• 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.

Jezebel in today's parlance was an influencer.

20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality
and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Allowing demonic influence on leadership.
Consider this teaching from Peter:

1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief,
or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

So we see busybody mentioned with murderers, thieves and other
evildoers! Why? Are they not playing god in others lives?


Influencers are always trying to sell something.
To succeed, the first sell must be themselves.
This is called marketing "their brand".
Scripturally, it is called prostitution.
This is widespread in the church.

1 Timothy 6:
3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which accords with godliness,
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is
obsessed with disputes and arguments over words,
from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth,
who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος ------------what an interesting word! I'm adding it to my rather meager Koine vocabulary. :smarty:


Thank you for the heads up! I'll do my best to avoid committing this sin ...
