  • 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.

    Faith alone?

    If it is of works then it is not of faith. Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for righteousness (right doing).

    Luke the Gospel of errors

    You sound like Bill Clinton with what the meaning of "is" is. Have you no common sense in dividing right from wrong. Strong meat is for them of full age who by use have sharpened their senses to discern between good and evil. God is not the author of confusion.

    Faith?

    Faith is believing without proof. I have faith that God is who he says he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    The Great and First Commandment

    Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil: for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born...

    Can God choose to let sin go unpunished?

    Sin is not being punished, the sinner is the guilty party: guilty of committing sin, and the wages of sin is death. The reason there needs to be punishment is becasue God said so: there must be an atonement. What are you going to do, fight against God? And God provides us a way to avoid the...

    Can God choose to let sin go unpunished?

    God does not let sin go unpunished: Christ bore the punishment for all sin in his own body on the cross. Jesus Christ is the only man to have ever truly suffered death of the spirit; and God has revived and raised him up that he might draw all men unto Him that through Him we are able to be...

    Kingdom of heaven/God, different or same?

    The Kingdom of Heaven: the Kingdom of God. God's kingdom consists of his Spirit, his Ghost, and his Son. God's kingdom consists of his creations; both angelic and human; both celestial and terrestial. God's kingdom is endless and yet it comes from within: thy kingdom come, thy will be done...

    eternal security and apostasy

    Jesus told Peter that "Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you like wheat". When you sift wheat all the wheat kernels are shaken out and you are left with just the chaff. This is exactly what Satan has been doing to you: he has been knocking the faith right out of you; he wants to...

    Difficulty praying and reading the word.

    I do pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that God will revive your heart to pray and read the Bible. Study to show yourself approved of God. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally and scolds not. It is also remembered that Solomon wrote "much study is a...
