  • 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

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    I'm careful about claiming as to whether or not God speaks to me. The times I say God spoke to me, I prayed for confirmation, and recieved it. The time I said I wasn't entirely sure.. well, I wanted to marry the girl so badly that I ran with what I believed God to have said. But i never got...

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    That was quite the amazing read. Thank you. Although, I don't see where you're drawing the confusion that I'm grieved and wrestling with my sin. I thought I indicated the opposite, actually. This is a serious problem for me

    Actually you're spot on. When I said that I believe that God told me He would allow me to marry her, I also felt that the vision represented the path we were heading down.

    There is still the problem when you go to the Greek. Technically, it cannot be accurately translated to English. There will always be translation variations.

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    The epistles' sole purpose is to expand upon the gospels teachings. Jesus said that nobody can take you from His hand. Yes, if you remain in His hand. Everything Jesus promised was conditional. "Remain in me, and.. Abide in me and.... If my words remain in you...." Enough with the ear tickling...

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    I hope that i only suffer in this life for what I have done. If i do somehow come out of this, the Lord will use me to set many free from the bondage i'm experiencing.

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    I believe an apostate is defined as, those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, and then fall away, or turn from their allegiance. My bible college may have mentioned it, I...

    I want to live in sin. But i know the end result. I want to have the desire to live for Jesus.

    It's still in the present tense.

    How can I come back from being apostate? (Hebrews 6)

    True, but what "many people" do does not define my experience, nor the vetting of it's legitimacy through prayer and the light of scritpure that I've put the experience through.
