  • 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.

I'm a seeker of God. I've lived many years depressed and lost, and just recently came to the light of Jesus Christ this year. I used to smoke weed, touch, look at porn everyday, and just not even really think about where my life was going. I'm a musician, so one day, I went to a listening party and got offered to sell my beats to some rappers. But they were rapping about satanic stuff, so I withdrew from that crowd. Now I find myself alone, and often I am still depressed, for slim is the path and narrow the gate. Everyone around me like the people in my household don't care about heaven or hell, and they worship idols. So you can imagine how lonely it gets. I don't go out the house because I take the term 'come out of the world' quite literally. However, in my isolation, I've realized that this is just as bad as it was when I was living in unrepentant sin, because I'm not impacting anyone's life. And that's Satan's scheme. So basically I'm praying, fasting, and asking God for a way out. One thing I know I do need, are friends of Christ, not friends of the world. Peace guys.

True. Thank you. My next step is being the change, not trying to enforce it. But we're talking about years of demonic influences. I've shaken off many already, but there's levels to this game, like Donky Kong.

Welcome to CF,
Hope you stick around, there is opportunity here to impact someones life, even if it's just to let them know you are praying for them. I am isolated in the place i live and sometimes feel I'm not doing enough to further Gods Kingdom. This is also a good place for fellowship.
God Bless you

The Benedictine option of prayerful solitude and withdrawal has always been a Christian option.

And ironically, sometimes it was the hermits, even those who chose to live alone on the top of a pole for twenty years at a time, who were the most politically influential people of them all in the ancient Christian world.

I am not suggesting that such a world of isolation is for you. What I am saying is that if getting right with God has brought you to a place of being isolated, first and foremost, get right with God.
None of us can change the world. We can only change ourselves.

the advice humble me Lord gave, was wonderful.
you focus on finding some here you can pray for.
prayer is a big part of being a fellow helper for the truth.
pray for me that i may speak and type the truth as i should.
and pray for humble me the same as well.
and pray for any who needs prayer . PRAY .
and keep reading Only the bible.
be faithful with what you know and in time you will be given more.
PRAY ........that is one thing we all know to do for others.

Usually a child of the kingdom begins to have this kinds of feeling when he has no link to the knowledge of his root/origin and also when the vulnerability associated with not having this knowledge becomes life threatening.

There is truly the GOD of creation and mankind is not a product of evolution, you did not happen by chance, you were predestined, there is a purpose for your life.

The knowledge of your predestination unlocks the path to your freedom. To know more about the origin of man and the reason for the fall and your predestination, I can be of assistance.
