• 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.

I would say:

Seriously I'd say believe in Christ and follow the Bible, the book is more important than those who put it together!

Lol. I loved the irony of that episode!

I love your serious message, though. Amen to that!

Blessings Cubinity!

Christ my brother! In a real way (for them) :thumbsup:

I would desire that those I love (and here I speak of my family) to know is that there is a very present God, One Who is not far off (as they believe Him to be) but One who draws near. One they can feel after and find, One they can taste and see, know in their spirit by His Spirit. To also crack the outershell of their religious speak in their saying, "yeah I know He is God (in more of a Martha type way) if your getting me, but be able to impart (somehow, in or in someway) a desire in them Him-ward in the hearing of His word (in more of a Mary type way).

Its hard to articulate things (to others) when speaking of those you are familiar with (and what you desire for them) especially theologically when they have somewhat of a theology even as both Martha and Mary had one. However I believe Mary touched Him (and more then just after the flesh) she heard Him and she knew it (in herself). Its the best way I'd attempt to descibe it I guess. And I would desire the blessing of them knowing that very thing (for themselves). Nothing could be greater (for them) because I know once that happens (in them) theres no turning back from there. Just a taste of Him (even the power of Him) which would act as gas to the engine (in the seeking of Him). And that they would know the great rewards that follow in the seeking of Him (which is more of Him). And likewise the awe He imparts likewise earns the respect (in them) unto the reccompence of the very same. You know, Im not sure how I to express what I desire for them in the right words, Im not so good at this but I really God in His greatness ( in His everpresentness) and by His power to unhold their eyes and be made known to them in a very real way. Them to know Him (that way) or know He can be known that way.

Just the very real blessing of seeking Him (feeling after) touching (and knowing) for themselves. That this can be so (for them) and that they could believe for it.

God bless you brother:thumbsup:
