  • 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.

Harris’ liberal record is hiding in plain sight

So it was Biden's plan to inundate our country with far- Left policies, and to crash our economy?
“Things-are-bad-all-over” is a political trope at this point, as all of the numbers suggest that the economy is simply chugging along nicely.

What is your favorite Catholic Bible version?

I had one of those too, a NT issued to Catholic soldiers in WWII. It eventually fell apart because I took it everywhere. I have a Confraternity reprint now, same translation, same pocket size, not military issue but same idea.
Yup. Mine from sixth grade is well worn too. It introduced my great love for sacred scripture.

Can demons possess children?

Yes, Berean Literal Bible, Mark 9:


S1 was demon-possessed.


childhood
Strong's 3812: From childhood, from early boyhood. Adverb from paidion; from infancy.


child/boy’s
Strong's 3813: Neuter diminutive of pais; a childling, i.e., an infant, or a half-grown boy or girl; figuratively, an immature Christian.

Whether or not a child is demon-possessed, surround them with prayers. Matthew 18:


Luke 18:


Demons can possess children. Pray for them. The kingdom of God belongs to innocent children.
Demons possess kids once per year, when they dress up as evil creatures every October 31. ;)

Trump: States he has every right to interfere in a Presidential Election

Lewisham Council in London, England, has removed a Progress Pride flag from its headquarters following allegations of political bias and a threat of a High Court injunction.

The complaint was lodged by Christian political candidate Maureen Martin, who accused the council of violating the Local Government Act by displaying the flag during an election period.

Martin, representing the Christian Peoples’ Alliance in Lewisham East, initiated legal action through her lawyers, who warned the council that they would seek injunctive relief in the High Court unless the flags were taken down.

The Social Conservatives Safe House (4)

I wonder if the question really will be how will conservative and adjacent thinkers survive and be successful in a society that is hostile to them and wouldn't mind seeing them die, and the technology for oppressing people is getting much greater, even beyond our comprehension. And I am frightened of our country falling. It's like the ultimate loss of a loved one.

There are extremists on both sides religious and otherwise. As tribalism increases and they find each other you'll realize how far we've gone. If your position breeds hostility the sensible thing is to exercise discrimination when sharing your views. No one can read your mind.

A True Church

Has anyone ever heard of this guy before? He goes by the name Darwin Fish (yes, I know it's ironic for someone who believes in creationism).

A True Church
It's funny to read what Darwin Fish, says about departing from scripture, while he himself departs from it at every point he. This is hypocrisy at it's worst.

The true title of his Church, should be "A True Church Of Satan".

A Church which serves Satan, always imposes impossible conditions to attain salvation. But God said salvation is a gift.
Those who attach endless requirements to salvation, keep their victims trapped on a hamster wheel, where they never reach the goal of salvation at the end of the wheel.

An animal rescue charity has successfully evacuated two lionesses from a war-affected part of Ukraine, and one has just been filmed taking her first steps into a new, calmer world.

Yuna the lioness had never even felt grass beneath her paws—having been raised in captivity in a small concrete enclosure. She had been traumatized long before the arrival of Russian bombs.

In concert with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, England, organized the retrieval and air transport of Yuna out of Ukraine in an operation that took 30 hours.

The Evangelical Problem

Sharon Hayes: “Our isolation from those we perceive as less than us …”

There is a need to control our borders and it has little to do with looking down on anyone. Let me give you a story from personal experience. Years ago, I applied for a job with a good sized company. I was an American, living in the United States. The Personnel Director liked the looks of my resume, so he set up an interview with the person I would be working for. In this interview the man was from Pakistan. He asked me three questions, none having anything to do with my professional qualifications.

The three questions I was asked:

Are you married?
Do you live with your parents?
Are you an American?

I didn’t get the job. It’s not a question of being nice to foreigners. They are hiring and firing us, and they don’t hesitate to apply their prejudices.
I get that and I've been there.

First Fruits of Zion


I know nothing about First Fruits of Zion, but above is the link to their doctrinal statement. It is an extremely brief doctrinal statement. There are a lot of gaps in the statement and theological issues that they do not comment on. I would have questions about their doctrine myself, but on the other hand, if you are not looking to join their fellowship, and merely thinking of reading their literature or a book, assuming you read with discernment, what can the harm be?

In my own experience, I have started reading books, got disgusted, and quit reading the book. If you read something and assess it, I believe there is a thread for book reviews.

10 REASONS WHY ORTHODOX JEWS ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP

A Temple will likely be built
I think so too. Though I certainly wish Israel and the Jewish people well, I fear the temple and things to do with it are going to lead a lot of people astray, spiritually speaking. Want to say more but this probably isn't the right place/thread to discuss it.
