• 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 then can be saved?

So these evil people who died in the flood were doing what God wanted them to do or were they doing what God didn’t want them to do?
That's a silly question, because none of your two options are biblical, they just show that your theology is twisted. God allowed them to sin for a time, and then they went into everlasting punishment in hell.
God takes vengeance on all unbelievers, His wrath lasts eternally and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

You can believe in that god who failed in his attempt to save the whole world, but I believe in the God of the Bible who never fails to achieve His goals, because He is Almighty.
It you understood the gospel you'd know that God doesn't fail; He allows man to fail and that's why we have a place called hell. Hell is a choice, to remain separate from God with all that implies.
Our theology didn't come from a book, so you're dead wrong there. Our theology comes from 66 books, and yes we believe that Gods Word (the 66 books) trumps anything your guys with long beards and robes have to offer. I'll follow the Lord and you c an follow your guys.
The bible's not a book now? Beards? You're thinking of some other group I guess but either way I'll say you certainly like to argue, but ignorantly and unconvincingly. You assume I'm wrong. You haven't studied on your own enough to even know.

You didn’t answer the question. Did God want them to sin or were they doing something that God didn’t want them to do?

Where did you get the idea that God is obliged to save every devil
He is not obliged to take them to heaven, but to give them opportunity to repent and be worthy of heaven, because He said His way is fair Ezekiel 18, and that He will be judging in righteousness, that is not my opinion, that is what He through Paul said, Acts 17:30-31

"But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earth, and some to honor and others dishonor. If a man purge himself from dishonor, he shall be a vessel of honor, sanctified and meet for the masters use and prepared until every good work." 2 Timothy 2:20-21

"How can a man cleanse his way? By taking heed unto the word of God." Psalm 119:9-10

Commanding someone to do what they can not possibly do is called evil in the Bible; Exodus 5:23 KJV one must also read the whole chapter for context.

God is not evil . Therefore, according to solid scripture, not my opinion, it is possible for anyone to find repentance via faith in Christ.

"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.'" Romans 10:17

You are saying that faith comes some other way, and the scripture does not say such.
And as someone else pointed out to you
John 6:45
"...He therefore that has heard and has learned from the Father comes to me."

The way anyone hears from the Father is through His word. We are to be in the business of sharing His word and the good news about Him with each and every creature, as He commanded.

"Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature...". Mark 16:15-16
