  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    ARE GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED?

    That can definitely be a new conversation thread. The Catholic natural moral law & the positive divine law VS God's commandments is a very interesting comparison. I was amazed about what I had learned while making this comparison. I'm far from done and it has been an ongoing exercise for myself...

    ARE GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED?

    The title of the thread is "Are God's 10 Commandments Abolished?" The short answer is no. Let's stay on that topic. In regards to Paul, he explained clearly that it is the law that make us aware that we are sinning. The law (10 commandments) is the knowledge of sin. Read Romans 3:19-21 The...

    ARE GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED?

    Thank you brother for the welcome. God's word is simple if we allow it to be. I do not find the bible difficult to understand but at times, find it difficult to accept how God truly views the world. It's wonderful to be taught by God's word & I do the best I can to accept the truth of myself by...

    ARE GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS ABOLISHED?

    If God's commandments are abolished then I can do the following: NOT LOVE THE LORD 1) I can have other gods before me 2) I can represent the God with graven images 3) I can take the Lord's name in vain 4) I can forget the sabbath day as if it never existed 5) I can dishonor my mother & father...

    Serpent

    In Galatians 3:26-28, NASB & NKJV version says "sons of God...Interesting. The KJV say "children of God" So if a woman is considered a son of God, can there be an assumption that there were also women taking themselves upon the daughters of men as wives in the old testament? Just a little brain...

    Universalism...why not?

    God would prefer all to be saved (2 Peter 3: 9) Questions for you are... 1) Why would God save those who do not love him? If you love the world more than God, you are an enemy of God (James 4:4, 1 John 2: 15-16). 2) Why would God want people who chooses the world over him in his kingdom?

    Satan got me pretty good this time

    You can stop. You can overcome that temptation. It's your decision. The devil didn't make you do it. Let's keep this real & uncensored. You've tempted yourself from the satisfaction you receive from it. I've been there just like many others. If there was something you were not suppose to eat...

    Keeping Torah Was Not a Way of Salvation

    If the 10 commandments & God's statues do not lead to salvation for the Israelites, then why did God would say the following to the Israelites?... Deuteronomy 30: 10-20 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in...

    How are We to Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul & all thy mind?

    How are We to Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul & all thy mind?

    Thanks you for your responses. I've taken time to read all of them including the lengthy list of scriptures. In 1 John 5: 3 it states that "3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." In John 14:15, Jesus tells us, "15 If you love me...

    How are We to Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy soul & all thy mind?

    Jesus told us that we are to "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all the soul and with all thy mind which is the first & great commandment (Matthew 22: 37-38). My questions to everyone are the following: Are there instructions on how to Love the Lord thy God in this manner? If so...

    Is God's "Free" Gift of Salvation Really Free?

    Salvation is earned; it is not free. Please would someone show scripture(s) stating that salvation is free. If salvation is based on faith then you must show works to God. Faith without works are dead. (James 2: 14-26). Faith alone does not get you salvation. If one believes in God, that...

    How come good Friday is only two days from Easter Sunday?

    What OT institutions do you think I am saying are revived? I believe you are misunderstanding my response to the individual I was responding to. And I did not know you had the power to go into my mind to tell me Christ has no worth to me. All I simply showed with scriptures that there is no...
