• 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.

It's Satan working though these people and agencies.
It could just as easily be the adversarial (satan) spirit of man to the will of God doing what comes naturally to the self absorbed. Yet just like Eve misdirecting blame, man wants to blame some outside entity of the AD era. Satan means adversary to the will of God (as Jesus called Peter), a way of being, common to man and elohim alike.

There's only two spirits and we are either with God, or be default against. Matthew 12:30

To take it a step further...

Genesis 3: 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Eve blamed an outside satan but Adam (as the image above suggests) rightly blamed Eve, a human, instead of dumping responsibility on an outside force. Man has the same adversarial power to resist the will of God, as the image shows.

It's Satan working though these people and agencies. He has everyone in his pocket- how else is he going to pull off no buying and selling for God's faithful.
Maybe someone should tell those agencies that there is a superhuman personal being working through them.
Could it be that they're just motivated to make as much money as they can.

Is not man capable of being adversarial to the will of God on our own?

Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV​

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
