  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Happy Sabbath

Since this weekend marks Purim - the celebration listed in the book of Esther, I want to wish you all a happy Purim as well! Remember God has called us "for such a time as this."

Here is a pic of my newest grandchildren Abby and Kaleb, (twins) that are being adopted by my youngest daughter. They are dressed up as Mordechai and Esther for their Messianic Congregation's Purim party.

Shabbat Shalom everyone! :)

And Happy Resurrection Day; aka Yom haBikkurim - the day of First Fruits.

1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

This thread seems to be getting ignored these past few months - but I will wish everyone a happy Shabbat anyway!

A bit early, but Happy and Peaceful Sabbath to all.

My wife and I are going to a Bed and Breakfast to celebrate our 40th anniversary this weekend. :)

Yes, from creation:

Exodus 20:11
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.

Exodus 31:16
So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’
17 It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”​

When it was made into a requirement is irrelevant. Who observed it or did not observe it way back then is irrelevant.

What IS relevant is what are you and I doing with it NOW?
