  • 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.

Peace in Christ.

Again, we are to keep the holy commandment that is delivered to us: to come out from among them (the man-based churches) and be separate and not be attached to the unclean body of people who are keeping and serving their “images”…church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas…rather than God’s commandments that are written upon our hearts and minds.

They are "images" because men have copied the outside world's form of governing documents (such as constitutions) and placed them inside their churches where they worship God. These handwritings are established in their gatherings of the worship of God where they should not be found.

2Co 6:16-18 KJV
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

He shall redeem us from among men....among the man-based churches.

We shall then inherit the blessings of Abraham.

But first, we must “get out of our country and from our kindred and from our father’s house”.

That is, we must come out from among the man-based churches that the church fathers have instituted for us to attend. We must leave those church families behind (as they will not believe in the Word of Truth when they hear it).

We must leave them behind and go into the outside world…the earth that will then flow with milk and honey for us. He will then show us a "land"... that is, a EARTH,,,this earth... that is different than the one that we had experienced when we attended the churches of men.

Gen 12:1-3 KJV
(1) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land (earth) that I will shew thee:

Then God will bless us and we will be a blessing to the people of the outside world. In us, all families of the earth shall then be blessed.

(2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

When we go out from among them, the outside people of this world who do not know God shall rejoice in our very presence as His glory appears over us.

We shall shine before them as we are the light of the world in Christ.

Somehow, they perceive an appearing light in their hearts just by being present before our faces….just as Moses’s face did shine before the people.

This is not a literal shining but a shine of the light of Christ that they will perceive in their hearts from our mere presence (the presence of those who serve and worship God in spirit and truth). This appearing light will give them joy.

The “mountains and the hills” (leaders of the outside world) shall break forth into singing before us (at the presence of our faces)….as the glory of God appears over us and they perceive it. The “trees” (men are as trees) shall clap their hands.

Isa 55:12 KJV

(12) For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

They will be attracted to that light. They will run unto us because we are then glorified by God. They will run unto us because of the LORD our God and for the Holy One of Israel….that is, Jesus Christ.

Isa 55:5 KJV
(5) Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

The “heavens” are the people who know and serve their God…and the “lower parts of the earth” are those of the outside world who do not know God. The lower parts of the earth will rejoice in their hearts because of the glory of God that appears over us.

We shall be redeemed from among the churches of men and God will glorify us with His glory …and the outside world will see us and will rejoice. "Jacob" = the redeemed few that He will show mercy to.

Isa 44:23 KJV
(23) Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

The Lord gives us the “morning star”….that light that affects the hearts of those outside people of the world (the nations). They are in "deep darkness."

The “morning star” is that rising light in the hearts of the people who see us.

They…the people of the outside world who are sitting in darkness… will see us and have that light arise within them.

Rev 2:26-29 KJV
(26) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
(27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
(28) And I will give him the morning star.

(29) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

For behold, the darkness covers the earth. The outside people of this world who do not know God (who are in deep darkness) shall see the light of Christ through us.

They will see a “great light” when they see us….and they will come to that light as the glory of God appears over us and they perceive it within their own hearts. Their hearts will rejoice in our presence.

We shall be the "light of the world"...children of light..towards those outside people of the world who are in deep darkness.. They will be attracted to that light...to us.

Isa 60:1-8 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
(4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
(5) Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
(6) The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
(7) All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

(8) Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
