  • 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.

Called in creation:

God called five things within His six days of creation

1.God called the light Day, 2. and the darkness he called Night. 3. God called the firmament Heaven. 4. God called the dry land Earth 5. and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas.


And these five are the first things, which are places for living things. Who dwells in the Light, who dwells in darkness, whose throne is Heaven, and how many forms of living things are there in the seas and the earth? Hence God calls them and what He calls, He requires something of. Consider those who are called, just what is the purpose of the called. Wasn’t Israel called to accommodate the Presence of God with them. Didn’t the Lord God call Abram Abraham and Jacob Israel? Surly the called in Christ are called to accommodate the Presence of the Lord their God in the earth, via being born of the Presence of God, (Holy Spirit). What seems apparent in the Christian community is that they don’t understand that God has given man His place in the earth, to accommodate His Presence therein, just as His Presence in Heaven.


Also if He doesn’t call it, He doesn’t require of it. Though yes one could claim that this is the naming of the waters or dry ground, but God called them this or that, not man who has being calling things or naming if you will for quite some time, but God doesn’t spend much time in the naming or the calling of things.
