  • 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.

If you read nothing else about this message, at least read the last part.

The birth of Jesus was foretold as early as Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Right after the fall of Adam and Eve the Lord spoke to Satan and pronounce his defeat. Satan was the one who deceived Eve through telling her a lie.

The word enmity means hatred. There would be hate between the woman seed and Satan seed. What I see here is very interesting God was talking to the serpent who was Satan.

Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

I do not know of anyone that is teaching about Satan's seed. Seed meaning offspring, therefore, was Satan going to produce children or evil spirit? I am just throwing that in here for you to think about. The lord willing I will give a lesson on what all that means later.

For now we are looking at the earliest prediction of Jesus being born. The Lord God said to the serpent: I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between, thy seed and her seed:

The woman would be Mary. We know that now since it has already taken place.
Why is Jesus called the seed of a woman? Since the father is the one that is considered to carry the seed.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and He would not be the seed of man. Mary would conceive and bring baby Jesus into the world without losing her virginity.

All through scripture we see prophecy of Jesus being born and coming into the world and defeating Satan.

This is Christmas time of the year and a very joyous time celebrating the birth of Jesus. As a parent it is a joy giving gifts to our children, family, and friends.

Nevertheless, Christmas time is a time for some that brings stress and sadness. One reason it brings stress to Christians is they do not have the money to buy for their kids, family and friends.

My prayer and I ask you to pray for those who do not have a job or those who have a job but still do not have enough to buy for their love ones.

Pray that we all will stay in focus on what Christmas time is all about and that is our savior birth.

Pray for those who do not have the money to buy for others that this will be the most joyful time of the year because our savior was born. Pray that we all share our love with kids, family, and friends.

I know it is a difficult time for them when everyone is sharing gifts, and they do not have gifts to give. I Know because I and my wife has been in that situation in the passed.

Pray they will not feel left out, pray that the Lord Jesus will fill them with His love and that His birth is what we are celebrating. Pray that we all rejoice and praise God for His gift that He gave through a virgin called Mary.

If you are around someone you know are not able to buy gifts;
be an encouragement to them talk to them about the most important thing about Christmas is the gift God gave and not the gifts we give.
