  • 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.

Using prayer instead of only praying

I used to only pray. I prayed for everything. "Please God, give me this, give me that, let this happen, let than happen, give me this, give me that." That used to be my model of a God-human relationship. Since then I evolved. Prayer doesn't end with "amen." It ends with the words "mission accomplished." What I mean is that when I pray I always ask for wisdom, and without fail to this very day God gave it to me. That doesn't end there. With the wisdom God gave me I set foot into my goals. I allow God to work in me to do awesome things. Instead of waiting for some "still quiet voice" I set forth on my mission and get my hands dirty and get things done.

The quantum realm is an extremely interesting thing. It shows how blatantly obvious God exists. This sense of infinity permeates through all the fabric of our lives, that is if we take the time to understand it. Magnifying the infinite quantum realm displays the harmony in which God uses his word to explain all things are possible, and how any doubt is not from him but only from human nature. Your perception outside of the Word is relative. Matter only exists when you observe it, and anything outside observation lies only probability. Your mind creates your perception, your reality. You choose to observe something, but how does it come to existence? God creates reality, he creates the very thoughts and desires you have. If this happens in a subatomic arena, then it happens across the entire strata of matter. God placed a desire in me, and he through me sent me to accomplish a fragment of it. I use this infinity law to my own benefit so that in return I can bless others. Faith and prayer isn't a one way street. I take physical steps after the praying.

You pray, and have faith. But what exactly is faith, and where does it end? To which body/mind sensation does it extend to? Truth is, it doesn't. Faith has no limits, so why do we act like it does? Faith to move mountains. When I have faith in something I believe it not only with my mind, but with my sense of sight, taste, smell, hearing, touch. I anticipate something not only logically, but I ready myself to receive what I ask for. I want something but don't get it. Am I ready to receive it? Have I studied, worked towards this thing for which I have asked?

I have nothing to lose to believe, yet I have nothing to lose if I don't. Obviously I'd choose to believe so I'd have a chance at getting it than not believing at all.

So yeah, this is what I learned the past few years.
