  • 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.

    44. To seek light To seek the light of God is a process to do every day of our lives. Let’s rise: “Rise up in splendour! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” Isaiah, chapter 60, verse 1 What is the light that we seek? The Light is already on us. The Light of the Lord...

    A Friend of Sinners?

    A popular teaching today is that Jesus hung out with (was a friend of) the ungodly, while he avoided contact with the "super religious," which is often a popular reference to the godly. But Jesus was not a friend of the ungodly. He was a friend to those who obeyed him (Jn 15:14-15; Jas 2:23)...

But my mind and thoughts were slipping acting on...

    How to recognize a real Teacher

    Here is how God taught me to recognize the deceivers.... I asked God one afternoon, sitting on a porch swing, in the summer of 1991, that very question. I had for a while looked around and i noticed that there was a church on every corner, and none of them agreed with each other's "teaching"...

    What form was the 2nd person of the Trinity (Jesus) in before He took on flesh?

    In reading the OT we can clearly see the 1st and 3rd persons of the Trinity in action but the 2nd person isn't as clear or visible, and we don't actually see Him. If you looked to the heavens before He took on flesh you'd see God the Father on His throne and the Holy Spirit but where is the 2nd...

    A Few Things to Discuss (A Bit Long)

    The SDA Church This is something that I've not been able to understand personally. Why do many people consider SDA to be a cult? I grew up in the church and the beliefs are different, though many people have different beliefs hence why we have so many different denominations. Although I do...

    I give up: I'd rather go backwards, than forwards (in Evolution)

    Hi there, So I don't know whether to make this long or short, I just want to say that whatever Evolution is, I am not going to chase it. I just don't want to. I would rather be backwards and have faith; than go forwards and "evolve". It's not that I am not capable of intellectual denial of my...

    I need help I worry I have committed a sin

    I was coming back from running and I was thinking and was saying the Holy Spirit is alive but I accidentally whispered and froze on Ali like the opposite. I said to God and Jesus I meant to say the Holy Spirit is alive and good. Did I commit a sin?

    6th Episode: Collective Dreaming (one common theme for all dreams) 20.07.20 - 27.07.20

    Hi there, So we had a dream about children and a baby, and another about four "something" (maybe pillars), last week. I suggested the baby, might be how the Holy Spirit sees us and the pillars might be the four pillars of life in the Spirit with the Holy Spirit. The two dreams fit nicely...

    Saints

    In some ways, the phrase "favorite Saint" is a bit humorous, as all the born again are "Saints". God has no favorites , He just has those who do more for Him, and understand more from Him. The Catholic church of course finessed this idea of "Saint" and redefined it and rebranded it as the idea...

    Let Jesus, be interested in You

    Hi there, So this is a fresh revelation, for me, that Jesus actually needs the opportunity to be interested in You - He made You, so for Him to have a relationship is something of first importance to Him, but more than that, it is a relationship that He desires to be invested in: Jesus actually...

    Bit by bit, you become more like Jesus: evolving into Jesus?

    Hi there, So this is from a simple heart to contextualize. The context, is life in Jesus. Life in Jesus, never runs out (He will be returning, shortly). The point is this: Evolution says there is no telos, to Evolution. However, this is because a pattern of degeneration, is adopted (the...

    "Always be ready to give an answer" means at some point: Death, itself is an answer to us

    Hi there, So I am not sure where this fits in theologically, but the thought occurred to me, that Death is itself, an answer. It is an answer, to the Devil, that we no longer want his interference. It is an answer, for our soul, that we have ceased to struggle and are no longer afraid of sin...
