  • 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.

Why you should read the whole Bible

Warning: This post may cause you to read your Bible obsessively



Aside from loving God's word there is one single and powerful reason why every person who professes to be Christian should endeavor to read the whole Bible and memorize as much of it as possible and that is:












Satan. Yes satan knows the Bible inside and out, for he is always busy trying to find loopholes and ways to pervert and misuse it. Now what Christian in his right mind would be comfortable thinking of satan as his better when it comes to the word of God? If you can't be a better Christian then satan, what's the point?






More importantly, Satan knows about the Revelation. So don't fall for the obvious traps: fake second comings, fake raptures (google blue beam project) fake christs and antichrists, mark of the beast on other areas of the body, etc etc etc. Satan has put an unbelievably enormous amount of effort into his deceptions and when he is ready he will hit the whole world with the full force of all of them at once.






If you don't believe this could happen, well I know there is a verse of scripture somewhere (revelation I believe) that implies the deceptions will be so strong they will fool all but Gods elect, or come close to fooling God's elect, possibly in relation to cutting those days short.





The good news is you will probably be rewarded. Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams."


Acts 2:19-20 "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire and vapour of smoke: the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the lord come."


But, the best news of all is found in Acts 21 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved."

I have read the entire bible but I'm waiting for the day when I will see that it has benefited me to do so. I see others who have heard nothing, read nothing except believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they seem to do better than me in their walk and in their faith.

How do we know Satan did not send you to tell us this. After all Satan knows how to quote verses out of the Bible?

Because Satan doesn't warn anyone about him, reveal his plans to them, or try to rally people to read God's word. Would you have been one of those who accused Jesus of casting our demons in the name of beelzebub? Heaven forbid.

Jonahthesign, you make an excellent point. Just reading God's word is useless if we don't take it to heart, try to understand it, and apply it in our lives. When you tell someone to read the Bible, that is an easy assumption to make, but the lord himself tells us that many will see, but not percieve, hear and not understand.

I'll forgive both of you. Though I try my hardest, I can't do anything right. Alas, failure and being hard on myself to the point of despair is my life story. How then shall I endeavor to serve the lord?

How do you know so much about Satan as to be the authority on what Satan will or will not do or does or does not do? You need to stop making statements that are not facts...as if they are facts. And that is a fact.

I read the Bible all the time because I love Jesus! His Word is constantly in my remembrance, His Holy Spirit with me always, always refreshing me. The enemy doesn't come around much anymore :)
Praising you Jesus!

Your worst enemy is with you at all times. It is called your flesh.

Multiple posts with a lot of anger, I know the feeling. I'm not an authority on satan, but he is an immortal being who has been around long enough to know Gods word inside and out and want to corrupt it.

I have been struggling against satan my whole life. I sure hope that Jesus christ is not even remotely like you, samuel, else I'd might as well just kill myself. You see that I am struggling, saddened, and this is how you treat me. Would Jesus have proceeded to kick a man while he's down?

So I will tell YOU to get behind me satan. Why are you trying to oppose my warnings in this matter, surely it means you are the one who is without God and who worships satan, not I. No, I won't fall into the trap of telling someone they are without God. That's your business and you can burn in hell for it. Nay, let us forgive as the lord forgives us.

He is not in front of you...He is in you.

You just can not win can you?

Forgive them father, for they know not what they do. Even as the atheist who quoted Joshua 10:12 proved that God was real, so do these who oppose me do thy will by bumping this thread.

None of us can win, except but by the grace of Jesus. I will pray for you Samuel, even though you wish for me to burn. This one says I am without God and will not apologize, even so I hold it not against him.

You know this thread is one of the best I have made. I give it five stars. Thank you Lord, for delivering my thread into persecution, that it may therefore be proven faultless, and thank you for sacrificing this servant of the lord so that I may build up forgiveness and feel better about myself.

You need to convince God, not us.

Fact 1: He that says "thou fool" meaning without God, is in danger of hellfire
Fact 2: Satan has been around a very long time and is well aware of the Bible.
Fact 3: you have wished harm upon me from the launch of this thread and do so even now.
Fact 4: I have behaved as a faithful servant of the lord, you behave like the accusor. Get behind me satan!

Everything I have said is fact, you however refuse to accept the facts.
