  • 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 dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

What an AP reporter found when she investigated US military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats

The four dead men included a fisherman, a down-on-his-luck bus driver, a former military cadet and a local crime boss.


The 42-year-old [fisherman] was considered among the peninsula’s best pilots, [and] wanted to save enough money to buy a 75-horsepower boat engine so he could operate his own [fishing] boat and not work for others.

Bavarian city backs down on ‘buffer zone’ banning prayer at abortion clinic

The Bavarian city of Regensburg has withdrawn restrictions banning prayer vigils near an abortion clinic following court rulings that found the buffer zone violated constitutional freedoms, according to a report by CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner.

The Bavarian city lifted its 100-meter (328-foot) exclusion zone around abortion facilities on Oct. 24 after suffering setbacks before both the Regensburg Administrative Court and the Bavarian Administrative Court, according to a Nov. 6 press release from the international human rights organization.

The city established the buffer zone in summer 2025, effectively prohibiting prayer vigils held by the group Helpers for God’s Precious Children Germany in the immediate vicinity of the clinics, CNA Deutsch reported Nov. 7.

The sequence of events

My response is; Know the truth and it will set you free.

While the fond imaginings of the 'rapture to heaven' believers is an easy and nice anticipation for them, when it doesn't happen, as the world faces disaster, Zephaniah 3:8, Revelation6:12-17, their not knowing which way to turn; Luke 21:25-26, will make it very difficult for them.

CC, may I suggest you look at the articles on the rapture theory on; www.logostelos.info

Anti-Israel mob hit with FACE Act complaint after disrupting Christian, Jewish interfaith services

A mob disrupted a planned gathering with Jewish visitors at a pro-Israel church in California, shouting vulgarities at attendees through bullhorns and blocking their path as they attempted to leave, a new lawsuit claims.

The Mission Church of Carlsbad and The Christian & Jewish Alliance of San Diego claim they are facing a "campaign of disruption and harassment" due to their members' support for Israel, according to the federal complaint filed on Tuesday by attorneys with First Liberty Institute and Jones Day.

“We at The Mission Church simply want to be able to worship and support our local Jewish community without fear or intimidation," Pastor JC Cooper said in a statement. "It's of the utmost importance that our congregation feels safe in our house of worship."

Princeton University facing civil rights complaint as bathroom policy sparks women's safety concerns

Princeton University's "gender-neutral" bathroom policy has reportedly left some women on campus feeling "scared" in one of the few spaces they've considered a "safe haven," according to a new federal complaint.

The parental rights group Defending Education filed a complaint last week against Princeton University with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, accusing the university of violating Title IX civil rights law by denying female students' rights to sex-segregated intimate spaces, requesting that the department investigate.

Kilauea Volcano is spectacular today.

The North vent had a bunch of overflows, then the south vent did its overflow thing. Now it is switching back to north vent. This morning it tried a new trick with a mini fountain as depicted in this video (like all afartv videos, the sound is generic eruption sound and not connected to the video.

WHAT WAS A PROMINENT APOSTLE DOING WITH PAUL. ??

No he was not, read Galatians 2 from the start. Peter feared the judgment of the Jews for eating with gentiles, it was this hypocrisy what Paul called him out on.

Aristarkos
And in verse 14 , Peter was a Jew but living like a GENTILE. and not like a Jew and trying to COMPEL. the Gentiles

to. ADOPT Jewish CUSTOMS and RITES , but I knew you did understand. , good for YOU !!

And there are many that SAY that they are CHRISTIANS , but trying to keep the Law. but. the Law has been set aside

in Rom 6:14 NOT under the LAW. but under GRACE. !!

The word CHRISTAINS just means a FOLLOWER. of Christ. and first used in Acts 11:26. and are not SAVED by GRACE

Tree of Church History: How are branches changing currently within Ancient Christian spaces or Traditional ones?

What are significant world events that have caused the the church or groups within it to change substantially?
I appeared on Pastor Brandon Warr's YouTube channel recently and he asked a similar question. I replied with WW2. Upon further reflection, both world wars had a significant impact on 20th century Christianity that is still felt today. It could be that as the generation who participated and their children die that some of the effects could be undone. We shall live it and see.
