• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Possibly, Jesus means the name He has been given, now that He has obeyed God by dying and has risen from the dead.

Because Jesus has so humbled Himself by coming to us in human flesh and blood, now Jesus has been given "the name which is above every name" > in Philippians 2:9.

The name possibly is not only some label, of what to call Jesus. But one's name can mean your position because of who you are and how you have proven yourself.

And by obeying Jesus, we share with Him in all He has and pleases to share. Part of our name . . . our standing with God . . . is that our Father loves us as He has loved Jesus > John 17:20-23. This is a new thing which has to do with our name we have with God . . . Jesus sharing this with us.
