This is unacceptable.

The Word of God [the Bible] tells us that He is the Creator of all things. He has the ability to do anything that he chooses. He made the earth and set humans upon it.
It’s been nearly 2000 years since the last time we were given Divine instructions, that is: as written in the Bible. Since then, people have mostly pursued their own interests, worshipping false gods, promoting evolution and denying the existence of their Creator.

We are told that thousands of years ago people were in a similar situation, having degenerated into apostasy and sin. Only one righteous man and his family were kept alive as God destroyed all the rest by a worldwide flood. Jesus predicted that ‘once again it will be as in the days of Noah’ and when He comes again, we should be prepared. Matthew 24:37-44

The Creator God ‘reset civilization’ in Noah’s day and now we are facing the same judgement. God promised after the Flood, to never again use water or wipe out life so completely. Genesis 9:11
But in Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-35, He tells us of a terrible fire punishment stored up for His enemies, on their Day of Doom. Isaiah 54:9-10

There are many descriptions in the prophesies of this sudden and devastating worldwide Day of fire and earthquakes, most are either ignored or allegorized because people cannot see any literal fulfilment. The biggest difficulty that most have, is realizing the difference between the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath and the Return of Jesus in His glory.

Isaiah 13:9-13 The Day of the Lord is coming, that cruel Day of wrath and fierce anger, to reduce the earth to desolation and to destroy the wicked there. The sun, moon and stars will give no light. Humans will become scarce, as rare as fine gold and the earth will quake at the wrath of God on the Day of His blazing anger.

This and many other prophesies cannot be reconciled with the glorious Return of Jesus, when ‘every eye will see Him’. It is clearly stated that on the Day of wrath, He will not be seen. Psalms 18:11, Habakkuk 3:4, Psalms 11:4-6

We are told in Revelation 6:17, that the Sixth Seal judgement is the Day of the Lord’s wrath and then the Seventh Seal is an ‘about a 20 year’ time gap when the world recovers, enabling righteous Israel, that is; every faithful Christian, from every race, nation and language, Revelation 5:9-10, to return to the holy Land and the rise of a One World government. Then, after most of the rest of the prophesies are fulfilled, Jesus will Return and commence His Millennial reign.

The main reason that most people fail to get what the Bible tells us, is that the Lord has placed on us a spirit of misunderstanding and ‘If you confuse yourself, then you will stay confused’ Isaiah 29:9-12. Only in the last days, before this shocking event, will a few finally understand what the Lord has planned. Daniel 12:9-10

*Revelation 8:1 The Seventh Seal... there was silence in heaven for about a half hour...
This time period is for ‘about a half hour in heaven’, and Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8, tell us that one day to God in heaven is the same as a thousand years on earth. Therefore, a half hour of heavenly time calculates to 20.8 years of earthly time. So then ‘about 15- 20 years’, is right for all that must happen, starting very soon.

While the DOJ claimed in an indictment filed on November 9 that the officers opened the door themselves, body-cam footage viewed by the San Francisco district attorney’s office confirms that it was Pelosi who let them into the home, a source who personally viewed the footage told the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit.

This why I called for the release of body-cam footage from the beginning--but like other important information for the American people they waited until after the election. The DOJ has a recent history of corruption and needs to be dealt with.

I’m joy. I’ve been a Christian all my life but rededicating my life to Jesus currently on a walk

House Republicans are zeroing in on President Biden’s direct involvement in an array of potentially illegal business dealings spearheaded by his son Hunter Biden.


Republicans who will soon run the House Oversight and Reform and Judiciary committees fired their first shot across the president’s bow on Thursday by laying out evidence that they say “raises troubling questions” about whether Mr. Biden has been “compromised by foreign governments.” They pledged to expand their investigation into Mr. Biden when Republicans control the House in the next Congress, which convenes in January.

Newly revealed body-cam footage reportedly contradicts the Department of Justice’s account of the sequence of events that led up to the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, confirming that Pelosi opened the door for the police officers who responded to the 911 call he placed from his residence.

There are no clear instructions or helpful tools to navigate this website and forum without frustration or with success beyond the most obvious; it's like playing the lotto especially after updating the platform and/or changing guidelines. Please forgive me and my criticism and truthfulness. An instruction page or tutorials would be helpful to navigate this forum.

Instruction Page: List each function, tab or tool bar tabs/icons directing us to that function and/or information as instructions, the obvious is not necessary, but I click on things that are in blue font our tool bars and tabs highlighted blue or with blue font, but it doesn't take me anywhere like the other highlighted or blue font tabs normally would/should (Use a different color if not a tab leading to another link). If you want me to pay for a better functioning forum, tell me "You must pay" then showing me a credit card icon. If any aspect of this forum is free, please list how that works or how you work in the future or that is simply manipluation and not of God; like the rest of the world.

What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Even if you are spending it by yourself I'd love to hear.

Impassibility (from Latin in-, "not", passibilis, "able to suffer, experience emotion") describes the theological doctrine that God does not experience pain or pleasure from the actions of another being. It has often been seen as a consequence of divine aseity, the idea that God is absolutely independent of any other being, i.e., in no way causally dependent. Being affected (literally made to have a certain emotion, affect) by the state or actions of another would seem to imply causal dependence.

Do you believe that God is impassable? Feel free to vote and/or explain.

I decided to do a fast where I drink water and seek the lord except I ran out of water. So I ran down and had done Coca-Cola I just couldn’t think or sleep really hungry.

from: Here's how candidates endorsed by Trump performed in the midterm elections


ok so that is an "odd" result to then have all the liberal doom-and-gloom summaries about Trump as if the election results demonstrate that he did not know up from down about elections. It is almost as if the rule they use is "if Trump does not perform miracle then we can ignore his views".

I looks to me like he is still taking up a lot of real estate in liberal news minds these days.

A priest of the Diocese of Münster, Germany, Father Hermann Backhaus, said that consuming pornography “can have a relieving effect” on celibate people. He also considers it a “very strong” statement to associate the devil with pornography, as Pope Francis did at a meeting with seminarians in Rome last month.

Backhaus has been a priest since 2001. He works as a psychologist in an accompaniment center for people in the service of the Catholic Church. At the center he offers support with the aim of “growing in interior freedom” and “recognizing and living the vocation given by God.”

This work, as explained on his website, is offered to full-time pastoral workers, religious, and people preparing for those ministries.

In an interview with Katolisch.de, the news outlet of the Catholic Church in Germany, Backhaus warned against “the somewhat dirty connotation” attributed to the term pornographic.

I just noticed that newer CF posts are dated "tomorrow" or "later today" so I'm getting to see posts before they are posted.

It looks like the CF clock is getting confused by time zones. I live on the east coast of Australia which is 17 hours ahead of the west coast of the US. so my today is your tomorrow and my yesterday is your today.

The time/date stamp I'm seeing is operating relative to US time.

The old CF remembered where you were up to in each thread and provided a "Go to first unread" button to pick up where you left off.

Does the new format have the same facility?

I am curious how long it will take before House Republicans bring up articles of impeachment. I give it less than a year.

I've been having a lot of sleepless nights lately with trying to start my own freelancing business in SEO, as well as running a YouTube channel and engaging in multiple other ambitions endeavours where I'm constantly neglecting or rejecting things in my life. Since the age of 9 my mother had abandoned the Church that we went to which removed the sense of stability I had in my life, ever since then I've just been living in chaos and lack conscientiousness. I used to think that I was alright living in this chaos and being ambivalent in my beliefs, I never dedicated myself to any faith fully before except from my brief stints in Buddhism. In fact, I was more inclined to read books written by non-believers and atheists, where success became my sense of identity. My identity became correlated with what I could achieve and recently I've been very boastful of this.

I have a cat at home called Snowdrop, she is a 1-year-old shorthaired indoor cat who is very playful and curious. Recently she ate plastic, causing an argument with my family where my dad is trying to deter me from going to the vets because we don't have the money (I'm basically unemployed) and I had this dream as a result of this where I was in the middle of the riot. In fact, this is a recurring dream from when I was younger where I stole a box of Lego and was hunted down by authorities. In this dream, I suddenly raged and started a riot. I fumbled through the crowd to meet the men in charge, the police officers at a mall type of convention full of children, who started mocking me. Angered, I tried to break the glass atop of a balcony like in some sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but the lady behind the grass grabbed hold of my throat and pushed me down into the rails. The other guy was laughing with a red demonic face. The lady then stabbed me in the throat with a shard of glass as I awoke from my sleep.

I awoke in my bed, still asleep, where this shadowy figure was stood beside me. His arms looked like the legs of a praying mantis, and he was completely naked. He pinned me down and said that he was a 'negomonom' and that he was going to make me bleed. I was stabbed in the chest, whilst awake in my bed fully, as I started to fall from the clear blue sky. I saw the pearly gates and a rainbow as I fell away from Heaven into the fiery depths of hell. Then I started to research dream (tarot) interpretations and found that this dream is usually associated with witchcraft. I think someone cursed Snowdrop, there's a lot of neighbour conflict that's been happening over the past couple of years so it's probably them. Or my time could be coming to a close on this Earth because my mother has been cursed by witchcraft. 7 years after she dies, I supposedly die. I want this curse removed and I'm willing to relinquish all material possessions and ambitions to become closer to God if there's a chance that my soul will be spared. But is my soul even worth sparing at this point?

I think that someone in my family might pass away very soon and be sent to Hell, the demon in my dreams is probably their torturer. I wasn't afraid of him, I just felt anger. I felt like squeezing this demon's head until his eyeballs pop out, maybe that's just denial for my sins.

The world’s population will reach 8 billion people on Tuesday, representing a “milestone in human development” before birth rates start to slow, according to a projection from the United Nations.

In a statement, the UN said the figure meant 1 billion people had been added to the global population in just 12 years.

Environmental impact​

Reaching an 8 billion global population “is an occasion to celebrate diversity and advancements while considering humanity’s shared responsibility for the planet,” UN Secretary General António Guterres said in the UN statement.

Having more people on Earth puts more pressure on nature, as people compete with wildlife for water, food and space. Meanwhile, rapid population growth combined with climate change is also likely to cause mass migration and conflict in coming decades, experts say.

And whether it’s food or water, batteries or gasoline, there will be less to go around as the global population grows. But how much they consume is equally important, suggesting policymakers can make a big difference by mandating a shift in consumption patterns.

Carbon emissions of the richest 1%, or about 63 million people, were more than double the emissions of the poorest half of humanity between 1990 and 2015, according to a 2020 analysis by the Stockholm Environment Institute and non-profit Oxfam International.

Resource pressure will be especially daunting in African nations, where populations are expected to boom, experts say. These are also among the countries most vulnerable to climate impacts, and most in need of climate finance.

Hey everyone,
Just thought I would update you all on my seizures. So far for the past month and since I asked for prayers, I have not had a single seizure. What is weird about this is its usually stressed induced. So I am trying my hardest to stay relaxed and calm. I am finding it is helping along with everyones' prayers. For which I ask you keep on coming. Thank you all!

Hey guys so back in July I came on here to get advice and help as I felt convicted because I modified software that I got from ebay and used illegal files to make it run and not have to activate it as photoshop cs3 servers have been taken down as of years ago. Well after seeing the responses I reailzed I was sinning and immediately deleted and permanently erased the software from my computer. In this time I realized it doesn't matter why your doing it there is no justification for sin. It doesn't matter that the seller scammed me, It doesnt make it right to do something and use something your arent supposed to be using. Onto now, so Four months have passed since then and I wanted to say that I ended up revicing a blessing from God. My dad was able to get me a legit copy of photoshop 5.0 from ebay in the orignal box and serial number for a good price and the best news is it doesn't need to be activated as the activation servers didn't exist when it was made and It works on my computer completely legally. It is super old like from the 90's but it works and I'm glad God blessed me with something good enough I can use for my art.

The New Beaujolais has arrived!

Or in the original French: "Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!"

I will try to get it today.

At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun.

By the time it is over, over 65 million bottles, nearly half of the region's total annual production, will be distributed and drunk around the world. It has become a worldwide race to be the first to serve to this new wine of the harvest. In doing so, it has been carried by motorcycle, balloon, truck, helicopter, Concorde jet, elephant, runners and rickshaws to get it to its final destination. It is amazing to realize that just weeks before this wine was a cluster of grapes in a growers vineyard. But by an expeditious harvest, a rapid fermentation, and a speedy bottling, all is ready at the midnight hour. By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is to be released no earlier than the third Thursday of November.
