which support your theory.

My Bible tells me that the Lord has no fellowship with Demons, so I must disagree with you again. Everything I read from you,, reveals that your theology is unbiblical and strange. You claim to believe Gods Word, but you have been denying everything He said.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

But I don't just say 'modern' on its own. I will usually qualify this as "like modern machining or CNC". You take that to mean that I am actually equating it to be the modern machines and computers we have today.

I have even specifically stated this. That it would be silly to say there was actually modern machinary like today as it would be everywhere by the amount of out of place signatures. I have clarided this adequate enough for you to know that is not what I meant.

Then stop using the word 'modern' then.

Stone masons themselves say its impossible.

Evidence? Quote someone then.

Do you think I have not researched this?

Yes, I very much doubt that you have. You just claiming that they are out of place is not evidence for them being out of place nor evidence for anything else, except for showing your own personal incredulity on the matter.

Even that article doesn't prove hes s fascist. There are words like can, or words like I believe. But nothing listed that is actually facistic. I believe one thing mentioned was the Supreme Court, something presidents have been doing for ever. I suppose they were all facists? No real evidence at all.
If we all are going to be honest, the Biden administration was more fascist than Trump's second term. I mean, people were arrested for not wearing masks on an empty beach.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

Oh you didn't say anything about electronic tools, but when you use the word 'modern', then I and others have no other reason to not assume that you're talking about electronic tools.
But I don't just say 'modern' on its own. I will usually qualify this as "like modern machining or CNC". You take that to mean that I am actually equating it to be the modern machines and computers we have today.

So look up traditional stone masonry then. Look up how they do things without modern tools. It can be done, easily and handily, especially when a person's entire job is simply to cut stone into shapes for a living.
Stone masons themselves say its impossible. We are not talking about the ability of the craftmanship of the stone mason within the limits of the tools he is using. Obviously they cannot do it by bear hands as with say clay pottery. So tools make the difference.

So its not all just stone masons hands but tools. Modern stone masons use grinders and produce beautiful vases. Though not precise. Lathing takes it to another level that stone masonary cannot achieve with just copper chisels, pounders and rubbing.

The Egyptians proved this with the Bore Stick which is sort of like a lathe. They did not grind and rub vases into circular shapes and the better the whel or lathe the better the end product.

Most people on this thread naturally assumed high symmetry and circularity to be the product of a lathe. So if there is no lathe and there is high symmetry and circularity then the question comes up. How did they achieve what is the product of lathing and pretty good lathing when there was no lathe. How did they achieve these arc cuts and smooth finishes that look like modern signatures and not grinding or abrasion.
You want to be a skeptic, that's fine, but actually make the attempt to learn the basics about what you're skeptical about first. Otherwise you look like a fool.
Do you think I have not researched this. Part of the investigation is the evidence for what is currently the consensus. What actual tools were found, and what methods are said to be used. You can't compare the out of place signatures unless you know what the tradional methods and narrative are.

Letita Jamews indicted for fraud

Evidence appears to undercut claims against Letitia James, prosecutors found: Sources


Prosecutors expressed their concerns in a memo last month, sources said.


Prosecutors who investigated New York Attorney General Letitia James for possible mortgage fraud found evidence that would appear to undercut some of the allegations in the indictment of James secured earlier this month -- including the degree to which James personally profited from her purchase of the property -- according to a memo summarizing the state of the case in September, sources told ABC News.

Prosecutors who led the monthslong investigation into James' conduct concluded that any financial benefit derived from her allegedly falsified mortgage would have amounted to approximately $800 in the year she purchased the home, sources said.

The government lawyers also expressed concern that the case could likely not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt because federal mortgage guidelines for a second home do not clearly define occupancy, a key element of the case, according to sources.

In Luke 4 does Jesus know He is God and does Satan?

In Luke 4, Jesus is tempted being asked, "If you are the Son of God" did Jesus know for certain who He was, and did Satan?

I always thought Satan did and he was testing Jesus faith in Himself. But I read Gregory of Nyssa thought that it was Satan who was not sure.

Jesus had the most faith, and seeing is not believing but knowing. In John we read He was sure He came down from Heaven and had seen the Father, also He prayed and knew who to make His 12 disciples...
Luke 4 also contains a passage which shows that demons knew Who Jesus Christ is:

“33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”” (Lu 4:33-34 NKJV)

If the demons knew, surely the "arch-demon" Satan knew too.

BUSTED - 12 False theories refuted:

The Church claims billions of believers and considering that Judaism rejects Christ they might very much have a problem with such a mass number of Christians entering their boarders little lone as future citizens.
I was trying to work out what "little lone as future citizens." It was only when I read it out loud, that i realised you probably meant to type: "let alone as future citizens." I should add that I am certainly not criticising - I often look at my posts from the past, and see much worse typos. :)
