• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

A new CF, an old vision (4)

Except many people will tell me youre not a true christian because you don't believe this fraud is a true prophet. It works both ways.
Oh would you GET over it already, I never said that to you and you know it. Leave that for THAT forum will you?

Here have a cookie and some tea. That fixes just about anything :)

Who will a child hear? The screaming parent who terrifies them with a whip? How long with their obedience last?

Until the moment they are out of site and away from the screaming parent. Then they will walk the path they choose and sometimes not so great. But the loving parent, the loving mentor who shows them the way by example and by precept is heard and the child sits at their feet because it is a blessing to be near them. The love that endures carries them when they are away and through out life.

If you frighten God's children away, you will be equally accountable.
Tell that to the guy who drags his kids to view this thread to teach them about Christian love.

And humble too.
Do I lack humility because I know that I am loving? I know I am loving because that is my mission in life and my focus. It was a statement, not a boastful declaration.

drstevej knows EXACTLY what I am referring to. :D

A true prophet KNOWS for SURE that God's truth is true. While a prophet who is a fraud wants the title and proclaim to know the truth when it is false. 1 John 4:1 (NIV) [ Test the Spirits ] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. God will judge those who are false and the Holy Spirit helps us discern.

I feel that the Holy Spirit is moving. We must discern it!

The problem with that analogy is that just about every Christian I have ever met keeps moving this so called “bridge.”

Have a nice trip, enjoy the view.

So. What's the consensus from the "End of the world camp?" Who's the biggest threat to CF? The evil mormons, the permissive pagans, the nasty non-nicenes, the skeptical atheists or the dolphin spouses?
:scratch:


"Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more,
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.

Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters,
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.

People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to
live it. There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend."

Maybe, you are losing your religion but finding spirituality and peace with God rather than dogma that weighs the spirit down? Just a thought. Wacky I know but you know me :D
