  • 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

    Gods "chosen"

    So you believe (using example) God called you to have the chance to follow him But did not call me so no matter what I will not be able to come to him? These are my two questions, I understand how unclear I was before. I know we do not know why God calls personally, that is what I was trying to...

    Its all good Whisper. The Holy Spirit already convicted me for getting angry with someone over scripture. I'm done debating and simply seeking an answer... although I have to start concentrating more on my exam for tomorrow and leave this be for a bit. :)

    Gods "chosen"

    Well brother, I thank you for simply posting an answer rather than pushing an argument. I do know what a conjunction is, studying this for less than 4 hours on and off while I also study for a trade license I am going for tomorrow is throwing me off a bit. But the entire point of all this is not...

    Yes, that is what John 6:44 says. What about John 6:64-65? Sounds to me as a reason for John 6:44?

    I still see it as believers... what am I missing?

    John 6:43-51 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.&#8217...

    Gods "chosen"

    (foreknow) anticipate: realize beforehand I still see nothing where it says he randomly picked names out of a gum ball machine to be elect. It gives no reason as to why he picked who. I'm not saying I believe 100% he did not choose his elect, but there is a reason he picked who he picked and at...

    I don't see where it says anything about God picking a few people and forcing them to love him and forcing the rest to hate him... what part of Romans 8 am I reading wrong?

    Gods "chosen"

    Really something I need to study, but sounds much better than for God to draw bingo numbers on people theory

    Gods "chosen"

    That is what I believe at this time, but many times in the past I have believed things and God showed me I was wrong, I won't really know until I study it. But I do know how loving and wonderful God is, I know all the scriptures in the bible point against the theory that he randomly picked...

    Gods "chosen"

    No, it is because God is all knowing. for example if you are driving down the road and come to a three way, no matter what way you choose to turn God knows the outcome of all three ways. If you turn left there might be a speeding drunk that you would hit. If you turn right you might end up...

    Gods "chosen"

    So God doesn't know all? He doesn't know who would follow him and who would not? Besides, it does not say he doesn't pick them by there actions. It doesn't say why he picks them so by you assuming it is because he randomly hand picked people for no reason other than eni meni miny mo is also...

    Gods "chosen"

    I agree that it would be the truth, but to say he chooses without us having a choice if we can love and follow him is calling him a lier because he said he wants no one to perish. If he wants no one to perish but chose to force people to love him and force others to hate him then he is...

    Gods "chosen"

    Jesus talks about people will knock but he will say go away, I did not know you. That is where I get the idea he chose who he knows will follow him. He knew you and I would be having this conversation long before you or I were born. He knows who will follow him, those who follow him he knows...

    Gods "chosen"

    Anyone who says it, I have seen many people say that on here, other forums and outside of the internet. I'm not going to pick names, but when someone says God chooses who he wants and does not want it can have very harmful effects on some people. Not me, I could care less what man teaches to me...
