• 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.

  • 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.

Faulty Thinking?

Speculative, can a being change their minds? Do they have that choice, or once made they can never reverse their decision?

Well, now, you see, since my authority is the Bible, I can say that I know that Satan has taken a committed stand against God, and that his end has been described as in the lake of fire, not repentance 100,000 years later. What is the source for your belief...or should I say, speculation?
How many times will you tell me that your authority is the bible? If I didn't know better I think you are trying to convince yourself... Over 2000 yrs of living and dying has occurred since the last epistle was written... strange that you think that nothing from that script has changed...
