• 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.

We have no choice but to continue carrying the cross of the karmic memory that the universe makes us day after day, second by second.
Not for the one who worships the Creator over His creation. The universe doesn't speak or do anything of itself. It only does as the Creator speaks or acts through it. That includes us - made in His Image.

And Good News... He is knowable! And has made a path to Him and eternal life through His Son - Jesus Christ.

I had never heard of karmic memory so I looked it up. The cross the Christian has to carry is nothing to do with karmic memory:

“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” (Mr 8:34 NKJV)

Yeah, but when one is born again by the Holy Spirit, they are disconnected from the cycle of reincarnation and live according to the saying "one life and then the judgment."

Our fate becomes tied to the new heaven and the new earth, so the karma of the universe is of no effect in Christianity.

Matthew 11
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Be blessed

The Cross is the Key which opens the gate to heaven. We happy to carry that Cross.

Praise God
