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.

All I’m saying is Bob shared his story about his father. I would not go so far as to assign motives, reason, and destination of what happened on that visit. Bob can pray for him if he chooses, which is fine. But I just would not feel comfortable going that far myself as far as interpretation, etc. It’s just me.Um
The rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 came to mind for me.
I know my mother has a bedside visit from her grandmother before she knew she was dead but it was very short. Her grandmother told her to stay sweet.

Bob Crowley
He replied "Son, it's not for me. It's for you. It's too late for me ...." Then he added "If you don't (forgive me) you'll destroy yourself!"I had an abusive sister that I didn't talk to for 18 years. I think the best thing I did was to reconcile with her at my Dad's 80th birthday party. It made my dad happy and it was a relief for me too.

At first it was a relief not to have to deal with her abusive ways, but it looks like she's matured. Now, it's a relief to let go of the past and do as God wants me to do.

Came to my mind as well and the Lord would not permit him to ask for help for his brothers.All I’m saying is Bob shared his story about his father. I would not go so far as to assign motives, reason, and destination of what happened on that visit. Bob can pray for him if he chooses, which is fine. But I just would not feel comfortable going that far myself as far as interpretation, etc. It’s just me.

I assign hope til we enter Heaven and those not written in the book, will not be remembered.
There are no tears in Heaven.
But I like to err on the side of caution and pray.
Awww, she was saying goodbye.

Like I said, I do not have the same nerve as you. But I do not have the same gifts as you either. I’m sorry it came out wrong. That’s all I meant. I’m the (I don’t know girl. Consult your priest, etc.) lol

Yes. Unforgiveness can be a poison but mostly for those that have been wronged. It does not mean that you have to cozy up and not have healthy boundaries but it’s good to let it go and give it to God.

The criminals have quieted down my son said. I'm still praying for them, but a feeling of heaviness is around me. I do feel like I'm in a spiritual battle right now. I'm just going to have to suffer through it.

It helps me in these things to remember that the battle is not mine, nor is it dependent upon my power or strength.
We pray, but the battle is the Lord's.
You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD,
“My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;
He will cover you with his pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
~ Psalm 91:1-4

My son & family are moving up north (for many reasons, crime being one of them). I was sad about this and was in tears. Then my computer played "Turn, Turn, Turn". I was in the other room, but I could hear it. It was a great comfort.

THE ST. MICHAEL CENTER | St. Michael Center
You can sign up online at this website for an exorcism prayer session Oct. 16 at 7pm EDT. That is late for you in your time zone. You can sign in to see it the next day at your convenience. I said it last time. It's wonderful. I'm signing up for Oct. 16. The deacon at my church has been assigned to the St. Michael Center part-time.
The prayer session consists of Msgr Rossetti doing prayers of exorcism over us, and an assistant giving the responses with us.
