  • 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.

Peace in Christ.

All mortal flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

The grass withers and the flower falls away.

But the Word of the Lord endures forever….and so does the flesh of those who will DO His Word.

It is His flesh that has eternal life and manifests through us….as He gives His flesh for the life of this world. We are saved mortally through Him.

Then the rest of the world shall hear the “everlasting gospel”…the everlasting good news for the here-and-now. They have not heard it because fleshly-minded men have been preaching “another gospel”.

The word of men has been preaching another supposed “good news”….one in which we have to “die and go to Heaven” when the Word of God LIVES and abides forever. It is everlasting….and so will be those who will do it.

1Pe 1:23-25 KJV
(23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
(24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
(25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.


He that DOES the will of God abides forever…and this eternal life is for the here-and-now.

Do not believe those who are preaching the supposed “good news” of the many antichrists (the many “another Jesuses”) who say that Jesus SHALL COME someday.

Jesus “delays His coming” according to them. Meanwhile, people are still perishing away in their mortal flesh to the grave while they wait.

We have all heard this in their preaching. This is NOT the everlasting good news of Jesus the true Christ. This is not the doctrine of THE Christ that they are preaching. We must not receive them in our homes.

1Jn 2:17-18 KJV
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.


The thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy. We must not reckon the true Jesus to be among them in their preaching.

The judgment shall sit eventually and their dominion….their rule over us….to consume and destroy us shall be taken away.

Dan 7:26-27 KJV
(26) But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.


The Lord’s kingdom is an EVERLASTING kingdom….not a “dying” one. The good news is everlasting and not a “dying and going to Heaven” one. This is good news for us now as salvation is NOW.

(27) And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

This is why the good news of the kingdom (that it is EVERLASTING and not a dying one) shall be preached in all of the world for a witness unto all nations.

They have not heard the true good news of Jesus Christ. They have only been hearing the supposed good news that Jesus shall come someday….but we die as we wait for him. They have completely missed the point that the eternal life is to be had now in this mortal body and not after we “die and go to Heaven”.

Mat 24:13-14 KJV
(13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
(14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Rom 6:20-23 KJV
(20) For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
(21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
(22) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
(23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


The “everlasting gospel” will be preached unto those who “dwell upon the earth”….and to the rest of the world.

Rev 14:6 KJV
(6) And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,


We are to set our affections on things above and not on things on the earth.

Those who “dwell on the earth” (setting their affection there) are easily deceived by the false prophets who come preaching a decoy for you to receive….to receive “another jesus”…. and not the true Jesus who is the true Christ. Those who are deceived by them do not die to sin but instead continue to serve it.

In doing so, they lead us away from the path to leads to His manifest life and down the broad way to the destruction of our mortal flesh…our mortal bodies.

Col 3:2-6 KJV
(2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
(3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.


We are “dead” to sin and our life which is hid with Christ in God will be made manifest outwardly in our mortal flesh. We shall appear (make apparent ….shine) with His manifested life….appearing with Him in glory for others in the world to see. They will then see in us (the manifest eternal life of Jesus) what it means to DO His will.

(4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

We are to deaden (mortify) our members which are upon the earth.

We “kill” sin daily with the sword of the Spirit. The tree of life is kept by the “flaming sword” that turns in every way.

We are to keep the daily sacrifice of our Lord in our mortal bodies….always bearing about in the body the dying of our Lord ….so that we may receive the promise of His eternal life in the here-and-now.

Again: when Christ, who is our life, shall be made manifest in our outer mortal flesh, then we appear with Him in glory as this dark and dying world shall see His life and praise God above.

But we must slay the sin through the Spirit.

Let us not “dwell upon the earth” but instead mortify the things of the flesh and dwell upon things above only.

(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

The children of disobedience will not mortify their members which are upon the earth even though they have received His Spirit. The wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of “disobedience”…

Disobedience = disbelief because they do not practice their professed faith (actively dying to sin).

If we through the Spirit (sword of the Spirit) do mortify/kill/slay the deeds of the body, we shall live…receiving His eternal life in this mortal body. If we continue to live after the flesh (dwelling upon the earth….setting our affections upon the earth), we shall die.

Rom 8:12-13 KJV
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
(13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.


Those who set their affections on the earthly things are tricked into worshipping “another jesus” who is a wild animal and is not the “Lamb slain”. All that “dwell upon the earth” shall worship the first beast…another jesus.

We are to set our affections on things above and not “dwell upon the earth”….setting our affections there.

We are to keep the daily sacrifice of the “Lamb slain” so that we may have His eternal life….having our names written in the book of life.

Rev 13:8-9 KJV
(8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
(9) If any man have an ear, let him hear.


If we keep His “daily”….having Him daily in the “temple” (our mortal body)….then those who come forth to deceive and whose goal is to take away His eternal life from us have no power over us.

But as soon as we become “weary” in well doing, then they have the power to deceive us. When we fall “asleep” to doing His righteousness, they have the power to deceive us.

Luk 22:53 KJV
(53) When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

Let us not be weary in well doing (always sowing to the Spirit) because in due season we shall reap His everlasting life if we faint not. If we ENDURE TO THE END....not becoming weary in well doing....we shall reap life everlasting (the same shall be saved).

Gal 6:8-9 KJV
(8) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.


If we become weary in well doing, the false prophets come forth to deceive us when we “dwell upon the earth”….having our affections on there…instead of dwelling on things above (the fruit of the Spirit: love, peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, etc).

They come up “out of the earth” ….that is, they only are minding earthly things. They have the form of godliness but they deny its power by their preaching. They do not preach the true good news of Christ.

Rev 13:11-12 KJV
(11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

They preach “another jesus”…the first beast…in accordance with the working of Satan. They cause those who dwell in the earthly things to worship their “jesus”…the first beast who deadly wound was healed.

The “deadly wound” is healed because the “daily sacrifice” of the Lamb slain is stopped. It ceases to be kept when those who are deceived by them to worship “another jesus” who is not the Christ but is the “instead-of” the true Christ. The keeping of the “daily” sacrifice is removed....and so they perish.

(12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Another “beast”…the false prophet…comes up out of the earth.

That is, they “mind earthly things”.

They are enemies of the cross of Christ as they deny the power of it to kill sin from our lives so that we may receive His eternal life now. They promise us “liberty” from it instead. And so their followers continue to serve sin….. “sinners saved by grace” supposedly.

Php 3:18-21 KJV
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Our “conversation”…that is, our citizenship …should be in Heaven…and not to “dwell upon the earth”….upon earthly things.

We continue to live on this planet but we are to serve the higher things of the Spirit as those who are in Heaven do.

By doing so (according to the “working”), He is able to subdue all things unto Himself.

He changes our humiliated mortal bodies so that it is fashioned like unto His. This can only come about by the “working” of the keeping of His daily sacrifice where we die to sin continually and sowing always according to the Spirit.

(20) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(21) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
