• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Arminianism is untenable

No, you tried to suggest that believing in Christ's name need not involve belief in the cross/resurrection atonement (since you are mindful of the fact that one cannot be condemned for not believing in something from which one has been excluded). Unfortunately, the miracles, wonders and signs accredited Christ - such works are the very source of belief. And Christ's death and resurrection are explicitly stated by Christ to be a sign.

Please try again.

Anyway, sticking with the subject of this thread...

Please stop with the redirect to your ignored thread. Is getting pathetic, now.

Would you please be courteous to the rest of us who read this thread, by telling us to what you are referring?

I don't have a clue what you topic is with this kind of comment.

This is a forum that is supposed to allow others to participate. I can't do that when the content of your post is unclear.

The one it goes to (392).

Bye.

I find that to be a smart alec kind of comment as this was my response to what you had written to janxharris:

It had zero to do with my saying Bye. So yours here is a red herring fallacy when you don't answer my question about a request to tell me what you are talking about, with your response to jan.

By the way, you also said, Bye.

I thought you were leaning my thread. I guess I was wrong. Or "bye" means something different in your neck of the woods.

That's another red herring comment where you don't address the issue I raised. No, I'm not "leaning my thread", whatever that means.

I keep committing red herring logical fallacies. You cannot have a discussion with me if I continue to do so. And since you cannot seem to address the OP...

Bye

MOD HAT ON

The thread has been cleaned up.

Please remember to stay on-topic and if you wish to discuss something different, feel free to create a thread pertinent to that line of discussion and PM a link to the people you'd wish to discuss it further with.

Also, more importantly as it has already been implicitly stated in this thread before, address the post and not the poster.

The thread is open again.

MOD HAT OFF

I know who true Israel are, thanks. And their sins were either atoned for, or they weren't.

Assertion.

If their unbelief was atoned for in the way you seem to be suggesting, then what's left to be done? Why would belief be necessary?

The fact that belief is necessary should tell us something about the nature of the atonement. It should help us define it, shouldn't it?
