  • 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

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    You believe you are righteous if you obey the ten commandments don't you. As I said, I do not have to know you. Paul, when writing to born again christians told them the TC were the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation. They are that way if you believe you have righteousness...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    I could not be as some are on these websites. I could not kid myself I obeyed the ten commandments so as to be justified/righteous before God. I knew in my heart I did not obey them, mainly on the inside. My Christian experience went beyond that. For a while I gave up with God, as I was a slave...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. 21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    If we have righteousness apart from obeying the law we have righteousness apart from committing sin, that is a biblical fact because sin is the transgression of the law. Its not what I am saying it is what the bible states multiple times. But tell me, as you do not obey the letter of the ten...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    What you imagine and what the bible states are two very different things: Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Rom3:20 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known...

    Do you really believe that faith produces works?

    Paul certainly believed faith produces works: For sin shall no longer be your master for you are not under law but under grace(through faith) Rom6:14

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    And ALL fail to keep it, hence our need for a saviour from sin/transgression of the law. Therefore, you are only righteous in God's sight because Jesus died for you, NOT because you obey the law

    The Bible - Man's Instruction Manual

    I have no interest debating with anyone who simply reels off partial verses of scripture, insists others follow them if they want to attain to eternal life, while they themselves do not even try to follow what they demand of others. It is not about winnig an argument to me by randomly quoting...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    It appears you are quoting the bible without understanding it: The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.” 17...

    Paul on the Law: Romans Chapter 7

    You seem unable to address the simple points made, so I will repeat them for your benefit: 1)Your belief is a contradiction, for you insist-in effect the believer is under the law of obey or die, which you admit condemns all 2) As you refuse to answer the question, I will answer it for you. You...

    The Bible - Man's Instruction Manual

    Theres too many people on these types of websites who demand of others what they do not try and follow in their own lives, all they want to do is win an argument. Its a fleshy thing. Be careful as what your true god is
