  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A passage from the book of Isaiah 40:26-31

Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

10 years ago I committed the unpardonable sin. I turned my back on the truth, knowing that it was the truth and all Jesus had to offer me. I got more and more sinful, till I got so bad I started judging God and cursing Him(the horror). All kinds of sexual sin, everything you can think of and more. Well, a few months ago, I'd had enough and started trying to turn around...I can't in my own power. Pretty much terrified and filled with a lot of regret...so much I've thrown away...knowing what it would cost me...guard your heart. I didn't, I wish I could get my heart back...terrible terrible consequences of willful sin.

God offers release to those who want to obey Him

Isa1:18-20
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere present and fillest all things, Treasury of good things and Giver of Life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us of all impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (thrice).

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, wash away our sins; O Master, pardon our iniquities; O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy (three times).

Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, Who art in the Heavens, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Thank you everyone so much for your prayers. I want to change so bad. I've tasted what's on the other side for me and it's horrifying. God has literally let me taste Hell(it is affirmed to my consciousness that that is where I currently am) while still walking this earth. I am still walking around and doing things and sleeping, etc... But it's like an NDE while being still alive. Devils, demons, inner suffering at all levels of my being unlike anything earthly. On Klonopin so I don't have a panic attack and die. Scariest thing of all is that it feels like this is what I deserve. Never wished harder that I had paid heed to God's word more. My real name is Corin, by the way, if I haven't mentioned. I am a broken man without my Creator.(aren't we all, a harsh but true reality.)I've learned the hard way that you don't ignore, presume, try to run away from, refuse to trust, or be stiff-necked with your God. I feel no influence from the Holy Spirit(That I can perceive). Being made to see sin for what it is. Filthy. Man do I long to be a whole man in the rightest sense instead of the pig I chose to become when I was a teenager. You reap what you sow. Worst thing is is that I sense this isn't what God wanted for me, that it really made Him sad that I went this way...

Hi Mate,

I did a similar thing to you. I thought I had committed the unpardonable sin. I sinned in many ways. But I turned around and God received me. Since then he has let me perform signs and wonders in his name, and do many things for his gospel. I learned after some time that ALL sin is forgivable when we wish to have repentance. I have written a document on the biblical case for this at http://www.futureandahope.net/unforgivable_sin.php hope it helps you.

I am lost, and ask that someone would pray to ask God to extend greatly my time here on earth. I am stuck, and I'd like to do some things before I die of this sorrow.

God is ever abounding in love, and mercy. He loves you and wants you at his side. Your heavenly father who loves you so much no matter what wants you to return home. That is the meaning of the cross. I pray you will find God and peace in Jesus name!

Don't worry about demons, I want to see one but don't have a chance :) I don't think they have power over your spirit, because they already lost. As long as you have a repent heart, you are safe, God is powerful and loves all of us, he will find his sheep, he is the good Shepard. I will pray for you. Just remember, don't be frustrated if your old habits keep coming back, have trust in God and he will help you. I have almost no self control and loved play video games, I still play them from time to time but not the covet level banned by God in the 10 commandments.
