  • 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

Psalms 119:165 "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them".

It amazes me that people will go to other people for advice.....when the Bible, is geared, to solve any problem or situation in life !

There are over 2500+ Promises in scripture to deal with everything, that happens to anyone !

Christians, is Christ revealed in us?

We must labor to have sound bodies and strong minds that are not easily enfeebled, minds that look beyond self to the cause and result of every movement made.

Then we are in a fair way to endure hardness as good soldiers.

We need minds that can see difficulties and go through with them with the wisdom that comes from God, that can wrestle with hard problems and conquer them.....
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

11:30 For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.


The hardest problem is to crucify self, to endure hardness in spiritual experiences, training the soul by severe discipline.

This will not, perhaps, bring the very best satisfaction at the first, but the aftereffect will be peace and happiness.

Dear SilverSurfer


While there is much TRUTH to your statement you deny GOD'S ability to use HIS HOLY SPIRIT.


You also do not take into consideration the COMMAND that JESUS gave to us:

" GO FORTH UNTO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL "

Not all folks know the same thing. We are given certain GIFTS, and we lack ability in other area's.


That's not to mean we don't have need for the things we have not the ability to have, so therefore we need advise to cover these area's. This is covered in the different parts of the BODY of CHRIST.


If it was as clear cut as you speak of it, then JESUS would of just had us give out BIBLES.


IT'S NOT HARD FOR US TO ASK FOR WHAT WE LACK IF WE WILL REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O
( click on the x and drag to the O ) ( then see who is with you ) steven

Well, I already am crucified with Him, thank you very much

As for having the bible, historically, most people don't. The bible as we know it is about the same age as the printing press. I believe we should rely more on the Spirit than the scriptures.

1 John 4:1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:

not all spirits are of God, How are you to discern them if you have no standard for it?

Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God's law, I will also forget your children.

Prov 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

We have to have the scriptures how can you preach the Gospel without the Gospel?

You just answered your own question :)

The gospel does not equal the scriptures. I believ the gospel is alive an well quite apart from whether or not people have the sriptures.

I testify of what I've seen and experienced.
