• 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.

"Money ain't worth lying for, 'cause redemption cost so much more."

For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
<-----> 1st Peter 1:18+19

"Presumption is the counterfeit of faith, and it is the worst form of unbelief, because it cannot admit that it does not believe already."

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. <-----> Psalm 19:13

"To be loved, follow the Golden Rule.

To be loathed, act like a snob."

A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. <-----> Proverbs 18:24

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. <-----> Proverbs 24:9

Seven spirits of God -

2. Wisdom tells us how.

3. Understanding tells us why.

4. Prudence tells us when.

5. Discernment tells us which.

6. Judgment tells us where.

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; <-----> Isaiah 11:2

Accurately quoting demonstrates memory.

But correctly conveying the meaning in other words signifies comprehension.

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
<-----> Luke 10:25+26

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
<-----> Matthew 16:13-15

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
<-----> John 18:33-34

or from a purely spiritual perspective - seeing we are in His image!

The Sevenfold Spirit who in Truth and Love, Feels, Sees, Hears, Smells and Tastes the fruits of our spirit/heart!

psalm 115:1-8

Not to us, LORD, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
But their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
