  • 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.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

Now for a dose of the bitter medicine, also known as the awful truth.


Are you hearing yourself?

This is what the Gospel is to you? You know, the GOOD News? Bitter medicine and an awful truth?

Judge dismisses James Comey and Letitia James cases, finding prosecutor's appointment invalid

Such a shame that a once well respected office has come down to this. Bondi should seek her pardon before Trump gets 25thed.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

And in. ISA 66:22 WHO is God speaking TOO.

# 1 TO Israel ?? And how. are you saved by the LAW , will you PROVIDE A VERSE. ?

# 2 To the BODY. of CHRIST. ??

dan p
For his saints Rev14:12 Rev22:14 that make it to the New Heaven and New Earth this clearly shows after His Second Coming Isa 66:22-23 for all flesh, not just Jews. This whole dichotomy that God only wants Jews to keep His Sabbath day holy, but Gentiles can profane God’s holy day Isa 58:13 is not one we can find in our Bibles Mat2:27 Isa56:6 Isa56:2

Seeking advice from lifelong virgins

I lost someone young too though with far different complications than what you have. I can say too that while it has lasting affects, the problem with my relationships has not been any sort of promise, but rather the idea of other women not measuring up.
While your promise is noble, I think you should void it. Why? because there is no marriage in heaven. I imagine the woman who died would want you to have a chance. I would confess that promise as a sin, and try to move on giving yourself at least the option for marriage. It seems likely you are hardwired for marriage, so trying to short circuit that now is going to result in some pain for you. In your confession, I would tell God too that you are sorry you made that promise too if you did not consult with Him. Chalk it up to trying to do the right thing, that ended up in tragedy, but please don't carry that tragedy much further. Honor her life by remembering her and learning to grow in Christ with all that God can bless you with including a wife and family.
As to comparisons of her to other women, you will be able to overcome that. You have to see your role and any future woman you date from God's perspective, not yours. I will say too that God is very compassionate when you lose someone close like that. He will certainly try to bless you out of that loss when the time is right. Am alternative that helped me too was to consider foreign women.
I am certain the whole ordeal is like a test to you, with all kinds of emotions and thoughts. Rather than having even a hint of blaming God, which you may or may not be doing, you have to dig deep and let the relationship serve to inspire you to do even greater things for God. That death in my life inspired me to become a Christian, to this day, decades later, it continues to help me care more about others. I pray her death will be a positive catalyst for you too in every way, including marriage if you find the right person. God bless.

Well, off we go

I wonder how many Leopards ate my face stories and how quickly we will be hearing them.

Pro-Trump Nurse Shocked He Removed Career From ‘Professional’ Degree List

Under the revamped list of professional degree programs, nursing and other key health care jobs were excluded, triggering debate over how this could affect nurses’ ability to get approved for student loans in the long run.

“Please remove the limitations of professions!” wrote Wendy Brindley Hines on Facebook. “As a PROFESSIONAL nurse who has her Masters Degree and as someone who has voted each time for you, I cannot believe that you would disrespect our profession!”

“Additionally, our middle daughter will graduate as a PT in 1 month, and our youngest is planning on becoming a Physician's Assistant. All of which take care of patients on a daily basis. Grad school is very expensive… trust me, I know! I have paid my way myself for each level of my education," she wrote.

Also kicked off the list of professions (for increased student loan support) were architects, accountants, educators and social workers.

Well, at least theology is still on the list. Maybe your kids can get loans and do faith healing.

Obama care collapsing.....

'No-win position': GOP careening towards crisis on health care plan

Lillis wrote, "The deadline has put Republican leaders into a no-win position: If they extend the tax credits, they’ll go on record for the first time augmenting a Democratic law they deem noxious while infuriating a conservative base that’s spent more than 15 years trying to kill it.

"If they don’t, the out-of-pocket health costs for millions of people will skyrocket heading into next year’s midterm elections, when Republicans are already at risk of losing control of the House."

Let's Track the Economy (with objective empirical data?)

Trump Canceling GDP Report Comes Under Scrutiny

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis said on Monday that it has canceled the release of its advance estimate of third-quarter GDP. [And no future release date has been set.]

The department said the release was being canceled due to disruption caused by the federal government shutdown, but the announcement has sparked criticism and speculation that the report is being held because of disappointing data.

Trump's Big Beautiful.....Gold Ballroom

Oh look, it's the "Live, Laugh, Love" font...

Tacky, trite, home decor - now coming to the Oval Office!
It's gone! Perhaps antifa has stolen it!

What happened?

The White House won't say — but a spokesperson insisted the president personally crafted the lettering.

'He is very involved in these beautification projects… [President Trump] is making the White House beautiful and giving it the glory it deserves,' the spokesperson said, adding that only those suffering from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' would object.

How old is the earth?

The truth of GOD can only be known by the elected saints of GOD. The carnal world will call GODS truth foolishness. We can know even the deep things of GOD. By the way, the holy spirit is the FATHER. The FATHER is holy and is spirit and as Jesus said is the only true GOD. HE is the GOD and FATHER of Jesus and through Jesus our GOD too. These are hard things , impossible things for the world to comprehend.
Good Lord - where does all this nonsense come from?
The wisdom of GOD is foolishness.

Church is boring

I haven’t been going to church in a while. I feel like it’s boring. I find myself daydreaming and the sermons are good, but I really don’t like to sing or stand up. I like just saying prayers and even though the sermons are good, I don’t feel like going. I’m not really getting anything out of the Bible study, either, which is online. When I do go to church, I do tithe.
Am I falling away or is this not the right church for me? The people are nice.

Independents....

I'll be the first to say this is an old poll and I am more than welcome to see new contradictory evidence if it can be presented but....
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/14/politics/independents-pew

I have never really met a self identified "Independent" who has had a truly centrist position (or; who argues "both sides" with equal vigor)

What do you all think of Independents? IF you are one, do you believe that you are an exception to that rule?

Pro's and con's of using AI in political debate.

1) If there are citations provided for AI information that's okay as a one off. But if a poster insist on just replying to me with AI repeatedly, I'm not interested in that at all. If they use it to FIND citations, put things in their own words, I also got no problem with that.

This whole "winning and losing" thing is ridiculously juvenile to me.

2) I also am not a fan of the "ai" avalanche (which, as someone else said, is a bit of a Bernoli's Law thing going on).
Give me ONE argument to address.

Rash of ICE impersonation follows Trump immigration crackdown, police say

Church employee in Texas allegedly posed as ICE agent to extort woman

Donald Doolittle, 58, a safety director at the Gateway Community church in Webster, south-east of Houston, has been charged with impersonating a public servant.

According to police, Doolittle booked and received a massage from a woman operating out of a north-west Houston office building.

Police said Doolittle then pulled out an ID card labelled “ICE”, identified himself as an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent, and asked to see the woman’s identification. She showed him her temporary visa but Doolittle allegedly then demanded money.

“He demanded she Zelle him $500 or he would take her away and she would never see her family or children again,” a magistrate said during a court hearing on Saturday.
