• 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.

An Awesome Scripture: Isa 40:22

Isa 40:22 - It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Break down - "It is he that dwells on (over) the compass (entirety) of the Earth, and the inhabitants there are as tiny insects to God.

This scripture declares the lofty place of God, above the expanse of heaven. Taken as allegory, the power of God is so great, men have the power of tiny insects compared.

Break down - "God stretched out the heavens as a thin material, and spread them out as a protective enclosure for the inhabitants of the Earth to dwell in, even from the Beginning.

This scripture declares that God stretched out the heavens and made them thin, and spread them out over the Earth. Specifically, they were made to be protective (as a tent).

Taken as allegory, God is so awesome, loving, and full of mercy, He provided great protection for the inhabitants of the Earth, even since the beginning; the foundation of the world.

Taken even further, this beautiful analogy can be traced right back to Jesus Christ who is the one we are protected by, enfolded by, secured by. It's not a stretch to take from this that Jesus Christ is indeed our tent.
