  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    I think it is a basically spiritual warfare thing, especially horrifying because I cannot walk away from it, it is in my home. Also difficult to seperate what is part of the spiritual warfare and what is life, if that makes any sense.

    I agree this stuff is real or we would not be warned against it. When it becomes part of your spouses life you cant get away from it. In my particular case he has received significant releif from chronic migraines. So any critism or concern about meditating at a specific time with a psychic...

    No, this is not overwhelming at all. I appreciate you taking the time. For me the truth and foundation of faith, as in the scriptures, are not overwhelming, the opposite in fact. The overwhelming part have been the challenges or questions that I have trouble addressing. .

    John N. Oswalt, NIVAC or NIV Application Commentary on Isaiah 14 and the Underworld

    I did take the time to read all of those passages. Makes me want to get a references for Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, I have always read death to mean physical death and or eternal separation from God because of sin, depending on the passage and the context of the verse itself. Also I believe most...
