  • 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

Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. - Jeremiah 17:5

It simply is not in the bible to take needs to the medical community! The bible says...

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: - James 5:14

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. - Mark 16:17-18

The signs are to them that believe, as the scripture says...

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. - 1 John 5:4

You guys can live apart from scripture all you want.... I will embrace the Word of the Lord.

Can I PM you my conclusion to this thread? What I have decided to do?

1 Timothy 5:23
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

What's this? Paul tells Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach and infirmities? Could that be due to it's medicinal value? Why didn't Paul tell him to go to the elders to get healed so he could get rid of the stomach problems and other infirmities? Better yet, why didn't Timothy "name and claim" his own healing?

In the year 97, the 80-year-old Timothy tried to halt a procession in honor of the goddess Diana by preaching the gospel. The angry pagans beat him, dragged him through the streets, and stoned him to death.

I would imagine had it not been for this Timothy would have lived a lot longer. So... Sorry... Not so unhealthy. And Paul did not tell him to see a physician either.

I must say though, that sometimes a doctor can help by giving you a diagnosis. And that diagnosis may be useful in going to God in prayer. There may be some easy fixes like in diet and exercise. There are times though, that we must do what the Lord and our bodies are telling us.

Welcome aboard True Disciple! I agree, that house cleaning can pave the way for healing, and in the name of Jesus. There are some posters here who think medical help is a cure-all, and sometimes that is not the case!
