  • 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.

Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

Trump Announces Halt On Migration From ‘All Third World Countries’

President Donald Trump announced that he will "permanently pause” immigration from all Third World countries and “remove” anyone who is not a “net asset” to the United States.

From Truth Social:

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.

Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!

Why do people hate ICE...

In a statement to ABC News' Boston affiliate WCVB, a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Lopez Belloza had a removal order since 2015 and confirmed her removal.

This judge overstepped their authority. The judge is not an immigration judge.

Is it your claim that if the executive department disagrees with the legality of a judges order it can simply ignore it?

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

Sex is often determined by sex chromosomes (in mammals) or gametes size and motility (more widely).

But why should I disregard what seems to be obvious social factors in determining gender? As I said (almost?) no one is using sex to determine pronouns, saying sex determines pronouns is a red herring. I've yet to meet, anyone that does is regularly and who can describe how they do it.
There are no social factors. Men who prefer feminine roles are still men, women who prefer masculine roles are still women.

Never heard of tomboys or metrosexual?

Healing and debate. My testimony

I believe you must find yourself a church… God will lead and guide you.Seek one out.

Hebrews says, Do not give up meeting together as is the habit of some, but more and more as you see the day approaching.
Here is the quote… Hebrews 10:24-25:

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Two National Guard soldiers shot in Washington DC

Extremely unfortunate. Looking at both Trump's and Biden's involvement in all of this, I conclude that... I put the complete blame on the murderer, who should receive the full weight of the law.
Well said and I agree completely!

Two National Guardsmen Shot and Killed in DC

Although some initial reports that both had died were wrong, now one has, alas.

1 of 2 National Guard members wounded in 'targeted shooting' has died, Trump says

The other wounded National Guard member remained in critical condition.
May he rest in peace and rise to glory! May God comfort and strengthen those who mourn! Amen!

The Biblical Basis of 10 Catholic Distinctives

The topic of discussion at the Jerusalem Council was the relationship between circumcision and Gentile believers. On that we are in complete agreement. If, in fact, God had replaced circumcision with baptism does it not seem at all odd that it was not even recorded??

Also, if baptism is salvific for Cristians was circumcision also salvific for Jews?
Yes. Yes, it was.

Angels are the REAL Guardians of the Galaxies...

Somewhere in one of his Space Trilogy novels, CS Lewis dabbled with the idea of angels directing the "heavenly bodies".

At one point Professor Ransom, the central character in the trilogy, met an angel.

Ransom's character was based upon Lewis himself - an Oxford don specialising in literature who loved hiking, although he walked with a limp from "a sound Blighty" - World War I wound from an artillery shell.

He wrote that the physical surroundings seemed to revolve around the angel, and not vice versa.

Granted it is only fiction, but he used the idea.
I still need to read them! But my TBR list is endless!
