• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

that for about 1020 years people have believed in a false holy land, all these years millions of people have pilgrimaged there, have fought and died for the wrong land.
And the true Holy Land is in truth in a lonely, dry and empty place, where few people live who don't even know that the land they walk on is holy.

Interesting to imagine, but very unlikely since the Holy Land has been continually occupied for millennia and extensively documented. There are certainly things to be discovered that will challenge some of the narrative, but the overall location is without doubt.

My impression is the Holy Land described by the early scriptures included the presently described Israel, plus a much larger area extending from the present legally recognized land of Israel. Therefore, if this is correct, then Jews at this time are not occupying all of the Promised Land.

Another thing > God's word says we in Jesus are "rooted and grounded in love" > Ephesians 3:17. So, already we Jesus people are rooted and grounded in our true earth which is God's love.

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

So, indeed our land is not dry! :)

Imagine ignoring thousands of years of documentation, archeology, of continued habitation, well known geography and landmarks, cities, civilizations, societies, history, cultures, all embedded in a well known region of the world--and then to go on the internet make a claim that one obviously is wrong about, and then insist everyone else is wrong because of course it must be everyone else that's wrong.
