• 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.

Well, cast all your cares on the Lord ... that's what I do. He cares for me and tells me not to worry... so I don't.
Well, cast all your cares on Allah ... that's what I do. He cares for me and tells me not to worry... so I don't.

Believe it yet?

There are many many many promises in the Bible. For example God know that seeking food, shelter and clothing can take up a lot of our time. So He tells us to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and then He will provide for all we need.

"For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
So when you give up your world possessions and follow the lord, does food magically come to you? Or do you have to beg and/or rely on donations? (all things other humans provide) Is there any way a man following the lord with no possessions will be better off than a man who simply has no possessions and isn't following the lord? (in a physical, measurable sense, otherwise it isn't evidence)

So you call the voice in your head "The Lord." What makes that any different from those who call it Allah, Vishnu, Odin, Zeus, or Iggy the Magic Elf?
