  • 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

    The Tulip is broken

    This is where the rest of us become confused. It's not the first time I heard both angles, but obviously one of them must be incorrect. The purpose of the Word of God being such an important issue, I'd expect a standard interpretation within Calvinism. -A

    Calvinists, how do you interprete this verse.

    Well, Jesus the Christ was a human being, and He didn't sin, so I'd say in this case 'all' doesn't mean 'all'. -A

    What's the truth about abortion?

    Very True Keep in mind - in the days of our Hebrew forefathers, a fetus does not carry the value of a full human life. It is considered a partial and potential life thus not open to murder or legal ruling, rather moral. The thought here is that the fetus has not yet taken the self-sustaining...

    Calvinists, how do you interprete this verse.

    The Tulip is broken

    Not that anything needs to be added to this but might I observe that the power of the gospel and the spirit is so in line with truth that most of us are naturally drawn to it because we seek what is right and truthful? -A

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    Sounds Good. I would disagree. The blotting out of names definitely occurred. Psalm 69:28 - Add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Your righteousness. May they be blotted out of the book of life And may they not be recorded with the righteous. Revelation 3:5 - He who...

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    Then I suppose I'll make good on my threat and cease to interact with you any further. It's pretty much futile to discuss scripture with someone who has such blatant disregard for the inspired word. Before I leave you allow me to prove you wrong once again: According to you king David looked...

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    I don't disagree. I use 'from' in my explanation as well, because that is what scripture states. The heading which includes 'at' is a title/summary of the opposing view. Revelation 20 shows Hades giving up its dead - both great and small - to be judged at the Great White Throne. Those who had...

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    How does one respond to such confusion? Favor You've effectively changed the definition to fit your theology. Forget that showing favoritism or choosing a favorite requires that you actually have a preference, or admire an attribute. Christ Died at the Foundation Again, you were proven...

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    The answer is that no Jew ever heard of the term 'born again'. It is a new term used by Jesus to describe a concept the Israelites were familiar with but had not yet undergone or experienced. Nicodemus's confusion towards the term (not the concept) prompted Jesus to clarify what he meant by...

    Did Noah find favor or grace?

    "How can these things be?" is akin to saying "How is this possible?". The literal Greek says: "Answered Nicodemus and said to him: 'it how able this be brought to pass (happen)?" To me it appears quite obvious that Nicodemus moved passed his initial ignorance regarding being 'born again' and...

    Why do Calvinists argue with people?

    True. I suppose we shouldn't really look at sides, rather the behavior of the individuals. I apologize for singling a few people out and I suppose this topic really serves no edifying purpose other than to allow some people to vent. -A

    Why do Calvinists argue with people?

    Quite the opposite, really. Everytime scripture is discussed you chime in with "...again the anti-Calvinist shows his ignorance....". When your not busy casting pejoratives your too busy being the victim to contribute anything valuable to the discussion. It's this sort of tired rhetoric that...

    Why do Calvinists argue with people?

    And, the OP point is validated by this very response. -A

    Why do Calvinists argue with people?

    In my experience there is a divide between those of the Reformed pursuation and Calvinists. Most who claim Calvinism as their banner thirst for conflict. It's those who simply consider themselves Reformed I've managed to have mutual pleasant conversations with. Granted, I have observed atrocious...
