• 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.

So, my parents, are getting kinda old, and my father has beginning Alzheimers perhaps, the doctor suspected it, I think, but he won`t talk about it, but my parents have had some dementia for a while, normal for people when they get older, but I`ve noticed something, when they get excited by something, or interested, in something, the dementia is less, or almost gone also, so I had this theory for a while that dementia is really just loss of interest in things, when we live in a society which all surroundings are articifial, and not like when we lived in nature, and people do the same everyday also, you can start to lose interest, like losing interest in that way that you slowly decade, most people just get bored from it all, but some, decade, like a process of losing interest until you die, but my point was, I think the reason people thought Jesus could heal, was because he sparked people`s interest again, like a dement person would gain interest again because there finally was something happening, and you know, when you feel good and motivated, your other health issues would be less also, the soul heals the body, so sometimes when my parents look at me, with a little dementia, they are suddenly normal again, and that comes from my being, the person that I am, I`m not the biggest person, but I spark some interest because of everything I do,

the real cure for dementia, and other health issuses, lies in us all I think, to make the world not so boring

Jesus healed people because that was what was prophesied in The Tnaakh that The Messiah would do. To show the nation of Israel, that Jesus was who He said He was The promised Messiah from the prophecies of The Tanakh.

And likewise to show the effects of the gospel--the spiritually blind, lame, deaf and dumb will see, walk, hear and speak by God's spiritual power in raising them from spiritual death to eternal life.

I thought my dad would be alot more senile than he was. He worked right up to 86 when he retired. With President Reagan it was obvious he had Alzheimers long before they admitted to it. Of course it is legendary the Bidden has more then one loose screw. It is becoming almost impossible to cover up.
