  • 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 hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Is this the real reality? What do you believe or think?

Jesus said that (about the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit)
I never did any mental gymnastics over this. We need to be born again and a new creation in Christ. That is the work of the Grace of God in us. So there is no forgiveness if we do not yield to God to allow Him to do the work that He wants to do in our lives. I think of the Lord's prayer: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done". This is what we pray, and this is what we ask for. Andrew Murray talks about the work God does in us. Pat Robertson talks about the kingdom of God so we can see what God wants to do in our lives.

Alot of people say that you can't prove that there are other places other than this, and that whether there is or not is a matter of whether you think there is or not, or what you believe, and I think that they are correct in that mostly really, and that it really does just come down to what you think, or a choice to believe it or not actually, etc.

Personally, I think there is, or at least could be, and this is for a lot of reasons, most of which most of you probably won't believe, so I'm going to try to stick to just only the ones that you maybe can believe maybe, ok.

I don't think this is the real reality, and that what each of us is, goes well beyond this actually, etc. I think that this reality is just a sub-set of another reality which is the real reality, etc. That this is more like a program, or simulation, and that most of what we see/experience here is only temporary, and that this is not the greatest or highest reality, but is only a part or sub-set of that other reality, etc. Also that this reality is deterministic also actually, etc. And that some of us maybe even had a pre-existence before this maybe, but that memory of only just fails us right now currently, etc, but that also might be re-restored upon re-entering maybe. There are a lot of possibilities, etc.

Why this reality or our temporary existence here is another discussion for another time, although I do think I have some answers for that though actually.

Anyway, what do you think?

Can you exercise some sort of faith/belief that this reality might not be the only reality, or the highest or greatest reality? Or at least allow for the possibility of that maybe?

What do you think?

Take Care/God Bless.
This reality is a bootcamp.
It's the one we, in this body operate in.
The question can not be truthfully addressed unless the spiritual reality is considered. That is the enternal truth.

I would agree that this reality is probably only here for us to learn right from wrong, and grow/develop maybe? to maybe be fully ready for another reality after this one maybe? Or it's goal could be evolution for the whole species in general, over a long period of time maybe.

What is the "spiritual reality"? And how does it differ from this reality?

One is seen and felt. It is linear. It exists in a series of specific events in time.
The other is metaphysical, beyond physics.
It exists in the minds and hearts of the philosophers and believers.

One studies the natural world and like the man who observes the sky from the bottom of a well sees very little and gives himself much credit.

The other knows you don't get something from nothing and gives the credit to the spirit, energy or entity that created this amazing universe.

One has commissioned a portrait of himself and burns incense and leaves offerings to himself.

The other isn't stupid enough to believe his perception changes the rules and looks to God.
