  • 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.

    GOD'S STEADFAST LOVE Numbers 14:18 (NRSV) The LORD is slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression. 2 Peter 3:9 (NRSV) The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to...

    Hi All Here are some of the key passages in the New Testament (NRSV) that show that a person's salvation is based on their belief in Christ. I hope they help. God bless Matthew 16: 16-15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Matthew 16: 16-17 Simon Peter answered, "You are...

    Hi Robert The reason the people are saying that the Holy Spirit had given them up is because they have spent far too much time listening to the likes of J Harold Wilson. They get some kind of idea in their minds that God has abandoned them (when in fact He hasn't) and then they listen to...

    Hi Robert I'm sorry but I must have edited my post at the same time that you posted yours. I've reposted mine, so the full edited version will be on this thread now. If you want my honest opinion about the video, I think he is preaching heresy and is causing tremendous damage to the cause of...

    Hi Robert I have looked at the Youtube video link. Unfortunately the audio playback wasn't very clear, but from the parts I managed to hear, I think he is basing his views on his interpretation of Genesis 6:3. I have heard that doctrine preached before. Not only do I totally disagree with...

    Hi again Robert God touches people's lives and brings people closer to Himself in many different ways. Some people get very dramatic conversions, such as the case of Saul, and others have more gradual journeys into the faith. I will share with you my journey into the Christian faith. I...

    Caty, you should not be worrying about whether you have committed that sin or not. You most certainly haven't! I don't just believe that, but I can assure you that for certain - and I will tell you why. Firstly, Jesus died for all our sins. This is repeated throughout the scriptures. There...

    Here is an extract from The Road to Daybreak which was written by the late Father Henri Nouwen. It is one of the most moving Christian writings I have read and helped me during one of the most difficult periods in my life. I hope you are encouraged by it. I am your God, I have moulded you...

    Robert, I do understand the situation that you are going through, as I went through a similar situation during my first summer home from university about 15 years ago. There came a point when I believed that God had totally abandoned me and for weeks I could get no peace day or night. I know...

    Hi Robert I appreciate where you are coming from and can understand why you have been feeling concerned. I have heard it taught by some preachers/ministers that putting off one's salvation results in the Holy Spirit eventually abandoning that person. I do not believe that is the case and I...

    Unfortunately I have seen many preachers put a lot of pressure on people to get 'saved' long before they are ready to make that commitment. You have not made a terrible mistake. You felt at the time that you were ready to make that commitment, but obviously that was not the right time for...

    You do not need to despair at all Robert. God has most certainly not rejected you. The very fact that you wanted (and still want) Jesus Christ in your life clearly shows that the Holy Spirit is still with you bringing you to faith in Him. I totally respect you for the fact that you did not...

    Hello Robert That is a good question, but unfortunately it is quite a difficult one to answer. Once an individual has had the truth of Christ revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, if he then rejects the message of the gospel and totally turns away from it, he will probably never come to...
