  • 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.

Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe











Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

Not what I said, but your outlook tells you otherwise. Yes, death was the result of A&E putting their will ahead of the Will of God. It was a factory built safety in case we went rogue like the elohim previously. The dead were dead as resurrection never became a thing until 2000 years back. Choice was what Jesus gave us as to whether we follow the Will of God or our own in achieving the Kingdom. Those that died before Jesus still had been told all through the OT of the same choice, the same choice given A&E. The difference is now, yes, we still will die as soon as we put our will first and we all do, but now we get a chance to repent and find life again, having understood and shown we are worthy of the Kingdom and accept His will over our own. That understanding was not available to A&E as they had not yet taken the knowledge to be able to understand. They were restricted to 'don't touch' as they had no way of understanding why. We do and should make the right decision, not thinking we can have it both ways, pulling a rabbit out of the hat on our deathbeds but lacking the fruits to prove our allegiance to the will of God.
Man, you sure used a lot of sticky tape to hold your theology together. It's like the patchwork on a Mosaic Quilt, it's inconsistent and incoherent. Makes no sense at all and it's unbiblical.

I don't know who the "elohim" are that you're referring to. If you mean the "Angels who sinned" then just refer to them as Demons or fallen Angels.

I don't know what you mean by "the resurrection never became a thing until 2000 years back". If you're suggesting that those who died before Christ came into the world, were under a different covenant, then you're wrong again. God only made two covenants with mankind. The first was "the covenant of the law", only Adam and eve were under that covenant. And the rest of mankind is under thew "covenant of grace".

No third covenant was ever made so we are under the same covenant as Abraham (He is a born again Christian), just as Job, Moses, David and all those who lived before Christ came were.

The only difference between Moses and myself, is Moses placed his trust in the coming Messiah and he was saved by the same Lord Jesus who saved me. But I look back and Moses looked forward. None of us met the Lord Jesus,, but both of us were saved by Him.

God never gave anybody a choice, you have no choice. There is no such thing as free will, because everyone is born into slavery to Satan. Nobody can escape Satan's grip on them, if God doesn't free the captive, then nothing else can.

There is no difference now, the only difference is, I know more than Moses and Abraham put together, they would have loved to know what I know but it was hidden from them. I have the completed canon of scripture, while they only has fragments.

The biggest problem with your theory, is that you failed to take onto consideration the fact that a leopard cannpt change his spots. Just as the natural man can't change his nature. We can only act according to our nature, we are all born with a sin nature, so we sin because we are sinners by nature.
You can't, change your own nature, because you don't have access to the reprogram your operating system Only God has access because He knows the the password.

‘Just atrocious’: Trump’s polling numbers just hit a new low

If only Kamala had gotten elected, then we would be in good shape as millions of illegals keep flooding across the border.

Where do you think economies come from? The sky? Bad economies require bad decisions by business people. They need to go out of business, so businesses who make good decisions can take over. That process is cut short by government interference when it tries to make the economy better.

What really happens if the people via the government keep interfering with the economy over many decades? All those bad decisions accumulate until the economy stops working normally, then it is ready for a depression. This takes about 60 to 80 years of stability. We are at 80 years now.

The damage was already done before Trump got elected. It's too late now.

The Miraculous Medal Novena

Day 6... 11/23/25

O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors we ask during this Novena, if they be beneficial to our immortal souls, and the souls for whom we pray.

(Privately form your petitions here.)

You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the sanctuaries of your Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for us, then, a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart, which will attach us to God alone so that our every thought word and deed may tend to his greater glory. Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial, that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin, and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of men. Amen.

the myth of flat earth debunked again

Sorry - I don't know what you mean.

In response to @David Lamb's comment of:
But as I have said, perspective makes things look smaller and smaller, the further they are from the observer, so are you claiming that Cornwall is so small, and/or so far from where you live, that perspective cause it to be invisible?

You said, not even answering in full mind you:

That's right until it dosn't apper to be there anymore.

To which I asked:
Does that inability to see stop at roughly three miles?

So... does it stop at roughly three miles?

Needing a pastors counsel

I don't feel like I can pray right anymore. I'm scared I'm going to hell. I hallucinated audible demons. I have diagnosed schizophrenia but it felt so real.
I pray that God directs a pathway for you, both spiritually and physically, and pray that in Jesus' name.

Are you on a prescribed medicine, and taking it ?

Noah way?

What we know is that there are some very different and weird mammals and marsupials in Australia. Just as there are some unique animals to certain locations in the world. Such as elephants in Africa.

Either way if all the animals were on Noahs Ark. Or these strange creatures were there all along as a natural evolution. Places like Australia ended up with some strange and different creatures that other places did not have.

I don't think that is about Noahs Ark but rather the natural way in which those particular creatures ended up in those locations. Whether they came for a common source in Noahs Ark or a common ancestor.

If this was happening around 10,000 years ago then its close to the end of the last iceage. It may have been land bridges and I think many lands had ways of crossing. But also human movement and domestication of animals. Humans have introduced a lot of flora and fauna. Though it seems to survive and even thrive in some cases. It tends to disrupt the natural order and ends up causing more problems in the long run.

I have read something about the early culture around Lake Van and how this can be traced across the globe to the establishment of the worlds civilisations. From memory the sons of Noah. A bit like the biblical tribes. So I think there is some evidence and heritage. At least as far as the bible is concerned and how God interjected Himself into humankind.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

That is your interpretation of the Scriptures. God anointed Apostles for us to obey, not a book for us to interpret as our limited minds see fit.
Scripture has right interpretation and wrong interpretation. Jesus being tempted by Satan in the desert proves that beautifully. Satan quoted scripture to Jesus in order to tempt Him to sin.
Satan’s interpretation was not wrong, but is was incomplete and misleading in an attempt to get God to contradict Himself. Jesus rebuked him.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, and I subject myself to Apostolic teaching, of which we have a record over the last 2,000 years.
Has anyone referenced any of that? Did the Apostles teach the scriptures the way they are being taught today? I don’t see a concrete reference that they did. We even have evidence that they taught contrary to what is being promoted by modern Christians that rely on sola scriptura.
Have modern Bible readers received direct commission from God to go and promote their interpretation and compel obedience? If you are honest, you would have to confess no, but you believe your interpretation is correct.
So what am I to do? Subject myself to those personally anointed by God or subject myself to the opinions of others on what the scripture should say?
Jesus gave the great commission to the Apostles telling them to teach all that I have commanded YOU. He did not hand out gideons bibles and tell them to go into all the world and give them this book and let them figure things out on their own. The Bereans used the scriptures to test Paul, when Paul was shown to be true, they obeyed the Apostle. They did not start an independent Berean congregation

If y’all want to believe modern prophets in no way connected to the Apostles and follow independent thought that is your choice. Do you know where the word heresy comes from? It is derived from the Greek word for choice, hairesis.

It’s ironic that the 1960s counter culture began with growing long hair. You can even hear the song about it from the play Hair, a celebration of freedom of thought and even modern people call themselves pro-choice Ironic that they all sing of the glories of heresy

I whole heartedly agree with your last statement, Sabbath blessings. Jesus is the author of salvation to all that obey Him. It does not say to all that obey you.
To command obedience, one must have Apostolic authority, not free choice independent thought. The Apostles were anointed with tongues of fire, and spread their anointing through the laying on of hands. We have the direct line of apostolic succession all the way back to Peter. What commission from God do you have that we should believe you rather than them?
In order for you to hold yourself above the Apostles, you should at least know what they taught. Have you read Iraneus, demonstration of the Apostolic preaching? Have you read the Catechism of the Catholic Church and all the references included with the teaching?
If not, then you are speaking from independent thought or free choice aka heresy. I don’t follow that choice, I obey God as your final quote states
I admit that my own thoughts can be in error and I submit to being corrected by apostolic teaching. We do not subject ourselves to the choice of men.
You haven't addressed anything in her post or the video. If it isn't true, show it not to be true through the Scripture. Take care
