  • 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'd like to ask for prayers for mercy again. It's pretty clear but I'll recap for people who don't know me:

My biggest fear is that through apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6, and idolatry passages/straying), selling my soul (Mark 8:36), or the unpardonable sin (Blasphemy of the HS Matthew 12, Mark 3, Luke 12) I have lost my salvation or been proven unsaved and now cannot be saved. I fear God hates me. A praise song came on my SoundCloud playlist when I was cleaning and it just made me cry because I think He will reject and hurt me. And the devil is trying to lure me to his side... make it like God's the enemy (He's not, I know fault is with me) and I feel like I'm losing everything.

I may have felt the same way in my past. Had strong feelings that I would not make it to heaven. Thought God was going to harm, and condemn me to hell. I had just come to the Lord, a new believer. Other Christians at my church assured me that I couldn't lose my eternal salvation. Eventually realized that I am saved forever thanks to Jesus, even if I feel the opposite.

I will pray for you, also for anyone else.

Thank you for the blessings.

I read this a minute ago and thought of you. Lovely Psalm.


Psalms 130 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
