  • 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.

The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

I believe Christians generally will be blindsided. There were all those following Trump blindly to get him in office, and they are in denial of what is happening to the world, to let it continue as is, because any crisis from it does not fit their eschatology, they are so sure theirs is the right understanding. I can see how that will go, and God hates the destruction to this earth, why will God stop the collapse of that which is destructive?
Revelation 11:18
Because there are innocent people within those places that have to shoulder the burden just because everybody else surrounding them has turned away from God.

It's always the innocent little guy that gets disadvantaged while the spiritual world battle between good and evil is waged. It's just like politics.

I wonder if his previous CIA affiliation and resulting immigration came with a price of recall for future use
That caused me to raise an eyebrow. This is not an ordinary crook or even an ordinary Muslim terrorist.

If it's a false flag attack, I still can't guess which fly he is flying under.

The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

God has battled adversity since before the creation of our universe. Again, as I have said, there is a necessary plan in place to set things right but that is often overlooked because it is hard for us to comprehend the time required to have both elohim and man properly adapt to the knowledge of good and evil. Remember, creation is made up of opposites and for elohim and man alike, and for both to be servants to God rather than self-serving despots, we all must come to terms in dealing with this knowledge without trying to assume control. It is God's plan, but He is timeless while to us it seems forever for His plan to come to fruition.

As a side note but of extreme relevance, we can look back on the Nuremberg trials after WW II. It focused on the leaders of Nazi Germany and a psychiatrist that was charged with determining whether they were sane enough to stand trial for their crimes. He came to the stunning reality that they were indeed sane and intelligent, cool and calm, yet extremely evil and manipulative, turning the concept of evil on its head. These men saw their thinking and leadership as superior and godlike. This, of course corresponds with how the powers and principalities, the rebellious elohim, have always influenced leaders to control the people and to do the will of God's elohim adversaries. It happened pre-flood, post Babel, and all through time until now as these rebellious elohim exert their influence upon willing mankind. It produced wars among nations but there has been a frightening change.

We now live in an age where the electric power of the air fuels communication. Turn on the tv, radio or internet. Media has become the new elohim influenced leader of humanity, and humanity itself has taken on the character of those former Nazi leaders. We've gone from isolated warring nations to a global warring of leaderless people against people, not of nations but even in the home. It only took 50 years for this to happen and today it is not just the leaders but the people themselves that have taken on this evil attitude in their continuing and growing support of divisiveness and self-authoritarianism. The obvious result of this will be world-wide annihilation of each other and we not longer follow leaders but all assume the role of evil itself in pursuing this divisiveness and hating family and neighbour, contrary to the will of God. It's all part of God's greater plan but it ain't gonna be pretty as the grain is separated from the tares.
What is the "self-authoritarianism" you mean? The Bible has rules and commandments, and Jesus himself says that any mild deviation is lukewarm and therefore, they are not saved at all and might as well have committed the original sin. How are the implications of this not spiritual authoritarianism?

Male Accountability Thread

is anyone willing to be an accountability partner to me and me in return. I have been having a bunch of falls to lust for a while now and just want to break free from it.

I don't think I would be a good fit. I feel like I define lust way more narrowly than you do. But I do hope you find the right person who can help you.

Sounds like you are … blaming Trump. Call me surprised.
For the shooting? No. For the needless deployment people have been arguing against for several months now? Yes, I am. Who else would there be to blame for that?

Two National Guard soldiers shot in Washington DC

Your point has been made and I agree that they shouldn't be deployed there. Considering that, maybe it is time to stop deliberating on that aspect.
It’s an aspect about this many want to overlook but yes, I agree it’s not the most central part of the story. I think it’s important to highlight. Another side is how determined he was to drive across the country to carry this out in the nation’s capital. Makes me think the blame lies a bit more on our foreign policy of the past 25 years than any specific action from any recent administration.

The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

Its too late and was always going to be this way. In fact I believe it has taken a giant step towards that end. I can see it in my own lifetime in how people have rejected God and chaos has resulted.

But remember though God allows such things there is a limit. Remember S & G and even the Egyptians and even the Hebrews when they rejected God this set off a series of bad stuff happening. Usually it was through natural disasters. But I believe the earth is also moving towards this end and is groaning and shifting as evil is thrust upon it.

It all goes hand in hand and humans have cultivated their own destruction. We will see many great disasters even topling great idols and icons of the world. Eathquakes and eruptions as the earth shifts into a time of upheavel. But also fighting in the streets and rebellion and hate and chaos.

This is what happens when we reject God. Its always been the same and we can predict it. I think now in the west we have moved more away from God than at anytime since Christ. We are now in the Godless period once again.

But this time its Empire and perhaps even on a worldwide scale and not just a city or people warring. But there are dark principalities rising up against each other.

Christians are together and seperate from this in Christ. Like the early church under the Roman pagan world. We will be the light to the world in this in all this darkness.
At least natural disasters are honest. Nature doesn't discriminate among specific targets, unlike man.

Christ in Christmas?

Is Christ in Christmas?
Is this His business?
Is this His witness?
Christ now within us?

And does this matter?
Not empty chatter,
Not meant to scatter,
Nor faith to shatter.

Yes! It’s important,
So not leave dormant,
Remain informant,
The truth to warrant.

Christ not in Christmas.
It’s not His witness.
For in His strictness,
For truth He bids us

To know His teachings,
His truth now seeking,
Be we not sleeping,
His Word now reading.

Christ has a purpose,
Be in His service,
Not live on surface,
Your life He purchased.

Not follow idols,
Your sins now bridle,
Know what is vital,
Be His disciple.

If Christ to worship,
Do what He tells us,
What He compels us,
Not what world sells us.
