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

John 5:25. .. talks about the few who while dead hear and rise. I guess the rest rolled over in their sleep. The Lord will not call again for another thousand years.. probably will throw them out of their beds this time. So answer the first time...

(CLV) Lk 9:60
Yet He said to him, "Let the dead entomb their own dead. Yet you, coming away, publish the kingdom of God."

It appears that some who are physically alive, are spiritually dead.

(CLV) Mt 23:27
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are resembling the whitewashed sepulchers which outside, indeed, are appearing beautiful, yet inside they are crammed with the bones of the dead and all uncleanness.


(CLV) Mk 12:26
Now concerning the dead, that they are being roused; did you not read in the scroll of Moses, at the thorn bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?


It appears that some who are physically dead, are spiritually alive.

Until I meditated on this understanding, I had difficulty fully understanding how Elijah and Moses appeared on the mountain.

(CLV) Mk 9:1
And He said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the kingdom of God having come in power."

(CLV) Mk 9:2
And after six days, Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John and is bringing them up into a very high mountain, privately, alone. And He was transformed in front of them.

(CLV) Mk 9:3
And His garments became glistening, very white, as snow, such as not fuller on earth is able thus to whiten.

(CLV) Mk 9:4
And Elijah, together with Moses, was seen by them, and they were conferring with Jesus.
