• 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.

Does any one understand my signature?

I believe I have been misunderstood again.

I say discipline because of the things we go through, they are all to better us.  If we endure the storm our faith increases, along with other possible things such as closeness to God. 
wow...and where did u pull "disobeying him" out of what I said?
Just wondering...I'll try to be more specific next time even though I think my choice of wording for even this paragraph has already been flawed.

Well I hope you see what I am saying.

Gotcha.  Thanks for clarification.

The reason I don't think he does it himself is because if he does, the punishments are extremely inconsistent.  Hitler committed many, many sins yet was rewarded with more and more power.  Of course the natural consequence was that he eventually suffered a major beat-down, but the initial consequence was increased power, which is what he desired.

The bible says (and oviously I lack the original verse)
Something about, not despairing or being jealous of evil people's increases and exultation in life.  Because of ...their coming "consequences".

Something in that order I believe (and If I am wrong, please do correct)

But yea, Justice was served. And besides...for the things prophesied in revelations...these things had to happen.

Even though it was a very sad thing. :(
