  • 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.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

why do you pray for this despicable depraved abomination, this demon-infested wretch who can NEVER know God. better you should pray for yourselves with thanksgiving that God has not made you like this one.

We choose to love her. She is not an abomination! She is beautiful and true before the LORD. She already knows God, nothing can change that. We do pray for ourselves and each other. Moriah is one of us. We refuse to give her up as hopeless.

Abba, please grant a reprieve. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Father, through Your Son we have forgiveness and deliverance. I pray in agreement with my brothers and sisters that Moriah will experience your freedom and deliverance in her life. Jesus, send your mighty warring angels to do battle for her. Fill her with Your Spirit and quell the anxieties and hurts within her heart. Bring peace and comfort to her mind and spirit. Jesus, bring glory and honor to Your Name in her life... allow us the chance to rejoice with her as she is healed and set free. Amen.
AMEN!!!

Praying for Moriah...

Because we know that the name and blood of JESUS is higher than anything else in this world!

He is the name above ALL names, King of Kings and Lord of Lords -

NOTHING IS HIGHER THAN JESUS!

In the precious and powerful name of JESUS, I pray that Moriah would be SET FREE! In HIM, we have the victory over EVERY principality and stronghold :amen:

OK serious question now and i mean it soberly and solemnly.
What if each of you is endangering his or her faith experience by praying for a lost cause. Suppose for a moment that it turns out that I am actually Satan rendered in human flesh and therefore (according to common Christian belief though not all believe this way) cannot ever be saved, fixed, salvaged, redeemed, whatever. Thus every prayer you utter, every hope you raise on my behalf, is doomed to crash, doomed to be shattered, doomed to leave you staring helplessly at the bottomless chasm which separates your fondest hopes and aspirations concerning the promises of God's word and your understanding of His power from the stark, dire, bleak reality of the utter futility present in my "case". Time and again you will have your hopes raised only to be dashed where I am concerned. Time and again your minds will reach for the promises of God's word and power and then your eyes will behold ME lost in the Abyss, raging, howling in pain, infested with demons, trapped and imprisoned and in chains and be FORCED to reconcile this disparity, this discrepancy, between what you MUST believe God can accomplish versus what is very seriously NOT happening.

HOW do you plan to survive this? Don't you realize the only way it CAN end is in utter disaster and terror and being driven out into ultimate darkness for me? Don't you realize the ONLY resolution any of you will be able to find, eventually, is to conclude something along the lines of, "Ephraim is joined to his idols; let him alone" (Hosea 4:17) -- or, "We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed; let us leave her and each go to his own land, for her judgment reaches to the skies, it rises as high as the clouds." (Jeremiah 51:9). Don't you REALIZE that you are DOOMED to pass judgment upon me in the end, AFTER futility and pain and confusion from even caring AT ALL have wrung you out dry and spent and exhausted, weary and troubled and tormented from it? Don't you see that those who take the swifter course -- I probably cannot name names here without violating rules but many of you here (Ves, AJPM, SweetlyBroken, etc.) KNOW of whom I speak -- don't you see they have rushed there already and bypassed the HARD GRAFT you have all chosen ... but have SPARED THEMSELVES in the process???

What if I would spare you? What if I would tell you there is no hope, no deliverance for me -- that I know this, really know this, deep down, more certainly than I know anything else -- what if I were to go so far as to tell you I CHOOSE to be the way I am ... which is NOT exactly how it is but that seems to be what others wish to believe and wish me to believe as well so OK let's play with that, let's say I totally 100% of "my own free will" choose to be inhabited with demons, I CHOOSE to worship and adore the ones that own me, etc. What then?

Serious question please serious answers only -- nothing glib, no one-offs, no happy cheers, only answer if you are prepared soberly to think about this for real.

1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

My faith will sustain. If the only time one can follow Christ is when things are well, happy, good and - in our opinion - perfect, we must seriously question our commitment. I pray for you according to God's will. How can I be disappointed when I cannot claim to know the perfect Will of God? Even if praying for you would cause my demise - it is worth it! We ought to lay down our lives for our brothers (sisters!!!).

Don't you realize that "through Christ, all things are possible?" Don't you realize that you destruction is NOT the only way things can end here? Don't YOU realize, MORIAH, that there is still HOPE for you in God alone? Don't you realize that others have been through what you're going through and have SURVIVED? Don't you realize that you are a precious DAUGHTER of GOD? Your salvation does not go away. Christ does not redeem you and then say "Oh, sorry. I didn't know what I was doing when I took your sin upon Myself." Don't you know that our prayers DO NOT go unanswered? YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. HE HAS NOT FORSAKEN YOU! Don't you see that THOSE PEOPLE are instruments of evil, destruction, and pain? They are the opposite of LOVE and hence opposite of God Himself; for He IS Love!

There is hope. You do not "choose of your own free will" to be afflicted and oppressed by those who inhabit you! There is NO LOST CAUSE for those who have been covered by the Blood of the Lamb! If you DID choose that, I would still pray. My prayer would change a little and include something along the lines of "Let her will be changed. That she might know You intimately, O' God." I would not stop praying for you. I WILL NOT. I have been commanded by the Only Living God and I will not be swayed. You are unable to spare anyone - only He can do that.

You are loved, Moriah, our sister. Accept our love for you. YOU WILL BE FREE.

In Christ. Amen.

You asked.

From one who was labelled an utter lost cause and who believed that to be true to another.

We who walk this earth only have but a small and very limited glimpse of the Creators Agape. We have His book and through it His voice IS heard but our limited understanding can distort that voice.

No one is as God is.

Will I be fully healed in this world......no. Does he promise full healing at the end ...yes. I can wait.

You make a lot of assumptions that we will be able to see the abyss. Once with God when we are with the tree of life from which healing flows all pain suffering hurts and griefs will be gone. All delusions deceptions and distortions will be burned away faster than dew under the summer zenith.

I AM a survivor. I have seen the darkness as absolute for I was born in darkness not as you who walked into darkness carrying the taint of light of His light with you. You believe you are dark but you are NOT dark.

Humans cannot do as Christ can do for we are not God and all those you have quoted are but frail men from the OT who tried to live by the law. We have grace for we have Christ.

Do I beleive you will be healed in this world? No but there is deliverance at the gate were Christ waits for you because He knows who you are even when you are adrift.

Not rejecting your words but want to address a couple points:

I have seen the darkness as absolute for I was born in darkness not as you who walked into darkness carrying the taint of light of His light with you. You believe you are dark but you are NOT dark.

We are all born in darkness, to be born into this world at all is to be so born. And "if the light that is in you is turned to darkness, how great that darkness is!"

Also I did not walk into it. I was dragged away kicking, screaming and fighting as hard as I could but it might as well have been a toddler beating and the chest of a mighty giant who held her by the ankles in chains for all the good it did me.

And -- nothing to do with Ves here mind you all -- to hearken to the claims of one particularly recent vexing person on this board (not here in this thread THANK GOD) -- *I* am the one who SUFFERED as a result of God "not acting like God" during this whole freaking experience back in 1983; *I* am the one who has to suffer its "inexplicableness" and "wrongness" (as in not conforming to what the Word says we are to expect from God and have confidence in). So WHY should he imagine i have to accept HIS explanation which is even worse, which says I never knew God in the first place and never was saved??? :cry: it doesn't make any sense!! and then when he cannot gainsay my arguments -- my defenses in my own behalf -- he resorts to saying "you are all being decieved by demons!" meaning anyone who listens to me. :cry:

i don't want to be a bitter vindictive spiteful person but can you see how repeated blows over and over again in the same spots make me want to reach up and tear the flesh with my teeth and bare hands from the bones on some of these smug, self-satisfied, complacent self-serving DOLTS??? (and since i can't, guess whose flesh gets torn as convenient proxy. :( ) sorry if that's inappropriate, mods can remove it if it is. but i have no language to share how i feel if everything i need to say is going to be deemed "inappropriate" HELL LIFE ITSELF IS PRETTY FREAKING INAPPROPRIATE if you ask me. being able to get away with constantly haranguing and harassing one person because theya re "different" is HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE.
