  • 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.

Eve was told to eat
Over in the fruit and
It would really help her
As that the serpent
Who was disguised as the
Devil or Satan depending on what
You would call him but still when evil
Entered in Eve as she could had resisted.
But she chose not to resist.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 11/3/2025:
Later on Eve then tempted
Adam to eat over in the
Forbidden fruit and after he ate
Both discovered that they didn't
Have any clothes and tried to
Use on leaves in order to
Cover themselves on up when God came
On by as He knew what they did.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 11/4/2025:
Punishment is that the Lord God
Sadly knew that the world as perfect
As it was but was ruined by the
Very first sin in the world with
Both Adam and Eve banned from the
Garden and would hurt badly over in
Childbirth when given on children.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 11/5/2025:
God prevented Adam and Eve from
Returning in that forbidden garden
Having a guard issued with a
Flaming sword and that both
Realized that actions do indeed have
Consequences that cost them to
Be around over in the garden.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 11/6/2025:
Afterwards in Adam and Eve being
Dressed over in animal skins and
Irony that how they let sin
Enter the world and that God's
Knowing despite their sin saddened Him
It didn't surprise Him and that He
Knew that He was sending Christ in His mind
Over in the world to come save all of mankind.

Had not Adam and Eve didn't
Fall into temptation then we
Wouldn't be in such a
Mess in this world that
Has only gone from beyond
Worse which happens to be
Such on an understatement here.

Had they not gone into temptation
With a serpent that was Satan in
Disguise who knows as we would
Be spared tragedies, deaths, famine
Just to name a few on it
But God knew that they would
Sin and that there would be a
Need for the Lord and Savior.

Sadly Adam and Eve had so
Much as they lost in having the
Gardens that they were meant to
Keep neat and in control but
Eating in that forbidden Garden of Good and
Evil really made them now having actions
Do have indeed consequences for all of
Us as they and we learned the hard way.

Life is all about making
Choices and decisions that can
Lead us astray or that the
Can really make the right kind of
Decision now that we wished
Not in having that decision that
Made us question this or that.

JPPT1974's Veteran's Day 2025:
We will always have temptation
Like Adam and Eve do as
How can something so good be
So awful that it falls into sin
Very hard to not fall into temptation
God's help if we allow Him to do so
Help us to prevent us from falling into
Both sin and temptation my friend.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 11/12/2025:
Life is all about not
Falling into temptation in the
Choices and decisions we make
And how that what would Jesus
Do in our situation as He was out in the
Wilderness as Satan tested Him but
Being perfect and God even though He
Emptied Himself to be and feel human
Got all A's by God's view as we should always
Politely yet firmly refuse temptation as it is bad for our health
And even our relationships my friends.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 11/13/2025:
We all enjoy seasons that
Are like Autumn or fall and
Spring, summer, and/or winter
As that we will like one season
Dislike the other but that there
Are seasons besides the change of the
Weather that we will feel like when our
Lives are in a unbearable predicament.

JPPT1974 Weekend Thoughts 11/14-11/16/2025:
Just like in the Autumn, Spring, Summer, and
Winter as that there will be
Good seasons and not so good
Ones but that is the one that
Where we depend on the Lord
And that we could not at all go
Through the seasons without the
Help of the Lord to guide us through.

Life is all about making
Choices and decisions and that
We need to look at in the long term
Vs in the short term and
How it could lead us to the
Right direction or the wrong ones
Former over in the Lord in the
Journeying in that direction where He wants
Us to take that direction on it.

Those seasons that we
Are feeling not just on the
Physical side but on the emotional,
Mental, and even on the spiritual
Sides and how we need to
Really feel when we feel like the
Walls are closing on in as that
You and I want to really want to
Do things on our own.

How the seasons that are
Changing not just in the weather
Sense but in that over in our
Emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual
Health and that the Lord will guide
Us and in doing the will and way of Him
For it is how we give up on control
As God will give us that direction.

Zeroing in on the seasons that
Quickly and even quietly have
On the changing over in our
Moods and when we relinquish
Control to God and how He will
Direct us into what we need to
Focus on and how we need to
Allow God to take control all over.

Seasons change and so do we
But God never does as He is

Sending His only begotten and
Beloved Lord and Savior to take
Care and control over in the hard
Things we feel we don't want to give
Up on control only God can do so.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 11/21/2025:
When we give up control albeit over
Reluctantly at first but then we realize
It was well worth it and that
God wants to ease our pain and
Ease over on having so much
On our shoulders and our bodies as
He is asking us to give up control
So He can come in and ease on the
Burdens that we carry so that God can carry for
Us as we need to and in the end it will be well worth it.
