  • 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.

My friend Allan's church has now gotten a lawyer into our situation. My husband lost his temper when they tried to intimidate us again and he threatened to take this thing to court. I don't want to do so. All I have ever wanted is to meet one on one with my friend and no church/cult people. But now my husband wants to fight Goliath.

Please pray. All I want is to speak with my friend and make things right. If the church gets involved I am afraid of all the new and old lies they will tell and of how they will twist whatever I have said in the past. This will cause more troubles than it is worth. May truth and justice and peace win in this situation. --Rose

Dear Izzy and Devoted Daughter,
Again I wish to thank you both for prayer. I have been feeling very very sad. I have not heard from Allan since the Lawyer called my husband. I know it is out of fear. I so miss him and today I was overwhelmed by sorrow at knowing he is at this moment in spiritual prison and unable to lift himself. I keep having dreams of seeing him and reconciling and there is such joy. But when I wake things seem more impossible than ever. But I have to believe that somehow God is still moving.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Devoted Daughter! I think you must be in your twenties. If so I hope you have a long life, that has no regrets. If you keep your hand in His you will not have any regrets and also hear God first for yourself and then whatever advice you get will be something you can discern clearly if it is of God. I trusted people too much in my life, that somehow they knew better than God. If you trust God above mere men you will have less regrets. My birthday advice no matter how old you are.

Lord bless you both. Please just pray Allan will wake up from deception. Love--Rose

Rose...
I will continue to pray for you, your husband, your friend, and his church. Remember that we as Christians are instructed to pray for our enemies as well as our friends. I have faith that there will be a positive outcome that glorifies God in the end. May you find peace until then. Your friend is doing what he thinks is right (even if he's dead wrong.) Or so one would belive. I mean who tries to defy the things that we know as fact? Therefore, your job is to be the scripture that he's not getting at his church. Be more like Christ, and if your friend sees this (and is not blind...)he will see the light (as you are holding it high above your head.)

May God bless you and all those involved,
Eric

LORD,
We ask for You intervention here. Be with Rose, her husband, Allan and everyone esle involved. Open their eyes to You and thy WORD. Help them to rightly divide the Scriptures and adhere to that which it tells us. If any have not yet received the gift of salvation please, please, please send messengers unto them with the Gospel and soften their hearts to it. Bring them to their knees at the Cross of Calvary. Let them become vessels fit for Your use that they in turn will become messengers that will lead many to be washed in the Blood of JESUS. Let peace and compassion prevail in this situation and let the devisiveness of the courts of man be shunned. Guide each of them through the indwelling of thy HOLY SPIRIT to do thy perfect will. May all be blessed abundantly through thy riches in Heaven. May each of us be sources of blessing and edification unto all that You bring into our lives and may we in turn be blessed by them.

These things we claim in victory in through the name & person of JESUS CHRIST.

Dearest Friends Eric and Justabitofhelp,
I so appreciate your prayers. Both of you prayed right on target. This whole thing is so hard mainly because everyone in the story, except my husband, claims to be saved. The wild thing is my husband is acting the most Christian and he is not even saved. I have really tried so very hard to show my friend what unconditonal love is. The love of the father for the prodigal. But truly it is very hard when his church has said two startling things: 1. there is no such thing as reconciliation and 2. they don't believe in unconditional love. Wow. Can you believe a church would say that and say it with pride? But I must keep forgiving them even with these threats. They say that to try and reconcile is harassment because it is not comfortable for the abusers. I have never heard such horrific statements come from Christian leaders. Yet for worship they get about 5,000 (in three services) people to come and they give loads of money. Peope say that lots of money and lots of people mean that they must not have sinned. But God knows the truth. I am sorry for them all and hope for mercy for them. But mainly I just want to be restored to my friend. My husband tried to help but they disrespected him and me and mocked our desire to have peace. Yet God can override this whole thing and get deliverance and have love prevail. May God be praised, He is somehow in control in the midst of this darkness. Let us continue to pray for Allan since his mind is not totally dark yet. He is a lost fearful brother. Thank you both on his behalf. Someday when he is delivered he will thank all of you.--Rose

Rose,

That's not a church that's an empire. They are building their hevenly treasures on earth to rot and decay. Hon...Keep up that awesome work that you are doing...the people that you save will thank you in the end (and so will our heavenly father!) You are going to be the thing that saves your husband if anything does...God will bless you in all your efforts if they are his efforts.

In Him,
Eric

The church is so big and powerful. They think that no one can stand up and say,"that is wrong!" But God had me say that to them because instead of helping my friend and instead of fostering reconciliation they chose to cover the sin and demand that my friend lie or loose his job. I wish I could just speak with my friend since he has been under their subjugation for so long. He knows what he is doing is wrong and that he has hurt me by not standing for me, but as in all cultic situations he sees no way out. I do believe in spite of everything that all of this is of God. Somehow my friend will get delivered, my husband saved, and hopefully many others will be rescued. It is just that I have been feeling like there is a knife in my heart these last few days. My friend and I miss each other and I can feel his pain. Well I will never stop praying for him. Thankyou for doing so also.--Rose
