  • 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.

The Blessing of Joseph:
Genesis 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors
unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph,
and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

To be separated for the Lord’s Purpose led Joseph to this conclusion
concerning his past experiences
Genesis 45:
7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth,
and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God…

This is to know and to love Him
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

After walking in the Lord’s Purpose, we see His Life forming Christ in us,
and this Way of Life in our making convinces us that we were His from the beginning.
Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb
and called me through His grace…

He who has saved us has also called us for His Own Purpose
2 Timothy 1:9 Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.

Our Inheritance obtained in accordance with His Will
Ephesians 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to

the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His Will.

Separated for the Eternal Inheritance of the sons and daughters of God
2 Corinthians 6:
17 Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.
18 I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,

says the Lord Almighty.
