• 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.

Do you believe there was no reason for God to sacrifice his only son?
Did I ever say that?

We know His death put the proverbial nail in the judgement coffin for the devil and his messengers.

Everything that is serves Him
Arbitrary in the sense there is no qualitative difference. Both would be equally obedient to his command and in this sense things like morality and justice operate as superficial illusions.

Serious question:

Have you ever joined forces with others across the country and mentally concentrated on approaching tornadoes to dissipate them?
I'll bet sometimes it works.

IF you think about it there is God, beyond capture by any definitions creation can manage to muster up,
and then
there is creation, in part or in sum, vastly less than The Creator

Everything breaks down from there, but the essential lesson is that everything in creation serves the Perfect Purposes of The CREATOR

And therein is a good anchor for our soul, in simple trust. Difficult as it is from time to time
