• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

And Seducing Spirits. We are given a text which warns us of what would be coming in the end times....

1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

We find that many false doctrines are being spread in the Christian church and they are .truly 'doctrines of devils', that can be found almost everywhere these days..:

Secret rapture (All saved Christians will suddenly disappear with no Second Coming);
Hyper grace (You're free to do whatever you want, all is forgiven);
Amillennialism (The "second coming" and "millennial kingdom" are just metaphors);
Universalism (All are saved, and all religions lead to God);
New Age (Humans are divine and have no sin nature);
Prosperity gospel (Faith will bring you wealth and health, minus)
Social Justice (Common Good replaces Gospel)
Do we know of any others...

Yes.

Self righteousness. It's a sure killer of knowing God which is life eternal.
Complacency.
I know it all, which is self sufficiency.
Greed.
Materialism.
Socialism, which replaces God with government as the one to trust to take care of us. And tells us paying our "fair share" of taxes is charity thus excusing us from loving our fellow man.
Our church has a hot meals program so I don't need to be searching out those in need, those who are going hungry.
Practical Godliness is not important. There is more religion in a home made loaf of bread than in many sermons. EGW

The devil has deceptions prepared for every one of us.
