  • 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.

I was in an online group yesterday when suddenly one starts this meditation technique and talking hypnotically at the same time I was muted out. So I just wrote in my notebook the following, with prayer and as a prayer:

I meditate on THY Word O
יהוה my Strength and my Redeemer. I renounce any Kundalini spine serpent stuff, and turn into the, O Jesus my Saviour, for guided meditation is new age stuff - Strengthen me O LORD, great El Shaddai, reveal yourself in earth as in heaven, Ruach HaQodesh רוח הקדש Holy Spirit, thou art my life and breath which cometh of Elohim; Come Lord Jesus, for you shall give me an expected end, knowing your thoughts toward me are for good, not evil, for your ways are not my ways, yours are past finding out. O how great is the knowledge of thee, and I can but know a fragment of thy greatness. Bless you LORD for thy abundant mercies, in Jesus name, Amen.
Deny self; God has the ability to create; I renounce magic, and abilities, and powers, except that which is the gift of God.

Note from today on this: Oh, how they deny Christ with this eastern and new age religion - then try to throw the Bible glibly and loosely into it, as if it's just another religious book about a path some might take, but choose what you want, because they think it's all the same in the end?
The soothing soft hiss of the serpent is offset by the rattle and the swiftness of the strike and the deadly venom thereof!

I will pray for this group, that they turn to Christ. Is the online group "labeled Christian"?

No, but there are a few "Christians" there. I think someone needs to speak up, or offer their own "prayers" and I might be the one, idk.

You might want to pull this verse out, as some Christians in that group seem lukewarm. Me personally, I would avoid talking with the group and cut ties, unless you joined with the intention to convert them:

In Revelation 3:15-16, Jesus warns the church in Laodicea for being lukewarm in their faith and for not realizing that they are poor, blind, and naked.

Revelation 3:15-16 (NIV): "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
