  • 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.

The tree of life

When men turn to the Lord to be saved, of course the first thing they want is to know the one who is saving them. To make things right with the Lord. The bible is there for you to study and there is your labour. The labour is the labour of the mind to seek out the lord, to seek out the scriptures and find the meanings there of. To seek out the parables and find their meaning. Now the ( Fruit ) of your labours is knowledge and this is what we all need, knowledge of the father. The scriptures are given in grave dark teachings and the meanings are as a mendering stream. The stream of living waters. Before you you see life and death. The spirit is the life and the spiritual teachings are the eturnal teachings. You go to church and the minister is like a tree but you go to the bible and they are trees too. So you eat the fruit of the labours, the knowledge given by them but again the word is given in the sinful way, good and evil. The bad seeds are planted with the good seed. As soon as you read the bible you have eaten of the knowledge of good and evil but these teachings are not there to put you and hold you in bondage, they are there that you might eat of the living teachings and come forth from them. Like Jesus saying come forth Lazerath. Even in the beginning they say man has become like one of us and will surly die lest he come forth and take of the tree of life. The spiritual teachings are the life of the word and the man teaching then is the tree of life and that church that teaches them is the tree of life. The tree of life is in the midst and Jesus was in the midst and his disciples were also trees in the garden. The garden of eden is right there before you eyes and when you see the spiritual teachings you are in the garden as Adam was in the beginning.

You should not listen to your ministers,you should do your OWN studies,and have your own interpretation of the Bible instead of following the popular trend...
I don't mean stop listening to ministers completely or stop going to Church,I mean if you see a minister make a mistake correct him,if you can study the Bible yourself,do it,do not let ministers tell you what the Bible is about...

You should NOT call a minister a ''tree of life''
Jesus is the tree of life not a man who preaches from a Church!

2 Peter 1:19-21:19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Man, I give you an interpretation of the tree of Life and you turn that into a judgement against men and women that minister the word of God. I don't like that Spirit.

I did not turn it into a Judgemnet,I was Just trying to say you should do your own studies and not always listen to the minister etc
The Bible is a good book to study and read,do you read it or do you Just let your minister preach it to you?
