• 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.

Few will be saved?

I very recently read that 83% of America professes Christ. The truth is that one must be born again to hope for Heaven. Being obedient to the Commandments Christ gave are impossible to obey without Christ Living within you. “Ye shall through much tribulation enter into The Kingdom of God”. This is all Spiritual.

Acts.14
  1. [22] Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
1 Timothy chapter 1 verse 7 and 8
7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.


Galatians chapter 3 verse 24,25,23
So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith now that faith has come we are no longer under the supervision of the law before this faith came we were held prisoners by the law locked up until faith should be revealed.

When someone is truly born again, their lives will be changed immediately and they will grow from there. The Refiners Fire spoken of in Malachi 3:1-3 is a great reference to refinement. The fear of The Lord is the beginning of knowledge Proverbs 1:7. To know the true fear of The Lord is a great blessing. The first death is terrifying. The Word of God is Spiritual but there is also a physical meaning. Seek and ye shall find. Seek God The Father with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your strength and you will find. You will know the difference between those who profess Christ and those who live Christ.
