  • 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.

Carcinophobia (Fear of Cancer)

Hello all,

Can I ask that you please direct me to some scripture or lead me in prayer re: a debilitating fear I have had my whole life - carcinophobia.

It is a distracting phobia that robs me of my joy in life and distracts me from Christ due to anxiety, worry, fear, rumination etc.

Thank you all for your help, as always, God bless.
May God fill you with the peace the world cannot give! May he keep you in the palm of his hand!

The Return of Latin and Why It Matters

When I hear the Agnus Dei in Latin, I still have to try and translate it mentally
to English in my mind. Latin is the official language of the Church having to do
with documents. However, it's not the mandate in Mass celebrate as the ordinary
throughout the Church.
At my parish, during Lent and Advent, the Mass parts are usually sung in Latin. It's become almost second nature to me.

Anti-Muslim Bigotry Directed at Mamdani

Newsweek factcheck

Fact Check: Is Mamdani Introducing Arabic Numerals To New York Schools?

It appears to stem from a misunderstanding—or a deliberate attempt to provoke controversy or generate ridicule—by using a term that some readers may find unfamiliar even though it refers to the numbers Americans already use. But some social media users may have taken it seriously.

The claim caused a stir online, with some X users condemning Mamdani.

[Including pardoned convicted J6 felon and current West Virginia state House member Derrick Evans.]

The Ruling​

False.

Mamdani has not said he will introduce Arabic numerals to New York schools.

Oh and some bonus Derrick Evans:

What is the true congregation?

Delvianna, did you understand my hint ? Another hint, church members are called the elect by Jesus and the Apostles and also in the prophets. As far as I know no other people were called the elect except ancient Israel. GOD did chose ancient Israel as the elect of the old covenant but Christians are the elect in the new covenant. In times past, before Jesus, GOD worked with people from Able to Christ. Remember there were saints raised from the dead when Jesus was thus indicating there were indeed saints before Jesus. Matthew 27:52-53 This passage creates a mystery for many people. Hebrews 1:1-2 it was only in the last days that GOD now only works through Jesus but before this GOD worked through the prophets to the “fathers” , this would be the root of the olive tree in Romans 11 and the people mentioned in Hebrews 11 . Jesus said Abraham rejoiced to see my day and saw it and was glad. Abraham and all the people in Hebrews 11 saw things afar off, Hebrews 11:13 and GOD even preached the gospel to Abraham, Galatians 3:8 We are of the same faith as Abraham except we are on the other side of Christ, they knew what we know before Christ and we after Christ, but its still the same Christ. Remember, the church is built on the foundation of the prophets and the Apostles, Christ the cornerstone, and this entire structure is a the dwelling place for GODS spirit. This is what I believe GOD has taught me through the mediator Jesus. According to what I read in scripture GODS Holy Spirit is the only teacher of HIS church through the mediator Jesus Christ as Jesus said. John 6:44-45 Isaiah 54:13 1 John 2:27 John 14:26 John 16:13 Even though these words are very plain why do so many not believe them ? The warning of a great deception has been given that in the last days perilous times would come. There are numerous verses of scripture that tell us this. However, if only GODS spirit through Jesus is our teacher then it would not be possible to deceive the elect.

CNN Dem Panelist Shocks Jennings with Major Admission on Lawfare Against Trump

What a stupid argument. Are you seriously arguing that nobody on the left has any spiritual fruits?

This is the distraction you make when you can't defend the rapist pedophile and list any of his spiritual fruits?


It's tell you can't list any.
Open a thread on it and I'll join you-
This thread is about the shocking admitting of lawfare towards the President as a political tactic

One we all knew.

Multi's Thoughts and More

When my sleep returns to normal, I want to become a better person. This experience has opened my eyes to how foolish and ungrateful I've been in the past, frequently complaining about things that were nothing compared to what I've gone through over the past several months. I didn't realize how blessed I was to get adequate sleep most nights and have only milder anxiety. In the future, I want to practice gratitude more and complain less. I want to make the necessary changes to finally overcome anxiety for real.

Border Patrol agent accused of drunkenly attacking Long Beach police after entering women's bathroom is found dead at home

Nothing to see here, just your average accidental overdose or suicide. Case closed.
He had major power over people. And could have been under the influence of drugs. While detaining people, that behaved better then he did.
