• 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.

Who has rendered us FIT as servants of the NEW TESTAMENT , Not of WRITING BUT of the Spirit , for the WRITING kills but the Spirit makes ALIVE .

The word TESTAMENT / DIATHEKE , and many believe that is means NEW COVENANT and that we are under the NEW COVENANT .

But the Greek word COVENANT . DIATHEKE can be translated by the following words >

#1 Covenant
#2 Testament
#3 Will
#4 Compact
#5 ARRANGMENT

What say you ?

They all have more or less the same meaning. Especially will. See Hebrews 9:15-28.

This is how I see Heb 9:15 and it speaks to the OLD COVENANT and also to the NEW COVENANT and COVENANT / DIATHEKE MEANS , WILL ?

When reading 2 Cor 3:6 we have to RULE out , NOT THE WRITING which are the Law of Moses called the WRITINGS .

and I say that NEVER wrote that we are saved by the NEW COVENANT , but saved by GRACE , rom 10"9 , Eph 2:8 and I see it eliminates the NEW COVENANT also .

The correct word that FITS HERE is a NEW ARRNGEMENT and that what the the apostle PAUL mean in this passage , Rom 16:25 and 26 the PREACHING , according to Paul's gospel the MYSTERY .
