  • 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

I was looking how the Lord in scripture has measured the fulness of things in various ways. Like the fulness of the earth is the Lords, which God has measured, but no man is able to measure.

And we also see there is a fulness that is shown in his host, which again no man can number for multitude like the stars in the heavens, and the sands of the seas, without measure to any man.

And we see the fulness of God in Christ without measure, which fulness we have also recieved overflowing into us.

And we also see fulness used as it relates to time fulfilled in order to come to the measure, and the fulness of his stature.

Here are a few scriptures to show how this fulness is shown in different ways.

His fulness..
John 1:16
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

The Jews fulness...

Romans 11:12
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

The Gentiles fulness...

Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


The fulness of blessings...

Romans 15:29
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

The earths fulness...

1 Corinthians 10:26
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

1 Corinthians 10:28
But if any man say unto you, this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

A fulness of time...

Galatians 4:4
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Ephesians 1:10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Fulness of the body...

Ephesians 1:23
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

The fulness of God by the Love of Christ...

Ephesians 3:19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

The fulness of Christ in us, the body united...

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

And the fulness of the God head in Christ..

Colossians 1:19
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Who is able to measure the fulness of the Love of God toward us?

This is very good :thumbsup: That ye might be able with all the saints COMPREHEND **what is** these specific measures as it pertains to the love of God in Christ, which is beautiful. Ugh and I gotta run out but what I noticed (I think I shared on this before) was "the depth of" those measures isnt that which is written but written in respects to the "of Whom" that belongs (to reveal it) "the Spirit" which reveals the depth (or deep things of God) just as equally as to know the Love of God in Christ surpasses knowledge itself

Ephes 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.


Job 38:16 ... hast thou walked in the search of the depth?^_^


The Sprit searches "the deep" things of God. and to know the love of God passeth knowledge but thats exactly what we are called unto, the comprehension of the very same, which I think is so completely awesome!!:clap:

Woohoo! Praise the LORD!

The produce isle awaits me (must depart now)^_^

Great thread my brother:thumbsup:

Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Darkness poured out like waters...

Isaiah 29:10
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Their eyes were closed and covered by dark waters until...

1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Daniel 2:22;"He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the Light dwells with him."

Gods Spirit is like my water wings so I can play in the deep end.^_^

Peace Sis.:thumbsup:

Water wings ^_^ you are so bad! lol Wake up oh sleeper! I play with these in Genesis so many ways I can never figure out which one I like the best, I keep them together or just splice them between others but theres so much in them, Christ being FORMED in you (get it?) without FORM^_^

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void;

Duet 32:28 For they are a nation void of counsel,

Gen 1:2 and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

Duet 32:28 neither is there any understanding in them.

Prov 20:5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;

Gen 1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Prov 20:5 ...but a man of understanding will draw it out.

John 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with^_^

1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face

Prov 27:19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light

2Cr 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Cr 2:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

I can never decide which order is better you can fling them around by nation, man or heart off of various keywords.

Hubby wants a pizza, I gotta pull it out of the box^_^

God bless you brother

When I hear that verse" the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" I think of Jesus walking on the waters.:thumbsup:

You get the pizza out of the box for him? Wow, what a woman. :p Careful though, you might just spoil him.^_^

Hey! I spruce it up with some extra provalone (the KEY to enjoying boxed pizza) Palemeros (plug) "thin crust" :thumbsup:which I normally hate (thin crust) but I cant get a good pizza anywhere in the south (that I know of). I love pizza, but it never even crossed my mind to inquire of how their pizza was down here, very disapointing indeed. But Im telling ya, we are hooked on that one, its a half decent box (with the added provolone). We blew off picking one up already made for it.

Jullia Childs would be envious of my boxed pizza, let me tell ya:thumbsup:

Your right bro reminds me of Jesus walking on the waters too.

God bless you kiddo

Sorry I was late in responding, but I had to cook my own supper, and I had to wash my own dishes. Man I tell ya, some guys just have it made.^_^ When you said you had to get the pizza out of the box for him, I was thinking why can't he get the pizza out of the box for himself?^_^

But I guess you were talking about cooking a frozen pizza out of the box?:confused:

Either way, I'm still jealous.^_^ I sure miss my wife.:cry:

Heck when you get your wife back to you, you are both invited over for a boxed pizza dinner (I'll dazzle ya's with my skills with boxed goods) ^_^


Truly Im jealous, that my husband doesnt make his own meals and do his own pile of dishes ^_^

I know, I didnt know whether she had projections (not that anyone should make them) but maybe you could visit her, take a trip hookup and get that wife sick (miss her) feeling dealt with. A good visit might do you good bro:thumbsup:

Yea, I think we might get together next spring, Lord willing. She wanted to come up here the first of the year, but I reminded her of how cold it gets up here sometimes in January, so she had second thoughts. She's cold blooded, and life up here is void of central air and heat, just my little wood burnin stove.

It does just fine as long as the fire is goin, but when you get up in morning it tends to be a bit chilly. The first winter I was up here it dropped down into the single digits a couple of nights, when I got up in the mornin to use the bathroom I lifted the lid to the toilet bowl and the water in the bowl was iced over.:doh: Right then and there the reality sunk in, and I knew I wasn't in Florida any more.^_^

Peace Sis.

It took that for the reality to sink in?^_^ You gotta be careful if your toilet bowl is ceramic it could crack in extreme cold tempertures bro lol Usually women know those sorts of things, not sure if you know being a man. My husband does things that might make no sense to me, I'll ask him didnt you know that this happens if you dont do that? (sorta thing).

Now how you didnt crack is beyond me unless you have one of those featherbed type blankets? I have two of those bad boys (looks like a mountain on the bed too) LOL which feel like 50 pounds on us at night. And you could cut the heat and never even worry about it. However, its hard to get out of bed to even go to the bathroom at night because it takes alot to get them off of you^_^ But if you dont have one of those it would be something to consider bro.

My grandmom had lived in Florida (my dad and his wife still do) but she too (like your wife) got coldblooded, she was always freezing, she couldnt tolerate cold, not even air conditioning, so I understand. Its hard to go from extremes

Why not go up and visit her bro? Heck if I were married to a man living with no heat or air (in one location) and me (with heat and air) in another, I'd make him come visit me^_^

There would be no... "Hmmm... which one shall I chose"? I'd tell him to get his butt back here (bribe him with meals and stuff)

You called her didnt cha? You might not have but it was what I thought you might have did, missing her.

Awh go visit her champ :hug:
