• 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.

LIFE vs mere existence…

ETERNAL LIFE is not merely an existence that has no end.
Instead, it is a brilliant, glorious FLAME that cannot
be extinguished by ANY circumstance or opposition,

including death, darkness or time.

He’ll is a fire, but heaven is in glorious light. Don’t mean to disagree. Just a comment.
John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." (Luke 3:16)

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. (Acts 2:3)


The Presence of God that lives within each believer forever is, among other things, a glorious flame. The Bible speaks of a variety of types of fire, some good, some bad. Yes, there is a lake of fire, but there are a number of references to fire and flames in the Bible that are very good.

His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (Revelation 19:12)

By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. (Exodus 13:21)

In the Exodus scripture, God is both light and fire.
