  • 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.

Greetings all ,

A lot of people have questioned the purpose of life ? Where did we come from ? Where are we going ? I myself have cried out for understanding from my youth .

In a brief summation this is the gist of what has be revealed thus far -

God exists eternally , without beginning or end . ( This is for the most part currently incomprehensible so not a lot more can be said , other than God is far greater than we can think or imagine .)

God is Love . God , through Christ , created everything and everyone for to share , seeking even to raise up some that could be shared with on the highest level ( face to face ) .

But this is no easy task , ( not that it's hard for God ) but it's difficult for the " nothing " we start out as , to rightly receive , apply , and be properly integrated into so lofty a state of being .

And because , ( being as God ) requires having free will , ( because no one bosses God around ) , we too need to embrace The Spirit of God & Mind of Christ out of our own good choosing .

And if that were the only choice presented us - well it wouldn't really be a " choice ", then would it ?!

So , an adversary comes along , which contradicts God's words , and now we have to choose who we listen to .

And this adversary is fueled with the ability to be stronger than us , if we draw only upon our natural strength . Plus his contempt for us stems from the fact , that we stand to gain what he is losing / has lost , due to the dishonorable nature of the role he's undertaken .

But God provides a way for us to draw upon His Divine Strength through calling upon the name of Jesus .

This allows for us to be enabled to endure , overcome , and rise up to heaven , from quite humble beginnings , where we will be able to have a more enhanced perspective than the angels which fell away , so that we , together with the angels who remained faithful to God , can be joined together as one joyously , grateful , heavenly family , with which God can share great and glorious things with , without us turning or twisting those things around - for our constitution will be permanently immersed and ingrained with the kind of astute loyalty and enduring faithfulness which only a dramatic , momentous , and clearly unmerited life saving rescue can inspire .

Hence , the need for Jesus to suffer , bleed , and die for our sins !

And this is God's Plan from the beginning of creation . And it is all still being worked out according to His Will . In a narrow perspective , there's much amiss all around ... but in the broad view ... the Plan is surely / swiftly becoming the Reality !

May The Lord Be Pleased !

"...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb.12v2.
All glory to our Saviour!
