  • 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.

When the Sacrament Bites Back: Has Communion Ever Frightened You?

Paul says some of you are sick and dying because you gulp the Supper unworthily (1 Cor 11). Share the moment the bread and wine stopped being routine and started feeling dangerous.

What happened, and how did it change the way you prepare?
I've never had a negative experience with the Eucharist. I have received miraculous healing though.

What's on your mind? Friendship Court edition.

My job takes up too much of my time. It's different than what it was 5 years ago. I wish I could find something that I absolutely enjoyed with a reputable company. I don't know what I'm going to do.
What was it like 5 years ago?
What is your ideal job?

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

This addresses the New Covenant perspective

But every single verse that you posted in those threads as well as your arguments have been thoroughly rebuked. Just because you won’t accept reality and continue to post the same tired arguments are not going make them true.

No Mayor - you cannot control privately owned businesses - if they want to leave, they can.

If the US government can, and state governments can, why can't the city?
They can? Show me where the State or Federal Government can tell a company they can't close their doors.
We could have had taco trucks on every corner.
Really? Free Taco's! Where?

Gallup: Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World

I don't know what to make of that.

For the Christian nationalists, when it comes to immigration, old Europe is probably less religious than South Americans, but South/Central Americans are the wrong sort of people (or so I hear tell). Otoh, after WWII, an awful lot of old Europeans went to Argentina, so maybe if South Africa doesn't produce enough workers for us, we can get them from there? Just musing....
Is that when Italians and Germans went to Argentina?

Gallup: Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World

Yes. A lot of people call themselves "Christian" but do not think following Christ is important. That is not new. They believe in Jesus, but do not follow Jesus.
As in so called Sunday Christians? Then yes, I can agree. I think it depends how sincere they are or not- only God knows.

Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

The new covenant also has an altar, Priest, sacrifices etc just like the old covenant was.
And the OLD COVENANT. HAD ALTERS

HAD animal sacrifices

Had Priests

And read Heb. 9:18 says why the LAW could set. SIN ASIDE because animals blood can NEVER take away SIN

Only Jesus BLOOD shed on. the CROSS will ever save

and THE. NEW COVENANT belongs to IRAEL. and IF. you believe in. the NEW COVENANT. , How are you. you saved under the NEW COVENANT with a verse !!

Not a lot of respect for men

I have serious doubts about men leading anything because they seem weak willed and weak minded.

Satan runs the world (Eph 2:2)He has worked for centuries to manipulate and collectivize the world. He needs collective to leverage his influence. In order to get people willingly to form and enter these collectives, he needed a compliant population. In order to get each generation to be more compliant he has made great use out of public education.

There is a joke about a mother complaining, "When Billy was five years old and the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. When Billy was ten years old, the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. When Billy was 15 years old the teacher told him to shut up and sit down. Billy is 25 now and I wish he would go out and find a job.

In addition to the programming of youth, Satan has done a lot to destroy families such that parents think that putting their children in Sunday school and public school is all that is needed. It is sad to see how much is lost. It is not just men who have been crippled as a result of these changes Satan has directed us into.

Release from Epstein files

For example, Trump's National Security Advisor was convicted of lying to the FBI about his meeting with Russian agents. Roger Stone was convicted on November 15, 2019, of seven felonies, including lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional investigation related to Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

No point in denying the facts.
The Obama FBI performed a political hit job against General Flynn. That is a fact. It is also a fact that Roger Stone was rail roaded by progressive liberal judges.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

In the Sabbath commandment there was always a provision for everyone (stranger within your gate) Exo20:8-11 The Scriptures recorded as being given directly from God said that the Sabbath was made for humanity (including Gentiles) and His house (church) would be a house of prayer for all nations Mark2:27 Isa56:6-7 those who hold onto His covenant Isa56:6 which we see the fulfillment in the NC with both Jews and Gentiles coming together every Sabbath, almost the whole city (everyone) coming to together to hear the word of God on His holy Sabbath Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 18:4

If the Sabbath is only for Jews, means only they will be saved, but according to Jesus He says all flesh will come before Him to continue in the New Heaven and New Earth for Sabbath worship Isa66:22-23. God made the Sabbath at Creation for all humanity Exo20:11 Mark2:27.

Sadly, not everyone accepts His blessings Isa56:2 and sanctification Eze20:12 and He won't force it on us. But I do not see how we can sanctify ourselves, its not something Scripture says we can Isa66:17 we need God Eze20:12 Eze20:20 Exo20:11
You need to understand the Sabbath in the new covenant perspective. You still at the old covenant Sabbath understanding. Otherwise you'll miss true Sabbath Rest which is found in Jesus. Read the Galatians warnings.

Gallup: Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World

The 17-point drop in the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life — from 66% in 2015 to 49% today — ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.

About half of Americans now say religion is not an important part of their daily life. They remain as divided on the question today as they were last year.

As religiosity has declined in the U.S., the gap between the U.S. and the global median has widened. The global median for religiosity has remained stable for nearly two decades, averaging 81% since 2007 and reaching 83% last year, the most current full-year data available.

At the same time, attitudes in the U.S. are drawing closer to those in other advanced economies.
